Price for Fame
Many people dream of fame and popularity, they are often jealous of celebrities whose pictures appear on the covers of magazines and newspapers. However they do not realize that famous people who are always in the public eye do not have easy lives. There is a price to pay for fame.

First of all, I would like to say that when a person becomes famous, he or she does not have much freedom. Normally, a celebrity is being managed by an agent. Celebrities have to follow what the agent has arranged for them. They have to obey the rule and regulation fixed by the agent. For example, they are not allowed to be in love. In order to avoid criticism, they must also follow by strict diet. This will ensure them look good at all times and never lose control under any circumstances.
Moreover, for most celebrities, travelling must be done in disguise, but even like that, they are often recognized. There is always someone trying to take pictures or get an autograph in anytime at anywhere. The trip may be interrupted and they cannot enjoy the travelling fully.
Celebrities are no longer private individuals and cannot do many things that normal people do, like having lunch in Mamak store, outing with family or go to a football match without causing a sensation. Even casual walk in the mall with friends is also in the public eye. Freedom will be the thing that celebrities yearned and hoped the most since they had lost it after become popular.

In conclusion, we think that the price for fame is too high. It is better to have an ordinary and calm life rather than a stressful public one.

    Celebrities can’t walk a block down the street without being recognized or tracked by the paparazzi. And most celebrities, if you ask them, will admit that they can’t stand it, but there’s nothing that they can do about it. Their every move is being photographed so they don’t have much say in what gets said about them in tabloids. Their image depends on what the press decides to publish about them. But I believe that they have some control over their perception because they can control what they do, say, and post on social media.…

    How many “celebrities” are famous for being rich or pretty? More than there should be. For example: the Kardashians—what talents do they have besides leeching off their step-daddy’s money or leaking their own nudes? With their millions of social media followers and millions of dollars, it’s hard to see a flaw in their life when they can pay three-thousand dollars to surgically remove a pimple. “Having a sizeable nest egg can keep people from becoming lonely and sad,” says Mary Beckman, author of “When Money Matters”. In the case of the rich and famous, this is…

    “Everyone will have his fifteen minutes of fame,” says Andy Warhol. As today, the definition of the word “celebrity” is no longer associates with the original meaning form the dictionary. Daniel Boors tin, the author of the “Or, What Happened to the American Dream,” restates the definition of the “celebrity” in his book which is “celebrity is a person who is well known for his well-knowingness.” No a doubt, benefited by the modern high-tech media of the celebrities-watching culture has become the national wide or even global wide culture in our small global village.

    On June 25th, 2009, the world was thrown into a shocking standstill when hearing about the death of the famous King of Pop, Michael Jackson; who suffered from depression, anxiety and was ultimately killed by Cardiac arrest. Later we would witness the passing of many stars including Whitney Houston (2012), Prince (2016), and our dear Robin Williams (2014); driving us into what the Washington Post calls a “now all-too-familiar process: mourn[ing] the loss on social media, downloading music and re-watching old movie.” While we may honor their names, we tend to find reasons why these instances even came to pass; blaming their deaths on drugs, anxiety, and fame. Today, the words Popular and Fame are looked at cynically and with scorn. Many Parents and Advisors have strongly discouraged our youth from viewing success within Hollywood or celebrity lifestyles, especially if those with standards and restrictions in their religion. However, I believe that as a society it is wrong for us to predestine a career as unsuccessful or label an individual negatively based on their environment. When we are apart of such…

    Is Fame Good Or Bad?

    Phenomenom of fame is widespread around the world. Being famous today is not the same as it was 50-100 years ago. Andy Warhol once said : In the future everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. Well, in my opinion, that time has come. People from all around the world are trying to get their way out there on the stage. It has become easy to acquire fame, but difficult to keep it. People get famous for doing nothing and the ones who want to become famous don't have many obstacles on their way. They can just apply on a reality show and soon their names will be on the tops of „the most searched“ lists on Google and Yahoo, and not to mention the yellow press. Little girls and boys from all around the world are, when asked what do they want to be when they grow up, usually answering that they want to be famous. Fame has lost its value. Celebrities with or without justified reasons to be famous are followed by a bunch of paparazzi each day. They are getting interviewed and photographed for worthless magazines intended for masses. Their private lives become a matter of abstraction and are endangered. As for those whose fame is a result of hard work, talent, high IQ or great achievements, their fame is well-earned. Such are, for example, great writers, mathematicians and artists. They are usually the ones who are, no matter how good they are at what they do, less famous than the ones who deserve it less. That is good because they don't need to sacrifice their private lives, they have their freedom of expression + they make a lot of money.…
