do you guys think that the celebrity and the famous life is cool or pretty much pressure?

Pretty much pressure. i would hate not being able to do what i want when i want. and not being able to see my family because i would be doing a movie or something. but some things are cool. getting stores to close down for you or going right into a club without waiting. or getting food and drinks for free. even though that doesn't make sense. why would someone who has all the money in the world need stuff for free? hell i have no money i need stuff for free.

Can't say that I am ENVIOUS of any celebrity...however, I am impressed with those that make it big, don't get a big head because of it, use their celebrity status to make a difference in this world and at the same time remain true to themselves...

I think people will think that they'll get famous--their fifteen minutes so to speak.  I also think that the allure of money and the trip helps spur them to do it.\nSometimes I think that people that go on some reality shows really do want help, like Dr. Phil and Supernanny.  But people who go Jerry Springer are only doing it for the attention and so that their friends will think that they are cool.  Even the though the rest of America thinks they're idiots.\nI don't think I could ever go on any reality show because I'm too much of a private person, and the thought of the whole nation knowing my business creeps me out.

You should stop obsessing over people that the media/hollywood drill into peoples head, saying that celebrities are better than everyone else.\n\nBe happy with yourself... Is your life really that unintersting? The only reason the media promotes celebrities so much is to get you to spend your money on crap you dont need.\n\nIt is indeed a screwed up society that pays entertainers and sports figures more than they pay Teachers, Police, and even the President.

I agree with you. these people want to public to notice them...so they become rockstars, comedians, actors etc....but they expect the attention to be on the talent and not their personal lives. People wanna know everything about them, what they wear, who they fucked, their favorite food, even what their farts smell like....because they are famous. they are idolized people wanna be them....so they wanna know about them. Celebs know that no matter how much they try they will never have complete privacy especially in their love lives...Al though I dont agree with the flagging the celebs to take pics of the kids (becasue the kids didn't ask for this life, they were born into it.) Celebrities must realize that they are under a microscope and will be watched...they know that coming in....and if they are so mad about it, they need to stop doing stupid shit. because they will be scrutinized. Its ok for Jane Doe to be married 3 times, then become a lesbo, but not ok for j.Lo (just an example) because no one knows nor cares Jane Doe, but everyone knows who J.Lo is and they wanna know EVERYTHING about her.

I have met quite a few famous people.\n\nPresident Clinton - very charismatic\nQueen Noor - drop dead gorgeous\nBen Kingsley - ultra-cool\nMichael Moore - incredibly down-to-earth\nAl Franken - hilarious\n\nMost famous people are actually pretty normal.

Wow...ummm, how does this affect my life?  There are so many other things I could do with my time than worry about what a bunch of egotistical, attention craving "celebrities" say or do to one another.  Who cares?

I think that fame should be recognition for accomplishment; To be known for a difference you made in the world but in society today, it's basically a popularity contest. They go way too far just to gain attention. So being famous means being recognized by a large number of people worldwide. If I were offered instant fame, I would most likely take it but with the money and power that comes with it, I'd want to do something good that I'd be remembered for. I think it would be fun to do some acting, but eventually everything comes to an end, and I wouldn't want to be reconized and bothered every time I go out. I LOVE my privacy and that's not something I'm willing to sacrifice.

I work with celebrities as part of my regular job (writing for television), and while I'd rather not name names, I can tell you that they're all just people --- with the same personality quirks, flaws, and niceties as anyone else.  \n\nCelebs aren't magical beings who ride to work every day on a unicorn, after all.  \n\nGet a real hero or two --- a scientist or a front-line civil rights activist.  Enjoy your favorite shows, but give honor to those who really deserve some!

Doubt it. Tiger is such a good celebrity too...good influence on kids, etc etc. I like that guy.

Ah the price of fame.. I've dozens of people wanting my autographs and views on all sorts of things. It's a small price to pay for fame, I guess.

This is one of the best things I have ever heard for a long time. Dont get to meet celebs, but If I did, I would love to do it. Great Question!!

Potentially yes, they can be good role models. But a majority of them are not. Because a lot of celebrities are warped through so much fame and money, they forget what and who's important, disregarding everything else around them.

It is VERY wrong but that is what is important in the society we live in. Many people could care less about what's going on with our country, government, communities, etc., things they could contribute to and actually change. Instead they worship these celebs and follow every move that they make. All the while these celebrities are living it up and not caring about the fans who put them in the situations they are in. Some people can name all the celebrities who've had children and are pregnant now, but if you would ask them a relevant question, like who is running for governor in their state, they would have no clue. It's really sad!!

not at all, i completely agree. The whole world is one big ironic joke when you look at it, those who think any of this crap (property, wealth, employment, social status, celebrity) is important is going to get a rude shock when their life is over.

I don't know if it's completely true or not, but I found this website -\n\nhttp://www.askmen.com/toys/entertainment_100/149_gossip.htm\n\nCheck it out! It's so hard to tell with celebrities unless they come right out and admit it.

I think Hollywood has too much influence on our lives in general. Everything from politics to how many children to adopt. It seems that people have gotten to lazy to think for themselves and are easily swayed by big money interests and it's opinions.
