Robert Pattinson: life for fans??

Popularity is good, but when you may be deprived of life because of popularity – here is much to ponder.
Lately, the incident had happened in New York, where the famous actor of the movie “Twilight” Robert Pattinson tried to escape from female fans and almost landed under the wheels of the taxi.

 

The event took place in the heart of New York. According to an witness’s words, Robert wanted to run across the street, and only thanks to the driver’s excellent response Pattinson was not under the wheels of the machine with the cups. The car just pushed Robert, after which he was able to leave the scene of the incident himself.

 

Knowing people tell that Robert’s life became to be a continual hell. He is being persecuted, he must be constantly hiding. The crowds of fans are on duty near his house and shooting area. And despite of such vicissitudes Robert Pattinson was always kind to his fans.  

Celebrities Who Died from Drugs

People, today I would like to talk about the fame as a curse of celebrities. Everybody knows that being famous is not so easy, and sometimes our “stars” is too week to refuse from some bad things their fame brings them. One of such things is DRUGS. We know many celebrities who tried drugs at least once. We know many celebrities who had been arrested for taking drugs. But sometimes the result of taking drugs can be fatal! You understand what I mean – DEATH.

I found a list of 18 Celebrities Who Died from Prescription Drugs. I will not take your time and write about all of them. I am sure their names are well-known for you. You can see all of them here:

I just wanted to write about some of them here for you to understand the idea. It is always pity when good people suffer from their fame.

Bruce Lee
Date: July 20, 1973
Drug: Equagesic (painkiller)

The iconic martial artist died in Hong Kong at the age of 32 from swelling of the brain (“acute cerebral edema”) caused by an allergic reaction to the prescription painkiller equagesic, which contains aspirin and the muscle relaxant meprobamate. The pill was given to him by an actress friend after he complained of a headache.

 

Anna Nicole Smith
Date: February 8, 2007
Drugs: Eleven drugs, including chloral hydrate (sleep aid) and several sedatives/muscle relaxants: clonazepam (AKA Klonopin), lorazepam (AKA Ativan), oxazepam (AKA Serax) and diazepam (AKA Valium)

The controversial model was 39 when she was found dead in a Florida hotel. After an autopsy, the cause of death was found to be accidental “acute combined drug intoxication,” athough the chloral hydrate (AKA Noctec) specifically was listed in the coroner’s report as the “toxic/lethal drug.”

Elvis Presley
Date: August 16, 1977
Drugs: As many as 14 different drugs, including codeine (painkiller) and methaqualone, AKA Quaaludes (sedative)

The official cause of death of the King of Rock ‘n Roll, then 42, was cardiac arrhythmia (an irregular heartbeat), but it’s generally believed that prescription drugs contributed to his heart condition. Although initial statements from the medical examiner excluded drugs as a cause of death, further investigations found that the singer had been prescribed between 5,000 and 10,000 pills in the eight-month span before his death.

Marilyn Monroe
Date: August 5, 1962
Drugs: Pentobarbital (AKA Nembutal) and chloral hydrate (sleeping pills)

The sex symbol actress was found dead at age 36 in her Los Angeles home early on the morning of August 5. The toxicology report showed high levels of two barbiturates in her blood: Nembutal and chloral hydrate. Monroe’s “acute barbiturate poisoning” was listed as a “probable suicide,” but many people believe that it was an accidental overdose or even a murder.

Steve Clark
Date: January 8, 1991
Drugs: Unspecified antidepressant and painkiller

At the age of 30, Def Leppard guitarist Clark was found dead by his girlfriend in his London home. The cause of death was respiration failure due to an excessive intake of anti-depressants, painkillers (which had been prescribed for a cracked rib) and alcohol. Valium was also found in his system, but not an a harmful level. It was ruled an accidental overdose.

There were also Dorothy Dandridge, Jimi Hendrix, Freddie Prinze, Keith Moon, Abbie Hoffman, Margaux Hemingway, Rob Pilatus, Dana Plato, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Chris Penn, Gerald Levert, Pimp C, Health Ledger who died from drugs….

Advantages:

Speaker1:

People always agree with you. Wealth may well go with the fame. You will probably be very happy with your success.

Speaker2:
1. Able to afford anything
2. Hanging out with famous people
3. Attending and owning expensive places or things

Speaker3:

popularity, money, almost “above the law”, hanging around famous people.

Speaker4:

lots of attention, usually lots of wealth, and many opportunities.

 

Disadvantages:

Speaker1:

People will always agree with you and you might well become a big-headed fool who just talks about them self all day. You will have to go on holiday far, far away so as not to get recognized. Your privacy will be intruded upon by the media.

Speaker2:
1. Invasion of privacy
2. Might become drug addict, homeless, alcoholic, and etc.
3. Become greedy and quite self centered

Speaker3:

invasion of privacy, the need of spending on expensive clothes- you can call it somewhat becoming a snob by peer pressure- in this case tabloids. otherwise you get on the “worst dressed lists”, etc. 3rdly- getting masked if you make a mistake- or simply be human.

Speaker4:

loss of privacy, responsibility to the public, no longer appreciated for the true you, but only the famous image.

Celebrities’ life: blessing or damnation?

Who did not dream to wake up one sunny (or not very sunny) being famous? Publicity, recognizing in streets, your photos in magazines and on big boards, fabulous fees, public parties… But is it really as wonderful and cloudless as it seems to be at first sight? Very often you understand that everything is not so simple only when you spend some time at those surroundings.

Somebody should be responsible for a young “star” at the beginning of its career, should not it? Everybody knows that there are managers and agents which serve or such a goal. These uncles and aunts can become your real friends and helpers who will be sincere in helping you to achieve something and become independent then. But very often such people see only money-bags in you and do not take into consideration your opinion and wishes (or unwillingness) to do something. Well, you have a choice here: to search for another agent (if you have such an opportunity. Very often you can find out that you do not have any other variants and contacts) or continue to suffer and kill your nerves with this one (if your wish to become public and your confidence in a fact that only this agent can help you in that do not prevail your wish to be a person with strong nerves who knows its own worth).

Who did not read interviews of celebrities where they complained about their difficult life? We think: why do they complain? Money, glory, admirers, many opportunities, bright and beautiful life…  But not many people think about the fact we see only the cover of a book. If we begin to turn its pages over we’ll discover that a “star’ has many complexes, is afraid of being left and forgotten in a year, is afraid of being killed, poisoned and so one. That is why it is not surprising that almost every celebrity has its own psychologist. Here we have the first drawback of fame (but not for a psychologist of course).

Let’s continue to turn over. There is no personal life at all. Photographers, journalists and fans follow you everywhere. As we know, a celebrity hires securities for such a case. These brave guys (sometimes ladies) follow you (I mean a “star”) everywhere. There are so many mentally disturbed fans or envious people everywhere. So, celebrities have to worry about safety of them and their families.

The page number three is the necessity to keep the brand and meet the status of a «star». Restricting the freedom of action… Persistent lack of sleep because of thinking about what to invent in order to warm people’s interest in its personality. Standing competition …

As we can see, this medal has two sides too. Of course, it would be unfair to assert that life of a famous person is a continuous damnation. In the end, all we see what we choose. And all negative sides of popularity can be easily compensated with positive ones. You just need to understand that here, as in any other case, there is a flip side. And if you decide to seek for popularity and become famous, be prepared not only for the celebration of life and positive sides in all its manifestations, but also for any negative aspects of your chosen path.
