What do you think the pros and cons are to being a celebrity? If you were given a chance, would you become a celebrity?

Not a chance! So you have money, big deal. The only way you get to enjoy it is by having a huge house with everything you want inside it. You can't go outside without being bombarded with people and papparazzi wanting to take pictures and sign autographs. You're constantly being watched. Everything you do is criticized! But I think a prerequisite for being a celebrity is being stupid. They go hand in hand. I don't think there is anything positive about it. They are just "normal" people doing a job like everyone else in the world. They just pile on a ton of makeup to make them look decent for the camera. Take all the makeup off and they're just average.

The cons are: paparazzi stalking, people stalking, busy schedules, interviewing, people making fun of you constantly The pros are: making a lot of money, well-known, get into clubs easily, retire soon I probably would rather not become a celebrity. I 'd rather be rich without the fame.

Growing up I always wanted to be a famous singer. The thing is I now realise that I dont want that any more mainly because I dont want everylittle thing I do to be in the papers. Celebreties have to always be carefull of things they do and if they make 1 small mistake the press makes it bigger than it really is and that is not right. Right now I am not for it at all. I am happy with my meager humble life style. The only thing I would like to have the money celebrities manke.

The money is good, it's nice to be popular to a certain extent. Can't live a normal life due to all of the popularity.

That's what I wonder about.. so you might have vast amounts of money, but what's the point in having it if ypu can't go enjoy the normal things you used to like doing before you became a celebrity?
