Absolutely not. I'm not even famous and some ass licker changed my myspace URL. Imagine if *everyone* knew who I am. You know how many more asslickers would try to mess up my life and murder all my famous websites about me? I wouldn't want to be a Paris Hilton and have my cell number hacked or my personal porn stash distributed, or Brit Spears and be followed by the Papanazzi until I blow up in a raging fit of umbrella attacks.

Being famous is just an illusion we all feel like achieving at some point in our lives because it's a way to be remembered or more permanently embedded in history, and thus live on, after we die.

No, I wouldn't want to be famous.. Maybe in a very very small circle of people, but I don't want everyone to know about everything in my life. And I don't mind not being very rich, I'm ok as long as I can get along and of course buy something cool every now and then.

I'd very much like to be famous (and rich). The paparazzi wouldn't be much of a problem either. Since I wouldn't care, pictures/stories of me would be in abundance, hence lowering the value of such materials, hence them leaving me alone for the most part. You never see rockstars create a big fuss when they do drugs and whatnot. It's because they don't care, so neither does the media.

Originally posted by Frenchie I wouldn't mind if it was fame associated with inventing something new, or actually accomplishing something in life that no one else has, but as far as being famous like an actually celebrity...no thanks. I like being the simple small town girl, dumped in a big city.

My thoughts exactly.

Even the girl part.

That's another thing that bugs me. Happiness is always relative. Ours is a society where success is making money and acquiring material goods. If you're so rich you can have whatever you want, then you no longer have serious objectives, and you no longer have barriers to surpass. I think having about a million dollars would be perfect for me. You just invest it and the monthly interest gives you the equivalent of a good paying job. You get a good place to stay, you're ensured to have all your essential needs (shelter, food), you've got enough for a couple of yearly getaways, but not enough for crazy mansions, designer cars or anything extravagant. It means you'll have the freedom to have any occupation you want regardless of how much it pays. You get to set your own objectives outside of the boundaries that society usually imposes.

Yeah, something like that.

Although I wouldn't mind being rich and famous the way Bill Gates is famous, for example.
Everyone knows who he is, but he's not hunted by paparazzis wherever he goes and whatever he does.

No, but he gets pies thrown at his face.

I'd rather be famous than righteous or holy anyday.
