The Stress and Pressures of Hollywood Fame

Hollywood fame is not all about fun and glamor. Living the Hollywood fame is like living inside a fishbowl where everyone can see and criticize your every move. It is often very difficult to deal with especially for stars or personalities who were used to the anonymity back when they were still mere mortals like us.

It could definitely cause some stress and paranoia with the paparazzi always breathing down your neck. Being famous also requires you to please people with your appearance and the way you talk. Most of the time, these celebrities would have to watch their language during interviews and compromise their own beliefs for fear of doing a Carrie Prejean. For a huge Hollywood celebrity, it could be very difficult to stand your own ground especially if you do not have the support of your true friends and family.

From being an unknown to the next biggest and brightest hot and loaded celebrity in Hollywood could stress out some actors. Even the often misunderstood Megan Fox, whose Transformers stint made her a household name admitted that fame is an unbridled territory. "I definitely feel ill-prepared. I know I'm struggling with trying to figure out how to live in it, but I definitely feel it's premature,” FHM’s hottest woman alive said in an Entertainment Tonight interview.

To be able to handle fame and the pressures that come along with it, celebrities should know proper stress management and goal setting. They should be able to keep their heads straight on the goal that they want in life and of course the support of families and friends would also help in keeping them grounded. They may be celebrities on the big screen, but strip them of the designer clothes and the name, they would still be normal human beings like us who also need to be level-headed.

Hollywood Cosmetic Surgery Gone Wrong

It is a given for celebrities to look their best, but now and then, there are just some Hollywood personalities who seem to have forgotten to look the part. They are those actors and actresses who let themselves go, stuff themselves with tons of calories, dress like a clown, or get themselves a DUI case. Those are a wee bit normal. What’s not normal are those epic fail cosmetic surgeries Hollywood stars get themselves into.

First case is millionaire, Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump. Okay, she looks hot, but take a really closer look and you’d see that something is awfully wrong with real estate princess. Her nose looks like it’s gonna be wiped out of her face any minute. It just keeps getting smaller and smaller to the point that it’s not proportioned to her face anymore. And while her itsy bitsy nose makes a ghostly disappearance, her breasts get bizarrely bigger than her small face.

My advice to Ivanka, slow it down on the cosmetic surgery.

Next is the deceased King of Pop, Michael Jackson who has a record of 20 cosmetic surgeries. Most of the enhancements were done to trim down his nose. Needless to say, going under the knife 20 times has made a world of difference on his looks.

Last but not the least would Tori Spelling. Yes, the daughter of the multimillionaire TV producer, Aaron Spelling. In an autobiography she released years ago, she mentioned that her estranged relationship with her mother caused much of her internal battle about her looks which ultimately lead to her first appoint with a cosmetic surgeon. Initially, it was just about the nose, then the surgeries came one after the other. Her boobs have also received a lot of bashing from gossip mongers in Hollywood because aside from the fact that they are obviously the products of cosmetic surgery, they also do not look proportioned to her thin frame. It seems as though the silicon boobs are gonna popped out any second.
