That's not to mention the reality stars who actually pay to have cameramen following them around -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 10:03
yes....nm - x Sep 12, 09:58
ehh, that's a bullshit argument -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 09:58 18
- I disagree. It might be a coarse way of saying it, but with the spoils of success you can't just ignore the downside of fame. - musubi Sep 12, 10:02 16

    - Totally agreed. It's a 2-way street, Celebs still deserve privacy and respect, and do not give that up by being famous. - musubi Sep 12, 10:08
    - Right, there's a time and place for how you handle seeing a celebrity.... - Will Hunting Sep 12, 10:06 1

  - as long as people are snapping photos, means people are still interested in you. - groiny Sep 12, 10:04 1

  - If someone's in it for the fame, I can see this argument. I don't believe all famous people are in it for fame I guess. - ty97 Sep 12, 10:04 6
    - Musubi called it a "down side," not something that is strived for -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 10:10
    - I look at it this way, the fans are basically who are paying your salaries. You have to be grateful to them for letting you do what you do and live - pmb Sep 12, 10:08
    - No, I don't think that's right. Whether fame is the untimate goal or not, it's a reasonable by-product of success. - musubi Sep 12, 10:06 3
      - If that were true of success in all fields, I might buy it. -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 10:14 2

        If the field is intrinsically tied to face/name recognition for success, then it's absolutely valid. - musubi Sep 12, 10:18
  - the whole notion of celebrity hinges on the notion that someone else's life experiences are better and more valuable than your own. -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 10:04 2

      - At least I managed to avoid using "predicated". -- nm - znufrii Sep 12, 10:09
- no, it's not. - groiny Sep 12, 09:59
