Guest r3nz0 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 ... to become a big-time celebrity (think Britney Spears as a comparable) overnight for the rest of your life, would you trade in all that money for your unequivocal privacy as a human being?Money is awesome. No one is disputing that. But is it all that matters when you can't even walk your dog in peace, play with your kids outside or take a swim without being photographed and/or filmed? Does the "prisoner of your own fame" saying ring true or is it just a bunch of crap that celebrities made up for us to be sympathetic toward them?I'm eager to see what you all think.

Guest lyrik Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Give me that kind of money....no 2nd thoughts. You can buy all the privacy you need.....and even if you can't....fuck it....I'M REECH BEOTCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest trancelator Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 I'd take the fame and the money and whenever the papparazzi pissed me off, I would pull the biggest gags on them I'd have them guessing what is real and what's not just for my own entertainment. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest demo909 Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Yes money can buy you privacy. It would be nice to be that wealthy and not have to worry about a single bill or all the normal trival shit that we lay-persons go through everyday 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swirlundergrounder Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 The little fame would be OK and a little wealth would be alright also. But I do value my privacy and I would probably be throwing stones at the Paparazzi if they followed me around and flew over my house in a helicopter just to get a photo of me changing my socks or some BS like that.... If I was a famous actor I would like to be like Ed Norton. He's got fame and fortune but he doesn't have the cameras on him like they do on someone like Ben Affleck or Brad Pitt...... A little recognition is nice especially if it's for you accomlishments and natural talents... If I had the wealth I would use enough of it to make me and my family live comfortably and give some money to some close friends so that they could achieve some of their goals and I would seriously donate a bunch of it to certain charities like animal rights and enviormental protection groups. But screw the Paparazzi. I hate having my picture taken when I know it's being taken enough as it is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But screw the Paparazzi. I hate having my picture taken when I know it's being taken enough as it is.... I am with ya on the charities thing..especillay animal rights....but the funny thing about the environmental charities is that their facts are grossly mis-stated and actually we have more forests now and actually more trees that have been planted in the last 20 years than there has been in the last 500 hundred years preceeding. I just watched a documentary on this and the people that did it actually brought these figures to these protection agenices and they were just speechless....basically all they could muster is that if they didn't say what said they would never get donations. :Don't get me wrong...its not that I agree with any abuse of our environment...I just think sometimes these things can get over-dramatic....in geology they teach that the earth has a way of balancing these things out...I would be most worried about all the nukes laying at the bottom of the oceans ready to erode and burst.

Guest LeVeL Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 I rather be a big time celebrity with the fame and the money...shoot all my good friends and families would be set for life and if they had any problems I would be the problem solver. If I would date someone or marry anyone it would definetely not be another celebrity because then you will be fucked the paparazzi will be on your ass then.Just imagine a whole bunch of Pods chasing your every move, saying that you didn't want to give an autograph to a kid and saying that you took a piss on a public street after coming out of the nightclub. That would be horrible every story would be in the front page of the Enquirer and all these celebrity magazines all due to all these Pod's chasing your every move like shadows in the dark.

Guest LeVeL Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Yeah thats true Interview Junkie....the press will dig out all the dirt byt interviewing your ex-girlfriends from the past and have them say bad things like for example....he is a minute man, hes a cheap bastard who never payed for the restaurant bill when we went on a date. ect all the bad things that come to mind.

Guest pod Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Being a celebrity, you lose a certain expectation of privacy when in public. That has been established by law. What the stalkerazzi do is contemptible, as well as cheesy. As a matter of fact, paparazzi is Italian for mosquito. However, many celebrities do things that will invariably get the attention of the 'razzis and then bitch about it later. Unfortunately, the 'razzis are here to stay, so there's not much you can do about it aside from behaving in public. That being said, I have no shame so I would not care about the stalkerazzi as long as I kept on being rich, beeyotch. In addition I would still carry my 10D and shoot right back. I wouldn't be celebrity scum though. I'd still hang at the places I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 They can sue for invasion of privacy if you shoot them on their own property...i.e. if you're hiding in a tree and shoot a photo of Anna Kournikova frolicking in her pool with Christina Aguilera. In public, they are fair game. It's contemptible, yes, but they are fair game if you get a shot of them walking down Collins Avenue. As a celebrity, it has been established that you lose your anonymity when you are in public, and that there is not much you can do about it. You are a celebrity after all. If you wanted the money and the privacy, you should choose a different career path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest coach Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 If all I'd have to do is have my picture plastered all over magazines to make a zillion dollars, I would do it in an instant. Who the fuck cares if people see your picture. If you don't do anything stupid, then so what? I mean, there are TONS of rich people who do not get their image plastered all over the place. I mean, how many times do you see a pic of Steve Jobs on the Star with the headline "Jobs' Messy Breakup!!!"? Not that they aren't a bother, but still, I think the money would be worth it.
