Being famous isn’t always as great as its made out to be; it also comes with a variety of effects. Some examples of famous people who may be dealing with these effects are Rappers, Professional Athletes, and Talk Show Host. Famous people are always being harassed and bothered; whether it is by a fan or paparazzi, they never get a break. It is rear to be a celebrity and stay under the map; the radar is always on and its focused on them.
The effects of being a famous actor are loss of privacy, schedule issues, and demeanor.
To begin with, one of the main effects of being a famous actor is privacy. At no point in time are actors honestly every alone. Everywhere they go and everything they do is always watched closely. For example, fans and paparazzi are always harassing famous celebrity’s. How much can an actor do with paparazzi trying to take pictures of every move they make? Along with the paparazzi you also have stalkers who play a big role in the loss of privacy celebrities lose. Stalkers are everywhere you expect them not to be; they pop up instantly almost like a virus and start attacking you mentally and even sometimes even physically.

    The celebrity culture that is idolized today was in actuality a ploy used to attract an audience following. Stars were created, not born. The Studio System comprised of The Big Five (MGM, Paramount, Warner Brothers, RKO and Fox), who are credited for creating some of the most legendary stars of the time, thus leading to the term ‘star system’. Studios invested a great deal of time and money into grooming and publicizing an actor, and owning him in the process, simply by signing him to a contract. When an actor had inscribed his name on the formidable piece of paper, he had no future of his own. Depending on his talent and the response his image got from the audience, he was either crucial or dispensable to the Studio he had been employed by.…

    If you are lucky enough to actually see or meet this person in real life, your image of them has already been conceived and you begin to feel like they know the celebrity on a personal level. Connecting to the fact that society judges people on their appearances, when we see celebrities in ordinary settings, they stick out among the rest. Although the celebrity is a total stranger and no different from the other people, our imagination of them is retained from all the previous exposure of them from other impersonal sources. The lives of celebrities soon become another form of entertainment for the mass and the idea that we are invading the personal space of these people becomes nonexistent. These celebrities soon become characters in a story and not real…

    Celebrities can’t walk a block down the street without being recognized or tracked by the paparazzi. And most celebrities, if you ask them, will admit that they can’t stand it, but there’s nothing that they can do about it. Their every move is being photographed so they don’t have much say in what gets said about them in tabloids. Their image depends on what the press decides to publish about them. But I believe that they have some control over their perception because they can control what they do, say, and post on social media.…

    The movie industry greatly influenced society during the 20th century, and continues to do so today. When Americans watched motion pictures back in the early part of the 20th century, they saw a very line between an actor’s character and an actor’s true self. Audiences were captivated by the lives of the rich and famous, as many Americans are today, and the celebrity’s lifestyle was revered and changed the way…

    The majority of entertainers suffer from different types of pressure that ordinary people cannot bear. Thus a high salary should be paid to compensate for the stress. Firstly, for example, action movie actors are forced to perform extreme activities, which may injure them to attract a large audience. Secondly, the media tends to report many details of celebrities’ lives to increase their circulations. It seems that every second of a star’s daily lives is under scrutiny from hundreds of cameras and this influences his or her life significantly. Thus many celebrities’ privacy is violated by the mass media. Thirdly, sports stars dedicate hours of practice to developing their fitness and skill before they become famous. The public only sees their grand moments.…

    One of the reasons there is such a fascination with celebrities is probably due to the fact that they have what we wish we had. They have the fame the money and the respect. It is entertaining to see them waste this or take full advantage of the power they have. It is also is seen as a kind of invasion of the privacy. People cherish there privacy but there is also a type of allure due to the fact that it so private. Because many celebrities don’t like the added attention it draws in people to investigate more. One big way for the general population to keep up with celebrities is kind of a old method is through the poparazzi and magazines. They harass celebrities just to try and get that one shot that would push them over the top. They follow them around while they are shopping, exercising, or even haven dinner with there family.

They ask them very personal and disrespectful questions. This way of getting the story is not the only way there are many different ways, this is just the most famous.…

    First of all, I would like to say that when a person becomes famous, he or she does not have much freedom. Normally, a celebrity is being managed by an agent. Celebrities have to follow what the agent has arranged for them. They have to obey the rule and regulation fixed by the agent. For example, they are not allowed to be in love. In order to avoid criticism, they must also follow by strict diet. This will ensure them look good at all times and never lose control under any circumstances.…

    Is Fame Good Or Bad?

    Phenomenom of fame is widespread around the world. Being famous today is not the same as it was 50-100 years ago. Andy Warhol once said : In the future everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. Well, in my opinion, that time has come. People from all around the world are trying to get their way out there on the stage. It has become easy to acquire fame, but difficult to keep it. People get famous for doing nothing and the ones who want to become famous don't have many obstacles on their way. They can just apply on a reality show and soon their names will be on the tops of „the most searched“ lists on Google and Yahoo, and not to mention the yellow press. Little girls and boys from all around the world are, when asked what do they want to be when they grow up, usually answering that they want to be famous. Fame has lost its value. Celebrities with or without justified reasons to be famous are followed by a bunch of paparazzi each day. They are getting interviewed and photographed for worthless magazines intended for masses. Their private lives become a matter of abstraction and are endangered. As for those whose fame is a result of hard work, talent, high IQ or great achievements, their fame is well-earned. Such are, for example, great writers, mathematicians and artists. They are usually the ones who are, no matter how good they are at what they do, less famous than the ones who deserve it less. That is good because they don't need to sacrifice their private lives, they have their freedom of expression + they make a lot of money.…
