Life As A Star: Good Or Bad?

We all, have heard or read about stars saying they have been paying prices for being starts. They can not do what they would want to do, They can not live a normal life, etc etc. Life is even harder if they are not all that confortable economically so to say. They can't run after molue or even climb Okada because if they are not mobbed by people they will be the target of journalists.

But with all these, a lot still want to be stars. Is it really worth it? Please, let's hear your view.

We all, have heard or read about stars saying they have been paying prices for being popular. They can not do what they  naturally would have wanted to do: live a normal life, go to Oyingbo market, "demolishing" corn while strolling through Allen Avenue etc etc. Life is even harder if they are not all that confortable economically so to say. They can't run after molue or even climb okada because, if they are not mobbed by people they will be the target of journalists.

But with all these, a lot still want to be  a star. Does it really worth it? Please let's hear your view.

If you achieve stardom through decent labor, and it pays your bills, then it's worth it. If you're poor, it's not!

[i][/i]Life as a celebrity is boring, when u get down to it. Neva mind the initial noise-making and all, u'll finally get tired of it all. U know what they say about celebrity marriages: it never lasts!

See, it ain't easy bein' me
Life as a celebrity is less than heavily
I got these fakes and these back-stabbers chasin' me around
And it's always drama
Whevever I want to get around
Mama told me
Long before I ever came up
Gotta be true, to watchya' do
And keep ya' game up
'Cause things change
And jealousy becomes a factor
Best friends at your wifes house tryin' to MACK HER!
I'm on tour
But still they keep on knockin' at my door
And I got no time to worry
I'm steady wantin' more
Every day is a test, yes
I try hard
But I'm strugg-a-lin' with every breath

§ On the tabloids: "I despise what they do. They create soap operas out of people's lives. [Cameron and I] had our thing, and it's over. They edit that stuff like MTV edits reality shows. It's a spin game, and I choose not to take part in it.""

invasion of privacy and living under a microscope is what one pays for the price of fame. You make it work to your advantage or not. Being worth it or not is upto the person himself/herself, like everything there is a yin to the yang.

life as a celebrity is good because they get free clothes and other stuffs, they get loadz of money for a film and etc. the only downside is privacy issue but then again celebrities should know what they are letting themselves for when they wanna become one.

life as a celebrity cld be fab you see ppl doing things for you, you get free stuff, u are an inspiration to people, n all the gud stuff but it has its down sides like you hav to live a life to please ppl , sometimes you cant be urself, lack of privacy, but then it pays the bills n i wont mind being one wink wink wink

Life as a celeb? There is nothing like it. If not stars

like R. Kelly with bad publicity would have long gone.
Re: Life As A Celebrity: Good Or Bad? by MP007(m): 9:18am On Apr 08, 2007
Dont know abt other parts of the world,But here in the usa,I perfer not to be seen as a celeb cos paparazzi's make there life miserable.u loose weight to satisfy the public, u make public confession abt ur private life just to sell movies.aint down with all of that.

take it from mike tyson, he\'s done it all:

\"Real freedom is having nothing. I was freer when I didn\'t have a cent. \"

\"I been robbed of my most of my money, can I at least get sex without the people wanting to harass me and wanting to throw me in jail? \"

\"I know why they don\'t like me because they want the money I have. \"

\"Money! It\'s all about money. Before, I had money but no understanding of money, so they didn\'t care.\"

Mike Tyson

love the money and the fame comes with it
the troubles and headache. . .might be too much.
Re: Life As A Celebrity: Good Or Bad? by star01(m): 3:28am On Apr 09, 2007

   but i would rather be a celebrity n face the consequences rather than being an average man
