Effects of fame on celebrities

The fame of celebrities always plays an important role in society. The Media gives a big part of their resources to celebrities. Society is very interested in star’s life. They buy “gossip” magazines and avidly read news about them. Have you ever thought about effects of fame on celebrities? There are three effects: lack of freedom, scandals and gossip and impact on children of celebrities.
First, celebrities cannot feel free and relaxed in public places. They are always under close scrutiny wherever they go because paparazzi are waiting for them in stores, cafes and restaurants, on the street and even near their home. They always go at their heels. If a celebrity goes out dressed simply and without make up, their photos will be in the newspaper the next day. They have to look well every day and everywhere. Otherwise people will look at their photos and discuss each part of their body and style. Celebrities use a good way to be unrecognizable wearing glasses and caps. These things do not make your life easy.
Second, scandals and gossip are the most important part on fame. These are the best way to remind about celebrities and support their status.

    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.…

    Celebrities are the role models of many, especially younger aged people. They are idolized and copied. Their actions have some of the biggest influences on our generation, mostly because of the hype created by the media. Their actions are constantly being talked about in the media, and to society's growing youth, this has caused a great problem. They do outrageous things and are often involved in scandals. Their lifestyles themselves are often one big scandal. They are thought of as god-like, so what they do must not be wrong. They are famous, so they are always right; they have to be. This is the perception of American citizens. They think it is okay to imitate celebrities from what they wear to the lives they live, because they are of higher class. They are the role models, even though they are corrupting the morals of people. Especially now with programs such as MTV, celebrities are being exposed everyday, and these innocent children and teens are being forced images and guidelines to follow in order to be like their favorite celebrity. This is a danger to society. It changes and corrupts everyone's morals.…

    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.…

    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.…
