While there are definitely tons of perks that come with being a celebrity, like the money, nice clothes, and invites to awesome Hollywood parties (to name just a few), fame also has its drawbacks.
Like the paps.
Being a mere mortal, I love the freedom I have of being able to go out of my house in sweatpants and no makeup without fear that an unflattering picture of it would show up online later that day, followed closely by the rag mags discussing my cellulite, my hair and my major fashion Don’t.
And I don’t even want to think of having to deal with my personal life in front of the world. After watching the media frenzy surrounding Lindsay and Sam’s recent breakup, I have really started to feel bad for our little LiLo. I know she’s sort of an attention whore (with a laundry list of issues), but the absolute last thing I’d want to deal with after a big break-up is constant media attention.
Just imagine what it would be like to have to deal with a heartbreaking break up while the world was watching your every move. Would you want the paparazzi swarming you when you’re walking to class in baggy sweats, no makeup, and puffy eyes from crying? Or have photos taken of you while you stock up on cookie dough and Doritos to numb the pain of a broken heart? I know I’d like to avoid any and all photos when I spontaneously burst into tears at the mere mention of beer (“OMG MY EX LOOOOVED BEEEEEEER. Waaaaah”).
I guess having every aspect of your life broadcast to the whole world is just part of being famous (and it’s something I don’t understand because the only people that recognize me on campus are my BF and my other 4 friends), but I really think we should give Linds some space as she works her way through the steps of a breakup.
We all know how hard breakups can be so let’s let Lohan enjoy her Ben and Jerry’s in peace, shall we?
What do you think?

Totally agreed. Leave poor Lindsay alone.

I don’t feel bad for her at all. She seeks out attention from the paparazzi.

She can choose to stay in. Celebs make lots of cash, which more than makes up for the lack of privacy.

Like Katy Perry, and probably many of you, I kissed a girl. And I liked it. More than once. Lately I’ve been wondering if kissing a girl is so different, what would having sex with a girl be like? The thought has left me awake at night with lots of questions, confusion and curiosity. When it comes to trying out the other team, there’s just so much to consider…
