Anyone else get jealous of celebrities?

i don't get what your opinion is, i don't moan and whinge, i just acknowledge the fact that yes, i would rather have as much freedom as they do, with a job i enjoyed.

i never said anything about how they shouldn't have a job they like? i don't get it..

OP, I don't think your mindset is particularly unhealthy, although you do perhaps show a lack of confidence in yourself. It's natural to admire others and I sometimes think, like you, "wow, wouldn't it be lovely to have enough money to go on a huge shopping spree, hop on a plane to the Maldives, or take a year off work to focus on my personal life" but then I also appreciate what I've got in comparison to other people. Sure, I'll always have to work damned hard and I might never get the opportunity to just drop everything and travel, like I've always wanted to, but at the same time I couldn't handle the stress of being followed by the press, being harshly criticised for a decision I've made or how I look, etc.

Can't I state my opinion? Who the **** are you to say I cannot? lol... I'm simply saying that people who are envious of celebrities are losers.

ok...

If you want to be like them, who's going to be like you?

The only thing that annoys me is that they're in a position where they can have such a big influence on things and people but all they seem to be doing is going to parties, getting drunk, giving crap boring interviews and being losers.
I'm not jelous of them at all but it just strikes that there are much more people more deserving of fame than them.

Don't get jealous at all, every single aspect of their lives are in the media. You'd constantly be approached by people, it would be a nightmare.

Much rather get rich and lead my own life in peace.

Tbh, I think that's a small price to pay. I don't think I've ever heard a celebrity say, 'I hate being a celebrity' and voluntarily leave show-business. They complain about it but yet they love it. They relish in the fame. Also, celebrities CAN avoid the press if they want to. Let me give you an example, before Cheryl Cole got booted from the American X factor she was splatted all over the papers. However after the rejection she went incognito for months.

99.9% of humans?

Is it wrong I wouldn't really mind being in the public eye? It isnt ad bad ad people on here are saying.

Yeah, this is how I feel too. I'd love it if I became just rich and successful, but the idea of being famous seems pretty scary to me for those reasons.



To be fair, from what I've heard Lily Allen has done just that. I've read interviews and watched documentaries of her where she's said she doesn't particularly like being famous, just likes making music. Then she decided that she'd had enough and retired from pop music to create her own clothes shop and get married and have kids, all of which she has done now. And then there's also a lot of child actors who grow up and later decide not to continue pursing show business jobs, and instead go into "normal" jobs and leave the fame game forever.

what a load of crap! there are tons of celebs who hate being celebs and they say it day in day out on interviews,, in the press, all they want is privacy.
and how can they leave the "show business" as you call it? to celebs like them, singing acting etc is simply a job, it may not have the 9-5 hours, they may be required to dress up more than those who work in an office but to them it is still a job, people commenting on clothes you wear, every comment you say is not and isn't part of the job. they are singers, actors, i.e. entertainers, they are not there for us to make rumours about or to have the right to say something about their life. and leave the show business? i mean please, be realistic, so your a celeb which means you are known by millions so how exactlycan you leave show business? it would be impossible to get a regular job as everyone would knowo who you were and as this option is ruled out you would have to stay in showbusiness as you need the money. to have food infront of you and a roof over your head it takes money. and these celebs will have to stay in showbusiness until they have money, only then will they be able to leave. i also think it is impossible to avoid the press - they are everywhere. furthermore, in show business you are in the public eye 24/7 when cheryl cole went into hiding she didn't release an album or a clothing line or "do her job" she was just at home with her family. a celeb cannot do that in show business e..g if you are a singer you have to perform infront of people whether it is on tour or in a studio, you can't go into hiding and do your job.

basically i disagree with your viewpoint completely.
