Fame

Have you ever wanted to be famous? To have adoring fans screaming your name? To have your picture greet the crowds on the door? Fans demanding encores? If your into that stuff great just be careful don’t let it get to your head. You see every day that fame can be good or bad depending on how you use it.
Fame can make you more respected like Princess Di, Steven Tyler, and Michael Jackson. Princess Di was a much respected person because she was a kind honorable person not just a future queen. People loved her because she spent so much time, effort and money towards charity. Steven Tyler is famous for his time in Aerosmith, but he is respected because he was friends with a terminal cancer patient. Steven spent lots of time with the fifteen year old and when the teen died Steven was distraught with grief. Michael Jackson is famous for four reasons: His music, his legendary father, Michael’s music, and his recent death. Even though Michael is a controversial character he still managed to do a lot of good in the world; mainly having to do with charity. All of these people have used fame for good in some way but there are others who just go crazy with fame.
Some people use fame for good but others wild with the fame. A good example of people going crazy with fame would be none other than, Lady Gaga. The famed Lady Gaga reportedly threatened legal action when an Ice Cream shop produced a new flavor of ice cream. The flavor was supposed to taste like breast milk and the name was Baby Ga
ga. Lady Gaga has also stunned people with her choice of attire to certain events, such as to the Grammies, or to see the Queen of England. When she went to the Grammies she was in a sort of transparent egg. When she hatched out of the egg she had should
er plates on that made her shoulders appear to be pointy. When she visited the Queen she wore a flamboyant red rubber dress with an old timey collar around her neck. That outfit caused uproar with millions of people simply because it seemed to make fun of the Queen. Another example of bad choices that made people more famous would be Frerard. Gerard Way and Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance started a rumor that said they were really into each other. They acted it out on stage when they performed. They used Fame in a strange and potentially bad way unlike Steven Tyler and Princess Diana.
When people are famous they will remember you forever, especially if you do or act in a strange way or if your death was a suicide or a gruesome murder. For example, people remember Charles Manson because of the murders he planned. When he planned the murder of the eight and a half month pregnant Sharon Tate and told his followers to write “pigs” and “helter skelter” on the walls in her blood, people heard about it and Manson is now famous because of the horrible thing he did. Another example would be Marilyn Monroe. Her death was a huge conspiracy because nobody was sure whether she was murdered or if it was suicide.
Fame can be good or bad depending on how you use it. Charles and Marilyn are a far cry from each other but they are still famous, they just chose to use it differently. If you’re not stupid with fame you will be okay but really if you are people never forget.
