It is obvious celebrities carry out social responsibilities solely to gain publicity

I don't know if it's completely true or not, but I found this website -\n\nhttp://www.askmen.com/toys/entertainment_100/149_gossip.htm\n\nCheck it out! It's so hard to tell with celebrities unless they come right out and admit it.

I agree with what youre saying. The only reason Paris is famous is because shes rich, and she is in ownership with the Hiltons hotel. Not to mention that she hangs around alot of celebs. I dont get why they make a big deal out of her either. She has done nothing to give back to the community, and she isnt a good role model either. How can you be a good role model when you go out almost every night and party and get drunk, not to mention having a sex video out for grabs. Its funny too because she, herself, considers her to be a great role model and actress.

Can't say that I am ENVIOUS of any celebrity...however, I am impressed with those that make it big, don't get a big head because of it, use their celebrity status to make a difference in this world and at the same time remain true to themselves...

Obviously, many celebrities have forgotten the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."\n\nAnd the fact that it's the fans who put them where they are today. "Thou shalt not tick off thy fans. For they are thy bread and butter."

Celebs. should stay out of politics and stick to what they know.  How to deceive people

It is VERY wrong but that is what is important in the society we live in. Many people could care less about what's going on with our country, government, communities, etc., things they could contribute to and actually change. Instead they worship these celebs and follow every move that they make. All the while these celebrities are living it up and not caring about the fans who put them in the situations they are in. Some people can name all the celebrities who've had children and are pregnant now, but if you would ask them a relevant question, like who is running for governor in their state, they would have no clue. It's really sad!!

I have to ask, who, in the world that is 'celebrity', do you think is of a higher social standing. Most of them are complete no-bodies, junkies alkies adulterers, the z-listers who reduce our news papers to gutter rags. They probably dont bother wiping their butts, there no better than us, infact, probably a damn site worse. A bit like the royal family.

Wow...ummm, how does this affect my life?  There are so many other things I could do with my time than worry about what a bunch of egotistical, attention craving "celebrities" say or do to one another.  Who cares?

I was actually planning to answer this question on behalf of the people who do that sort of thing, but since you specified the "You, yes YOU" part, I'll answer on my own behalf.\n\nI don't do that.  On the contrary, I'm striving hard to become famous so that I can hide behind my own celebrity and use that as an excuse for why I'm so rude and aloof, and why I think I'm better than everyone else.  I don't think I should have to lower myself by talking to losers or remembering who other people are, but expect other people to remember me by sight and desire to be with me.  I'm someday hoping that people will use my life to live vicariously, so that they can feel better about themselves by focusing their interests on my life instead of on their own pathetic little lives.  And while I wouldn't blame them for that, I would certainly strive to deny them the pleasure; thus enhancing the celebrity experience for both them and myself.\n\nNeedless to say, I am not afraid to be myself.  I'm an original.  Now, all I have to do is become famous.  And for me, that's the easy part.

Sure they do.  There is a difference between a "screen" personality and one's private life. One is for the camera & publicity--because it elicits interest.  That doesn't mean that actors really live like their "screen images".

No, I think it's a good thing.  Sure they might get paid for it, sure they could donate the money themselves, but it also draws the attention of everyone else to make donations too.  More people are likely to donate to X charity because X celebrity, who they like, did it.  It also brings more awareness to some of the smaller charities that don't get much spotlight or notice.

Some just get free items from company.  Possilby "health" food, or pills, etc.\n\nUnless it is a famous person doing a sponsorship, it is not much.

to some degree, like with a family tragedy,then they should have privacy but overall if they didn't have exposure, they wouldn't have the fans, money and lifestyle they have got. people want to be famous cos they want "adoring" fans, they got into the job they did for a reason. i don't feel sorry for them at all, you get what you ask for in my opinion.

Not everyone does. Those who give in to all the stories and lives of the Celebrities are usually younger people (tweens and teens) and those who attach themselves to fantasy rather than the reality of their own lives.

The media is critical to a free and open society.  Celebrities dislike the inconvenience and say they crave privacy, but yet they hire publicists and make money off their fame, so they must know that without the paparazzi they would be nothing.

The celebs you hear about are the ones at the top of the pyramid of fame, people that other people want to hear about.  So the media is just waiting for a mistake.  Plus, these celebs are pampered and babied, and they do not, or have lost common sense.  They have publicist and managers take care of their problems and needs.  They lose a sense of what is "real", and just think they are invincible and more important than the rest of us 9-to-5ers.
