Being a celebrity

Nowadays people are interested on the life of celebrities more than any other time, people want to know everything about celebrities- such as movie stars or famous sports celebrities.

It is widely believed that famous people have a wonderful life with no worries or problems. But is being famous so easy? The greatest advantage of being famous is that celebrities are usually very rich so they have easier lives than other people. They live in beautiful houses maintained by housekeepers, gardeners, cooks and other servants. They do not have to worry about paying bills, can afford the best clothes and drive the latest models of fast cars. What is more, they spend their holidays in expensive resorts, get the best hotel rooms and the most efficient service. Moreover, when you are famous, your name is known by everyone. Then, you are invited to the best parties and meet other celebrities. Your fans send you letters to tell you how much they admire you. Most people dream about being famous. They want to be admired and loved by fans. The media show rich and fashionable stars and it is believed that their lives are full of happiness and pleasure. Celebrities have everything that they want. Therefore they do not have to worry about the future. If they want to meet another ‘star', it is not so hard. Around-the-world trip? It is not a problem, either. What is more, there are a lot of ‘stars' who use their glory to help people. Your reach to influence people is wider. You get freebies just for being famous, such as sponsors going to you, or people that are fans of yours. In relation to influence, your words may weigh heavier than any other person less famous. Thus, you get the advantage of saying your views about the world. And suggesting your own changes. Altough it seems to be true, there are also some major drawbacks. The more they get and succeed the more they are expected by their fans to achieve. This is an immense stress for them. The state of constant stress pushes many of them in alcoholism, drug-addiction and depression. To conclude I think that everybody likes to be in the public eye. It's nice when you can be an authority...
