Fame and CelebrityEssay Preview: Fame and CelebrityReport this essayFame and CelebrityCelebrity and fame shows that it can lead people to many different ways such as in a positive or a negative approach. The positives can be money or admiration of the society and the negatives can be drug and alcohol or rumors from the media. These different types of aspects talks about fame and celebrity because this is what famous celebrities would normally overcome in these situations during there life in showbiz. This essay will therefore depict celebrity and fame through the text Asturias, the song “When I grow up” – PCD and cricket player “Shane Warne”. I am going to demonstrate how money, drugs and alcohol,and rumour from the mediaare related to these texts that we have been studying on fame.
I chose money because it is one of the basic aspects of fame involved in celebrity and fame. Money is also related in one of the text, Asturias. One quote that is mentioned in the novel is from Alex, “Twelve months of”fame and fortune”. The ride was every bit as exciting as theyd promised.” This quote shows that “fame and fortune” (in this case is money), can be a fine and thrilling obsession in life. Another Quote from Asturias was from Max, “Its an image industry there cant be a positive side to it all.” In this quote, Max is now showing the down side of fame and having all the money in the world can come at a cost. A text of my choosing that relates to money is the song “When I grow up” by PCD. This song clearly talks about fame by the lyrics, “when i grow up! I wanna be famous! I wanna be a Star! I wanna be in Movies! When I grow up! I wanna see the World! Drive nice cars! I wanna have Groupies!” They sing this to show that they wanna have everything which includes money and material possessions. Another text of my choosing that relates to money is cricket player “Shane Warne”. This player is a wealthy and well known man that gains money through fame, as it says; he is an “idol and a world beater”, which shows the good side of fame in his life.
I chose drugs and alcoholbecause itis also one of the basic aspects involved in fame and celebrity. Drugs and alcohol is also related to the text Asturias. One quote that is mentioned in the novel is from Claire, “Tim was drinking too much and disappearing until far too late some nights, but it hadnt affected his performance, YET.” This shows that Tim is persevering through his performances while struggling in the inside due to the issues that he has such as drinking. Another quote is from Alex, “Because fame is a drug, and once youre hooked you are like any other addict.” This quote doesnt specifically show drugs involved but does refer to the downside of fame which is like a drug and how it can affect your life.

One quote that is mentioned in the novel is from Claire, “Tim was drinking too much and disappearing until far too late some nights, but it hadnt affected his performance, YET.‛ I knew she wouldn’t want to drink this much to start with, but I decided to drink it the night before too.And, if there were not any alcohol involved, we decided to drink it as well.„I still remember that when she drank I felt so happy I started eating right away and enjoying every second of our lovemaking, and even then, she tried to say “I don’t know when it will end” and it didn’t happen. And I remember that she was looking at me and looking at herself in this very different way as well, but in that moment, my smile didn’t go away, I remembered it better, I don’t know if I want to talk now, my hands are shaking and I felt so good I don’t know how long I can continue to drink. I remember my face being so happy and my body feeling so happy, and with my new love of music and my new life, and her kissing me, I couldn’t get a better love picture and my heart wasn’t ready to open for myself at all, this is her story.She never did that to me after she fell in love with me.
I didn’t care much for her anymore as I didn’t know muchabout her before I fell in love with her but I also don’t think this is the end of the relationship.I don’t know if it ends this way, but to be honest, I didn’t go for the romantic part of things with her either, I just wanted to make her feel loved and to learn how to be in love with as much as she had been for two years.It wasn’t just for her because I was her boyfriend, but also when we went out and
