Fame, fortune and FAKERY?

It seems these days that to be famous you need to be a selection of things:

• Skinny
• Pretty
• Rich
• Talentless
• FAKE.

Disagree? 

How many people in the charts today look like they've been dragged through The Only Way is Essex backwards? 

And, while we're on the topic of The Only Way is Essex... Have you ever had more of a reason to throw things at your Tv screen? They're a bunch of fake tanned, spoilt, rich kids who think it is appropriate to act like complete idiots.. Well, I say 'act like complete idiots', if you combined their IQs, you wouldn't even get into double figures. That's not acting. 

Then you see things like this. 

They make your blood boil. 

Why would anyone want a 'backstage look at her life'... Surely that's just like watching a rock with hair extensions? 

And, whilst we're talking about 'fakery' and 'hair extensions', some of you may be aware of a show called 'Snog, Marry, Avoid.'. A show in which girls who are too fake for their own good get 'made under' by a computer. 

What a brilliant idea. 

Just, maybe not for television. 

I'm not one of those people who thinks people shouldn't be themselves, I think people should be free to express themselves in anyway they feel they need to. But when they wear very little clothing and enough fake tan to erase the colour white from the spectrum, that's when people need to step in. 

However, exploiting them and embarressing them on Tv is slightly cruel. Some of them have the intelligence of a peanut, so they don'y understand that people at home are laughing at them and not with them... And, in a way, when I am laughing at the orange Oompa Lumpas standing on screen, I do feel slightly sorry for them. 

But, why is it that people who are this fake, and people like Tulisa (Who was voted the sexiest woman by FHM readers... I mean seriously, what the hell?) who are talentless and fake, always seem to get attention whereas normal hardworknig people, who aren't fake and annoying, never seem to get noticed. 

You may not know this, but the song 'Love the way you lie', by Rhianna and Eminem, was actually written by a young girl in America called Skylar Gray. The record company liked the song, and wanted her to do the song with Eminem.. but they didn't think it would sell as well as it would if it was a big star, so they bought the song from Skylar for $1,000,000 and got Rhianna to sing on the track, which them made millions.

So, I want to leave you with one final thought. 

If you want to be famous for something worthwhile, work for it. It may be hard work, and it may take a long time, but it's so much easier than being someone you're not and having people think that's all you are. 

Always be yourself and don't change because someone tells you to. 

You are fabulous.
