If You Were In The Public Eye Constantly...

...As in the media followed you around, you're a celebrity, whatever -- and you happen to have a MAJOR impact in other people's lives as they consider you their idol and look up to you...

Would you consider it your responsibility to act accordingly in regards to the idea that you are most likely a role model to a few n number of people out there and try to be the best you can be, even if it means not really being you and being aware of what you say, do, how you act, what you like/dislike because you know it will influence others...

or

Just be yourself and tell others this is me, this is what I do, so deal with it.

I find it quie interesting that we put that "burden" on celebrities because they are in the public eye... that they must act in accordance. We can say "they chose to be a celebrity..." but really, you can't make being a celebrity happen without public following (as in us, the masses).... so its like, we made you so now you gotta do what we want you to do... How would you feel and what would you do if you were in that position?

I would be myself and maybe a few times act differently like at big events

It would really, really suck. That's about it..

If I was an idol for people, I'd just act myself, as that's what I think people should do. Plus, if I ever became famous at all, I wouldn't alter my personality to fit in with celebrity culture at all.

i'd just by myself.. and if the public doesnt like me.. then ill do something else with my life.. :P

I would do Paris Hilton once since if your a rich male and young it is Hollywood rules to have intercourse with her.

For one, I hate the argument of, "Oh, they chose to be celebrities so I don't really care if they're mistreated." They're people too, they're not there simply for our personal amusement.

To answer the question, yes and no. I'm vulgar, profane, irreligious, hedonistic, and sometimes maybe a bit too blunt for my own good. I don't see all that as being a bad thing, though, at least not in the same sense that the mainstream public might and I wouldn't change any of it if I were more famous. I do, however, see being a public figure as being both an opportunity and coming with responsiblity, and if I were more famous I would speak acordingly. I also have the same mindset right now, though. So no, I would not change my behavior, no I would not worry about pleasing everyone, but yes I would try to be responsible in how I used my notoriety.

I'd be myself. While I might have people looking up to me, I'd rather not have people looking up to me for being something I'm not. How can anyone look up to me if it is all a facade. If people looked up to be I'd like to be as honest in that as I could be, and being myself is the only way I could feel like I have fulfilled a responsibility to those people.

I'd be myself, and would invite the paparazzi everywhere I went, so my pictures would be availble to every magazine, making their value drop, therefore decreasing a paparazzo's desire to harass me at every turn because it wouldn't be worth their while. You can't avoid them all the time, but at least it would give you some control over the whole situation. Also, I would occasionally go commando, while wearing a kilt, and step out of a Bentley in front of a crowd of paparazzos a la Britney :P

I would purposefully do stupid things to see if anyone else would copy me. And if they did, more them.

I will say i would be myself but its really hard if u are in that position somethings things will change according to the situation...

I would never want to be in that position, but if I was, I would act myself as usual. Meaning I wouldn't talk to people much. If celebrities know they are well known, they should expect to be photographed and hounded by random people. Either deal with it or don't go out in public.

i would prolly use all of my money to prevent the paparazzi form harrasing me, that or make a friend inside tthe media who would give me a break from them

There's no way I'd be able to stand it.

I don't like people staring at me as it is, and I get pretty self-consious.

Well, I'd suspect that my personality and behaviour was a big part of what made me a celebrity in the first place, so I'd continue to be myself. But that doesn't necessarily mean I'd be a poor role model. Some celebrities really could stand to be themselves a little less in favor of not acting like fools...

Its hard for me to answer since I want to hopefully gain a future of success in entertainment, and I want to reflect a positive role model who loves others also. So I guess it is part of me to potray a loving, and passive individual for others:?

"they shouldn't go out more if they know they will be hounded by paparazzi" WHY? Why must we tell them to not live their lives when it is us as a society who keep clamoring for more information about their lives. Heck, here in GS no one can even just let Miley or the JoBro alone... if you guys hate them so much, why make threads about them? Why feed the fire? Why do we need to constantly find affirmation and support from 'peers' who hate them too? Sense of unity? Talk about how much you love them or hate them it still comes down to you still talk about them...Sajedene

If I was on a job/interview/event I would act like a role model and be respectful.

If I was out with my friends or partying or something, I would be myself.

I think I would try to just be my self and I don't think it would turn many heads, I guess I wouldn't be that bad a role model.

The media will only clamor for the people they know the masses want. The media does not dictate what the people buy nor do they dictate what we like or do not like or what we want or do not want. They try... oh believe me they try to TELL us what we should like... but as much as we would like to think us as society are nothing but mindless sheep, we're not. There is a reason why some make it and some dont. There is a reason why some only have 15 minutes and some just will not go away. In the end, we as a society will want what we want and they will be there to supply it. Simple economics really.Sajedene

Also, you work with these people so you are more biased woman!:x:P

I would be me as I am already a pretty good guy and the public can take me for both my virtues and my faults. Still I don't think being me would cause a whole lot of problems to be honest. They would dislike me for my position on abortion though.

I'd be myself..i'm basically apathetic, so there's not much to hate on me for...as for hating on Cyrus..I really hate her music, not because it's a trend..i just dislike the genre, same for the JoBro's. I just wish the music would stop :x...give me some of THIS Disney...or THIS!! No more cute little wannabe's :evil:!! Or even one of the songs from my sig...i can't stand pop music!!

Too many explanations...brain...hemorrhaging..:x

I would just do my best to be a good example.

The paparazzi should get a life and a real job.

It is marketing yes... but with marketing comes marketability. There is a reason why, despite the fact that everyone loves Susan Boyle, you dont see posters of her made or her face on a lunch box. Because us people wont buy it. But Miley and JoBro... oh the target audience will.Sajedene

Also, you just had to use Susan Boyle as a reference.:lol:

I would be myself by attempting to get a restraining order for any type of paparazzi. I would also use my fame to promote the idea that they are nothing more than professional stalkers.
:)

I would be myself. If people can't accept that, then too bad.

[QUOTE="Xx_Hopless_xX"]

[QUOTE="FFCYAN"]and what of this target audience? Would you not consider them mindless in the sense they are young and impressionable and don't have any taste? I would say so. Not to be mean or anything, but the Jonas Bros make awful music but the girls like how cute they are. There is no substance with that. They are marketable, your right, but that seems to contradict the whole "sheep" mentality society has on popular culture point you made.

We could do this the easy way and say everyones a mindless sheep except a select few...or we could argue...and i'll probably lose...your choice 8)..

Show the public how awsome Futurama is, somehow.
