being a celebrity is often difficult. first of all, celebrities have to look almost perfect all the time. there's always a photographer ready to take an unflattering picture of a famous person looking dumpy in old clothes. celebrities also sacrifice their private lives. their personal struggles, divorces, or family tragedies all end up as front-page news. last, and most frightening of all, celebrities are in constant danger of the wrong kind of attention. threatening letters and even physical attacacks from crezy fans are things a celebrity must contend with.
