Fame

Fame. The word is such a short word but creates so much controversy and greed for so many. Many chase it then run from it. I think that the most successful people who have found any amount of fame has been those who are not afraid to lose that fame and don't sell out for the next big thing or the latest trend. These types of people are few and far between in the industry of film and music. It is hard to watch when people like Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan go through the struggles of fame and have public meltdowns. Sometimes people become so famous that the public treats them as just a gateway into entertainment and don't realize that these artist are real people with feelings and emotions. Many will say that they bring this on themselves; while I believe on some level this may be true however I do not think that everything they are faced with is something that they create. Fame is a tricky thing. If ever I was famous I would handle my fame with care and ensure that my career followed the path that I choose. How about you? What is your take on fame and how would you handle it?
