Why would any person in their right mind want to be a "celebrity"?
What's to celebrate?

Every poor fashion choice?



Every bad make up decision?



How about that face lift from hell?



Excessive drug usage?



Or one's poor mating matches?



Which lead to horrible parenting techniques?



Then you have brushes with the law?





Public emotional collapses?



Accidents?



Business disasters?



Eating disorders?



Publicized sexual escapades?



Utter stupidity?



Murderous behavior?








Ahhh, don't tell me... They have a great union

3. Money.
Make enough to buy and maintain a nice little island, stash some in a nice bank account, never be seen again.

That'd be my plan.

5. Even if whatever you do gets splashed all over the internet?
I'm freaky, not an exhibitionist

7. But they still got laid.
A lot of people's thought process stops as soon as their chonies hit the floor.

6. Hmm...right mind.
Would an attention-whore be considered as being in his/her right mind?

And I mean a grown-up...not a toddler.

(Oh, jeez! Did I just kinda call toddlers "whores?" Man, this HAS been a long week. My apologies.)

8. I don't think any of those particular people are in their right mind
I think that may be where your argument fails to hold water. :P

10. I have often wondered this very thing.
"Fame" seems to me to be one of the worse fates.

This is why I love the intertubes so much. Anonymity, sweet blessed anonymity.
