If you were famous could u handle the publicity?

I have a hard enough time dealing with the local popularity that wearing a kilt has gotten me. I could never handle actual fame.

 

I would not mind being rich, I think I could do that pretty well actually. But I am a very behind the scenes kind of person, I don't like being in the spotlight, and I certainly wouldnt want my privacy stripped from me. So yeah, I would HATE the fame part, and probably wouldnt pursue any type of career that brought that kind of attention to me.

 

I would LOVE to be famous honestly. But only for good reasons.. I wouldn't like it much if there were a lot of rumors about me.

 

I think that I could handle the publicity if I become famous but I don't want to be famous. The paparazzi and gossip would irritate me. I like my privacy too much. I wouldn't mind being rich though

 

I'd rather be rich but not famous. There is no way in hell I could handle having my personal life scrutinized by people who have no business doing so, and have to be held to an impossibly high standard for a human being. I absolutely do not agree with those who say that celebrities should have to deal with invasions of privacy, no matter how egregious or even dangerous they are. (Let's face it--if you're perfect in every way, there'd still be people who would hate you.)

 

I can barely handle my birthday when my friends have the restaurant staff sing happy birthday to me, let alone having the attention from people around the world if I were famous. However, I wouldn't mind a lot of money. :lol:

 

I'd like to be "famous" but not a celebrity. Like I would love to be some ground breaking scientist or astronaut, but some reality tv bimbo....the media deals with different positions a little differently.

 

I've had a hard enough time getting used to a ton of people on campus knowing who I am. The good thing is that I am out from hiding in the shadows. I just have to get used to people knowing who I am..

 

I don't need Fame, but i dont mind the rich '>->
"giggles cause his rich" xD

 

I'm exactly the same. I think growing up as a theatre tech kid (both my parents are/were career techies) has caused me, like you, to be much more comfortable behind the scenes.

I'm not private at all in terms of information I disclose about myself or my past, but am quite solitary in terms of behavior. Being the center of attention is intensely uncomfortable for me, even if it's something as simple as my parents singing Happy Birthday to me.

 

If?

 

I love attention, I'm not going to lie, but I couldn't take it in mass quantities like celebrities. I'd probably end up going Alec Baldwin on a couple of paparazzi if got to me that badly. Now, the money on the other hand, yeah.. I wouldn't refuse it. But I do not desire fame in one way or another, considering that I couldn't even be out in public without people taking pictures, or making trivial news reports just because I decided to buy ice cream at a shop.

 

i really dont give a flying :***: what people say as long as the people close to me know the truth then ill be fine i would really like to be a famous singer

 

The Jodie Foster/Kevin Spacey option of being intensely private about everything would probably work for me.

 

I doubt I'd like being famous. People would then see a facade of you that they create in their minds rather than the actual you. Add the paparazzi attention to that, and I'd go insane.

Rich, though? Where do I sign?

 

I'd do the George Clooney method - just take it!

whenever George is in TMZ or photogs get him, he usually says hello or just smiles.

Kim Kardashian, though, has to "hide" and "get away" (wink wink.)

I honestly believe that if you treat the paparazzi right and give them what they want, you will be ok. When you try and act like you really are the shit and they can't get you, it only adds fuel to the fire!

 

I'd have to be myself, but I'd like to think that I could take it. Oh and as long as I was famous for something good I wouldn't mind.
