Abusing Celebrities

Well, the blame can't be put upon the celebrities themselves. They are as powerful as as the fans would let them, so if these fans follow what these celebrities bid them to do then I can't really see any abuse but rather stupidity.

Hi Annihilation! Welcome to mylot! I do have a celebrity friend too but thank God she really is a friend to me. She never asked me to do the same. Who knows? Maybe your friend needs more publicity. Maybe she's dreaming of being known not only in your country but overseas as well. Having an 8 million likes on facebook is a big thing and will surely catch the attention of big time producers, probably of Hollywood. Abusing her fans? Not 'till she bribes you or insists but if it's a favor she asked you in a nice way, then you might consider your friendship as a motivation in helping her with her career. :)

Hi, ANNIHILATION. I don't know of any celebrity personally that would actually do something like this. I can say that many celebrities that I may like already, are doing this. I think that it is unfair to gain publicity by persuasion. If they want a fan to really like them, then they should just be "likable". Being liked all of the time, isn't always so much of fun. If this celebrity that is in your town of living is trying to get more likes, I think that she is just being too greedy.

I have friends who are members of some bands. They asked me to like their page. Some people are not really celebrities but they asked people to like their page. I don't really mind. They want to get many support as much as they could.

This is facebook trends so everybody wants it. Liking in facebook is full of deceits and lies, but still companies are going crazy about this stuff of liking in facebook as if everyone really likes them. Some even offer tasks just for this stinking likes in facebook!

Hi annihilation, PUBLICITY AND POPULARITY GOES HAND IN HAND. If your popular friend has asked you to do such an act that probably irritates you, then, it could be that, she wants to expand her publicity to lot more regions or countries. Since, you very well know that, these days, facebook is a global thing, the more the number of likes, the more could the person be known world over. Anyways, being a friend of her, you could take pride in helping her by giving her more likes and making her more and more popular world over. :)

I have a friend who is famous for being a member of a famous local band therefore a celebrity, but he was the exact opposite of what you are describing. He is really humble and very much just easy to be with. He would bring us to his gigs and we would just hang out like buddies, have some laughs, and just the usual stuff. I guess, it's a person to person basis. Some people love the attention and would go through many things to get it, while others just remain humble the way you knew them, or even more humble when they become famous.

Hi Annihilation, This is really sad to hear. Anything done with full interest gets the real credit and fame. So as by forcing someone, it will definitely gonna bring their fame down as celebrities. I am sorry for you and your friend who made u to do so.!

No, I haven't. And I wouldn't bother doing these things. I guess the reason is clear and simple-that's show business. And it's a part of being a celebrity. And it really sounds awkward as to why the have to do this.
