fame and fortune

      Is it easy to become famous? With the use of technology it is becoming easier for people to become famous, or to become noticed in the media. However all though becoming famous is simple, it is easy to lose yourself in the midst of the “red carpet scene”. People who become famous must know that they are entering an entirely different world, full of fame, fortune, artificial people, and also corruptness.
      Decades ago it would take only the most talented, and elite to become accepted into the celebrity scene, and become admired as an icon. However, now technology has exposed that anyone can become famous. Several people of any age have the ability to upload videos of them demonstrating their talent, such as singing, dancing, or performing a skit onto the computer. The most popular site to upload videos is YouTube. People also have the option to sign themselves up to appear on a reality television show such as “ American Idol”, “Dances with the Stars”, “Real World” and more. Also people can appear on talk shows such as “Tyra”, “Maury”, “Jerry Springer” and more. Appearing on either a talk show or even a reality television show, will sometimes lead someone to minor fame and fortune, and they may not become a famous celebrity but they will become well known.
      With fame and fortune, a person’s life can change drastically. When people become famous they sometimes fail to realize that they are trading a reasonable and comfortable life, for a hectic and public life. Celebrities have all the money in the world, but have no privacy. Celebrities also, are desired by their opposite sex consistently, but always seem to have the hardest time finding someone to truly share their fame and fortune with. Life becomes harder when you live in front of millions of people, who are watching your every move. Also when one becomes a celebrities he or she must take on several responsibilities, they have to understand how to manage their money to prevent themselves from going bankrupt, and they must understand what to say, and what not to say to the media. It is not that hard to become famous, but to stay famous, and have the mental stability to understand how to control your fame, while staying humble and true to yourself is not easy.
