Effects of Being Famous
The dream of every person who likes to sing or act is to be famous.To have a profesional career.To be in Holliwood,to sing or act ot the big scene,have films and so on.But no one realizes what he/she will loose if he is famous.Being watched all the time,being followed by papparazzi,being captured while you have breacfast or dinner.Is it worth it?The effects on ones intimate life because of his carreer as a famous singer or actor can be disastrous. The intimate life of one person is the most important for him/her.After becoming famous you loose your personal life.This is one of the biggest effects of career in the singing or acting branch.Many famous people prove this.For example the Jonas brothers.They had an interview for their fans and there they shared that their fans know more for them than they know about themselves.The fans know each and every steps of yours.They know where you eat,where you go ou,who you kissed,with who you talk.Most of the stars tell that this is not a real life."However, being recognized by everyone in the street can be annoying. Famous people have no privacy, paparazzi try to photograph them all the time, people stop them in the street, asking for an autograph" (anon-471041 2). The second bad thing about being famous is that you start to change.Famous people lose their friends,stop answering the phone,start to peacock.For example there is a man who assumed money and fame to change him."He used to be an ordinary guy until he became famous,after that he started ignoring their phone calls,he started to avoid his old friends whenever he met them.His personality has changed a lot after he became famous and after he made lots of money"(Radwan, MSc 1). One of the biggest problems of the stars is that they have to look perfect all the time.They have to wake up in the morning and be with perfect make up and hair.(this of course is mission impossible).So this can be the third huge problem of beeing famous.The stars are the

    The celebrity culture that is idolized today was in actuality a ploy used to attract an audience following. Stars were created, not born. The Studio System comprised of The Big Five (MGM, Paramount, Warner Brothers, RKO and Fox), who are credited for creating some of the most legendary stars of the time, thus leading to the term ‘star system’. Studios invested a great deal of time and money into grooming and publicizing an actor, and owning him in the process, simply by signing him to a contract. When an actor had inscribed his name on the formidable piece of paper, he had no future of his own. Depending on his talent and the response his image got from the audience, he was either crucial or dispensable to the Studio he had been employed by.…

    In the twenty-first century people are exposed to the media, whether it is the television, films, magazines or tabloid. Those individuals who are considered as celebrities plays an important role in people’s lives by acting as role models for those seeking guidance or advice, also influencing their body image perception with the impact of the neglected to fully appreciate the impacts that celebrities have on issues such as drug use, eating habits and cosmetic appearance. Consequently, many people possess a dream and imagine to become a principal or a famous in different subjects such as sport person, a television presenter or movie star. It is definitely not a bad dream, but I would argue that being a celebrity, whatever the field, brings…

    Megan Daum's Fame

    For example, a Nigerian celebrity Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju, also known as Bobrisky, he is famous for acting stupid and doing unnecessary things on social media. He was able to gather attention when he claimed he had a lover who is assumed to be masculine gender despite the Nigerian constitution at that point in time which made such same-sex relationships an offense punishable by serving 14 years in a penitentiary. He isn’t famous for the good that he has done but for the nonsense, he posts on his social media pages like Instagram and Snapchat. I can also relate this essay to Fame 101 because the author just like Daum talks about how people became famous due to the scandals that they have created. And, they both differentiated fame and fame-iness. In fame 101 the author states that “fame might be a misnomer as many people confuse it with celebrity, Barrack Obama has fame.” The author of fame 101 considers people who have impacted our society and people who have talent as famous people. Daum did the same thing in her essay, “unlike actual fame, which involves some talent and hard work, “fame-iness” requires little more than a willingness to humiliation…

    “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. American is only one example who are so obsessed by the celebrity-watching. When we are so enjoy the celebrity culture, the gossips from the TV,…

    Rich vs Poor

    Being famous does not necessary mean bring rich, and vice-versa. Both generally bring satisfaction if brought to one in a positive manner, or in a way he/she intended it to. Because being famous and being rich are both signs leading to success, which in most cases, is the human’s ultimate goal. Being just either rich or famous, other than being a positive thing, could produce highly negative and unwanted end results too. A huge percentage of people are famous as a result of all sorts of negativity, such as criminal acts and negative politics. At the same time, a good part of the world’s drug lords and terrorism-driven groups are fairly rich too. So when does being rich or famous become a good thing? Usually, a combination of being rich and famous, surprisingly, doesn’t do as much harm to coexisting peers, as the former would. Although criminals who fall under lists such as ‘FBI’s Most Wanted’, turn out to be rich and famous, regardless of how they got to where they are. But a bigger portion of the ‘rich and famous’ category are occupied by highly paid movie stars and sportsmen, neither of whom does much harm to the society.…

    Is Fame Good Or Bad?

    • 522 Words

    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.…

    When one famous they gain a lot of opportunities but , when one gain this fame some of their privacies and freedoms are taken away. A popular American Pop Star Justin Timberlake, said in an interview, “The worst thing about being famous is the invasion of one’s privacy.” The reason he said this is that when a person is famous one gets a lot of recognition and exposure which makes it hard for one to go out and hang out with friends, do the simple things that make you happy and do hobby or activities that you love to do. Predominantly, the reason for this is because when a famous person goes out that person is constantly being stopped and followed and asked for pictures and autographs. Depending on how famous one is and what they famous for you might not even have time for yourself, especially if you’re going to meetings and tours and things of that nature. A great example are childhood stars such as Michael Jackson. Michael often reminisced how, when he was younger. he wanted to go out and play with the other kids in the neighborhood, but he couldn’t because he had to go practice with his brothers. With that fame , many thought that his lack of a childhood forced him to make so questionable, childish decisions in his life.Therefore, being famous doesn’t always bring you privacy and freedom that makes one truly happy.…

    However fame does have its disadvantages. Firstly, people know what famous people are doing, how they live and aspects of their private lives, this is usually through newspapers and television. Stars do not have private lives. What is more, they still have to smile at the camera through the paparazzi. A more alarming fact to being famous is the fans themselves, while some have good interests at heart others are more unstable and psychotic with less positive intentions. As a result they must have a bodyguard, who has the job of being with the individual day and night wherever they might go.…
