I used to want to be, but not any more! I had my own small taste locally, and it was a nightmare! I couldn't go to grocery store, to dinner, shopping, ANYWHERE without either running into someone or being petrified that I was going to run into someone. I can't even remember how many times I've had to duck behind displays or into aisles to avoid people ...

No thanks!

member · Hermes

No way in hell! Sure the money would be nice, and the free stuff, but honestly - most celebs seem so egotistical and self-absorbed. I would never want to be like that. Not to mention, every move you make is under a microscope - you can't have a bad day..everything's on camera. No way!

twinkle · Coach

No way.

It seems like a living nightmare!

tri_sarah_tops · Marc Jacobs

I want the money but not the life. It's insane that celebs can't even go to the gym without being stalked and photographed.

Luv2Shop · Kate Spade

I would want to be famous in the "insert profession here" of the stars sense of the word. You know like: Designer of the stars or Party Planner of the stars. I think those people are famous, but not like celebrity famous. Like that guy who plans all of Oprah's parties. He is famous. I want to be famous for designing all of their invitations to their fabulous events!!! ;)

Renee · Kenneth Cole

I'd like to be famous / well-known in my own profession. As for being a celebrity, God forbid! I wouldn't want the stress.

i feel the same way.

kealoha · Kate Spade

Money-wise, yes. Certainly not the lifestyle of a celebrity.

wildflower930 · BCBG

I'd want the money and that's about it!

atlgirl · Gucci

No. I'd take the money, but not the fame. I'd rather be quietly rich. :)

exsupahero · Kate Spade

if it happens, sure, but i'm not going to go actively seek it.

Kitty · Hermes

NO!!!!!!

Alikat · Kate Spade

I wouldn't mind being a famous author or designer... but definitely not a celebrity!

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I think I'd like being famous, not so famous that the paparrazzi attacked me everywhere I went, but maybe Reese Witherspoon famous.

Maddie · Coach

I'd love to give interviews and make celebrity playlists for iTunes and generally just make people listen to how wonderful I am. And go to events and be fabulously dressed. And be able to go anywhere in the world with all my money.

But I would HATE to be followed around or for my life to be in the spotlight, other than exactly when I wanted it to.

So basically, it's not a dream I would chase or anything, but if it happened I couldn't resist.

cat · Marc Jacobs

Okay how do I explain this.
I am a musician (Mostly Punk Music), so although I would love to have a successful band (major record deal, concerts, etc.)
However, I wouldn't want the press or that lifestyle, sure the money would be nice, but I would ideally just want to be successful at what I love and make enough money to have a comfortable life.

kenzie · Chanel

Yes, but not as a screen/tv actor, although, I used to want to be a Hollywood actress. I want to be recognized for a creative profession (like writing, designing, Broadway performance, etc). If I had some kind of line, like jewelry or clothing or even a store, I'd like to have celebrity clients.

It's in my blood to love the spotlight, so I'd probably get a kick out of being a celeb for a bit. The stalkerazzi would get old after a while, though.
