Has anyone noticed that the qualites, personality or characteristics that created the celebrity is that same qualities, personality,or characteristics that became their downfall unfortunately? (MJ, 2Pac, Elvis,Rick James, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger,Monroe, Belushi, ect) Stardom can have a huge price! Guess were all equal no matter how rich, talented or good looking someone is.

It's my own personal opinion that genius in any form comes at a cost.

I've noticed, yep! I also have a distaste for those whom are money hungry, fake people (just look at them on TV when the "red carpet" thingie is on) C'mon.. does a dress someone wears make them any better than those of us who can't afford one?

Money/fame isn't everything and I know deep down I'd happily give up everything to be able to relive my childhood... to start over.

There is some things money just can't buy!

There is something to be said (I think) for these people that hit the absolute peak of their career so young. There is no where to go but down in these fields, no one stays on the top in the entertainment field forever. They've worked so hard, endured living in a fish bowl, every stumble documented and ridiculed, everyone waiting for the next best thing to come along. Every success is tempered with the prediction of failure the next time out. I couldn't thrive under those conditions and I don't know anyone who could.
