Would I ever want to be famous? I've actually posed that question more than once around here and my simple answer is usually no. It would be fun for a short time, but then I'd want my normal life back.
But feeling "famous" every once in a while is admittedly fun. I've been on the news and my comments have been aired on the local Rizz morning show a few times.
Such as this morning. I got another little 15 seconds of fame. If nothing else, it's just fun to know that from time to time when I write in to the show, they actually read the emails.
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I used to be famous (infamous maybe?) but not so much now.

@porwest Used to be able to find out all about me on the 'net. Haven't searched my name lately. Last time I did I got a lot of other Barbaras...

Now you'll have to wear sunglasses, a wig and a beard. Have a good day.

Yes, being famous for a short while is fun, but no, not for a long time. No privacy.

I would agree that being famous would be fun but only for a short amount of time. I don't think I could deal with all that comes with being famous especially living life in the spotlight.
I'm sure hearing your email being read on your local morning show made you smile.

I was on telly once! Just in the crowd in a Church service that was being aired on TV!
I've also been featured in Kerrang! magazine! I went to the Donnington Monsters of Rock festival once with a Japanese penpal. We only really went to see Extreme. There was a photographer there from Kerrang! magazine taking pictures of the crowd, so my face got into Kerrang! magazine, just in a background shot with the main pictures over the top! 
I don't think I'd want to be famous. I wouldn't mind being an extra, actually they call them supporting artists these days. But proper fame is not for me, I don't think.
