    Does anyone think about being famous constantly in the back of the head? Thoughts of about celebrities, making music videos, red carpet, everything with fame?

    ..Not really no. Well, not in that sense.

    When I'm daydreaming of course I'll think about my life dreams and ambitions (the fame I want to attain is different to the hollywood crap) but it isn't something which plagues my mind, and I definitely DO NOT want to always hear about celebs getting into trouble.

    X_X Gordon Ramsay called one of our current affair show hosts down here a lesbian pig (not in those words of course) and EVERYONE kept freaking talking about it!! Even our god damned f**king PRIME MINISTER had to comment on it.
    RUN THE FREAKING COUNTRY! WE DON'T CARE ABOUT WASHED UP CELEBRITIES MAKING FUN OF SOME OF THE MOST DISRESPECTED PEOPLE IN THE AUSTRALIAN TV INDUSTRY!

    FAME! DOIN IT FOR THE FAME!
    Okay. I'm done with that. But on a more serious note, I think that people want to be famous, and get close to it by following the minuscule details of the rich and famous.

    I can't help myself, I addicted to a life of material. It's some kind of joke, I'm obsessively opposed to the typical. All I care about is runway models, Cadillacs and liquor bottles. Give me something I wanna see: retro glamour, Hollywood, guess I live for the fame.

    I can see myself in the movies with my picture in city lights. Photograph my mind and whatever else you'd like to shoot, you decide :wink: All I care about is pornographic girls on film and body plastic. Give me something I wanna see: Television, hot blondes in odd positions

    Don't ask me how or why, cos I'm gunna make it happen tonight. My teenage dreams tonight, yeah I'm gunna make it this time.

    *cough* I know that Cooper started that, but I had to finish it :grin:

    Well, I like to imagine the film clips I could direct if I were a famous music clip director, but I highly doubt I'll ever make it. I also dream about the luxurious houses I will have and how I will decorate them. This is a much more achievable dream, so I reckon I will probably get there :grin:

    So no, no red carpet, head shaving, shotgun weddings with skeezy trailer park hos with their vajayjays hanging out for me, thankyou very much

    .....Although, if I was to get cast as Mark on Broadway in the RENT revival that I direct, well I would not say no to that :grin:

    Fame, doin' it for the fame
    'cause we wanna live the life
    Of the rich and famous
    Fame, doin' it for the fame
    'cause we gotta taste for champagne
    And endless fortune

    ...to be honest, when i listen to music i always get that feeling. If its a musical soundtrack i can feel myself center stage on Broadway. If its pop musical i feel alot like the lyrics i just pasted. I dont normally feel this way, but music just creeps inside me and gives me hunger for fame :O

    Not fame as in red carpets.

    I'd rather be well known as an authour of decent teen lit.

    Fame! I'm gonna live forever
    I'm gonna learn how to fly (high!)
    I feel it comin' together
    People will see me and cry...
    Fame!
    I'm gonna make it to heaven
    Light up the sky like a flame
    Fame! I'm gonna live forever
    Baby, remember my name
    Remember, remember...


    ...can't believe they're remaking that. But in this day and age of High School Musical, it totally makes sense.

    There have been times I was interested in fame. But careful what you wish for. Because I got it. Kinda sorta. It's a really really low level of fame (think of, say, the local weatherman on your local news), but I do have people whom I've never met coming up to me and saying "Hey, are you Lex?" And you know what? I hate it. I really do. I don't like starting a "relationship" with somebody knowing stuff about me when I don't know anything about them. It's damned weird, and makes me uncomfortable. But since they don't realize that, I just smile and say thanks, and I'm glad they like my work, etc etc.

    I have friends who are more famous than I am. Some MUCH more famous. As in red carpet, magazine cover, seen-last-night famous. And they mainly just tolerate it. It's not really what they wanted. It's a side effect of doing what they do. Luckily, they can still (mostly) live normal lives. I've run into them at random places like restaurants and shops here in town. And they occasionally do get autograph seekers or people staring or squealy girls, which they're OK with. (What do they hate? The run-up-scream-take-a-photo-and-run-away ones.) But I can't imagine it getting to that level. I'd hate my life then. :slight_smile:

    Fame, fame baby the Fame Fame

    In it for the Fame, Fame, baby the Fame, Fame

    Isn't it a shame, shame, baby a shame, shame?

    In it for the Fame, Fame baby the Fame, Fame.

    ...

    anyway-Sometimes I daydream when certain music comes on, that I'm in
    a music video, or I'll think about meeting famous people or something but
    tbh I'm GLAD I'm not famous, those people have so much shit to deal with.
    I like Lady Gaga's version of fame "Fame isn't when everyone knows who
    you are, it's when no one does but everybody wants to". Basically you can have
    your own Fame without being actually famous. I like it.

    When I first saw this thread title, I thought it was about the movie/song. lol

    I'd rather be famous for work behind the camera than in front of it.
