Life in the Spotlight

I have really liked beginning English class with outside reading time for the past couple of weeks because it is a good and easy way to complete your 150 minutes of reading for the week.  As my reading of Dollhouse continues, the author has given details on the ups-and-downs of life in the spotlight and what being a celebrity in Hollywood is really all about.  Now that Kamille's modeling career has taken off, she has become an instant celebrity and the new "it girl" of Hollywood.  She is attending red carpet events, fashion shows, and photo shoots.  If you read my last blog post, you know that she has also started dating a professional baseball player named Chase.  The couple is constantly being talked about in the tabloids and rumors are always being spread.  One of these rumors however, pushed the couple a little too far.  It was reported that Chase was seen cheating on Kamille with another girl, and when Kamille learned this, she was not happy.  In fact, this rumor actually caused the end of their relationship.

The fact that Kamille believed the story was a little ironic because every other time the media has said something about Chase, she has brushed it aside claiming that "the stuff in the tabloids are never true."  So what was so different about this time?  Reading this made me realize how difficult being a celebrity really is.  At some point in everyones' lives, we all want to be famous, but if you really think about it, having a camera in your face all the time and people constantly surrounding you must get pretty annoying.  I know that I definitely need to have time to myself, so I could never imagine having to deal with never being left alone, like many of the celebrities in Hollywood have to.
