Have any celebrities helped you in life?

While I'm not a fan of her music, I think I really underestimated her as a person because I do think that she really does care for her fans and she's highly intelligent academically and I praise her for that. I'm glad that she has helped you deal things in life.

 

Kesha is cool. Celebrities which have 'helped' me are:
- Avril Lavigne
- Yohio
- Many band members
- Kesha sort of

^.^

 

No celebrity has helped me.. I prefer direct support from people honestly, but I understand that one can be helped by a celebrity.

 

Not directly as I don't know any "celebrities" as such and therefore I can't really make a judgement on how they are or how they act or their frame of mind for that matter.

There are certain bands and musicians whose music has helped me quite a bit. The band My Bloody Valentine's (NEVER to be confused with Bullet for My Valentine! ) music has helped me through life as it offers me an escape into a world of awesome guitar sounds so I wouldn't say it's the celebrity more the fruits of their labour that have helped me.

I hope some of that made sense

 

No, never.

 

Lady Sovereign (although her career is over now, the way she came out was very brave, apparently there's no room for gay people in grime, kind of made me hate the genre.) She was my inspiration for coming out.
Michael Jackson. I don't think he liked gay people, but he's the reason why I dance, and I just think he is an amazing person.
Janet Jackson. She, too, set the precedent. She loved gay people and she's just an amazing musician.

 

If by celebrity you could refer to musicians or writers, and by a way of helping is through their work when you have an awful time of your life and that song or novel help you through that dark time in your life, yes, many music and novels have helped me.

 

As a British person, I'm going to have to throw in the great Stephen Fry. He's one of my biggest inspirations because he has overcome the struggles of homosexuality in society as well as coping with bipolar. Such a smart, amazing man who deserves his national treasure status and made me feel for the first time that I'm a normal member of society and shouldn't look down on myself because of who I am.

 

No.

 

Directly? Nope.

Indirectly? I suppose any of their coming out helps a little bit. But it's a relatively small contribution.

 

Wouldn't count him as a celeb, but the drummer from "It Lives, It Breathes" (Adam) was extremely supportive of me when i was going through a bad patch and he talked me away from suicidal thoughts! So thank you Adam

 

nope, not really.

 

Lee Joon from MBLAQ. He just helped me be myself, and we're so similar (in terms of personality). We're both being called stupid, we're both fighting the same illness and we're both freaking FABULOUS!

No, but seriously. He's a sweetheart and he puts a smile on my face whenever I need it and no one's here to lend me theirs.

 

Michael Jackson, Nirvana (band), Eminem, Joan Jett.. there are many more. Basically, music saved my life.

Apart from music. Johnny Depp, Charlie Chaplin, Tim Burton..

I love to read biography books, I like to see what other person sees... I adore it.

Soo.. yes, many celebrities helped and changed my life forever.

 

I've had epiphanies relating to my own life and emotions while listening to a few artists, but I would rather claim that they were my own achievements instead because they are my interpretations after all.

Particularly, Fiona Apple's "this world is bullshit" speech was overwhelming. I'm sad I missed it the first time, but, wow. There's this line in one of her songs: "Be kind to me / or treat me mean / I'll make the most of it I'm an extraordinary machine //" It really helped me realise that it shouldn't matter to me how others treat me, it's what I make of that treatment that counts.

Apple later recycled the sentiment into a much more eloquent form: "Say I'm an airplane / And the gashes I got from my heartbreak / Make the slots and the flaps upon my wing / And I use them to give me a lift // Hip hip / for the lift / Hip Hip / for the drag / I want them all in my bag / Oh give me anything / And I'll turn it into a gift //" It really helped me with an emotional (rather, emotionally voided) break-up.

I'm pressed to come up with anyone else.

 

Not much.

 

There used to be Starts out there.
Nowadays we have celebrites.
Answer is no, naturally...

 

Michael Jackson. I can't even begin to explain to you how much his music helped me during a really bad time in my life.
