EMMA WATSON: Being famous is a pain in the ass

What gets me about celebrities is some of them can really complain about how hard their life is. Are you kidding me? There is nothing hard about your life. You have to deal with a unique set of annoyances that the rest of us don’t. Sure you give up certain privacies and at times your life can be under a microscope but look at what you gain. You gain money which brings power and fame that brings prestige. You are set for life. The kicker with celebrity is you can choose to continue being a celebrity. Walk away!

I can’t sympathize with any celebrity who has loads of bank including money and appeal who actually state being famous is hard. You know what hard is? Hard is cashing your paycheck to only realize this week you choose between getting a grocery order in or paying for half your month’s medication. That’s a scenario people do go through and there are others just like it. Now that’s hard right there. Being bothered by the paparazzi or dealing with gossip or fashions hounds are nothing. Trying existing like a normal nobody.

From azcentral.com Oct 2010 (mexico's seventeen magazine) "I think you should be yourself because otherwise, you'll be on the wrong path and the results are not gonna be pretty. Be yourself, be honest. Don't take it too seriously, that's been one of my biggest mistakes. You're young, just have fun." From ctv.ca  November 4^th 2010She said: "I do things in my own way, but I've never felt any need to rebel. To be honest, I've always had far too much freedom. I had a job when I was 10. I started living on my own when I was 17 or 18. I've earned my own money; I've travelled the world. What would I rebel against? I've had so much freedom, sometimes it was hard. From hamptonroads.com July 16th, 2011, "I have never really known what it is to have total freedom. It’s not something I lost. It’s something I never had." From musicrooms.net November 5th 2010 She explained to Entertainment Weekly,"Being at college, I took pleasure in the smallest things. Like, 'I'm going to wake up at 10 'o' clock if I want to'. Or, 'I'm going to eat a sandwich now'. It feels wonderful." (Was she is jail her whole life. Did I miss something? Are there not child labor laws in the UK for when she was underage? From hollywoodlife.com  November 15^th 2010

Can you believe Emma Watson almost quit Harry Potter? “I hate to sound whiny, but it’s horrible,” Emma tells Entertainment Weekly. “This has definitely been the most intense, grueling period of film-making I’ve ever done! I have such a structure when I’m working on Potter,” she continues. “I get told what time I get picked up, I get told what time I can eat, when I have time to go to the bathroom. Every single second of my day is not in my power.”

From wwd.com (Interview with woman's wear daily) Nov 19th 2010 “I mean, I just wasn’t allowed to do anything: wasn’t allowed to cut my hair, put on nail varnish, tan, wear a bra that made my boobs in any way look [larger], have any flesh showing, wear any makeup when I was playing Hermione. I always had to back-comb my hair — ‘She looks too pretty, take down the blush or the mascara, take it off.’ Fashion was my rebellion.” (Didn't she say above she felt no need to rebel? So Radcliffe can do full frontal nudity in Equis and do a movie with a love scene. Rupert can do a movie with a love acene. But poor little Emma can't show a little bit of skin?) From iheartwatson.net “The money is quite overwhelming. My dad didn’t tell me how much money I was earning until I was 18. When he did, I just felt quite sick. I should have been thrilled but I just felt really scared. I’m a student. I don’t have a huge need for money. I don’t have a lot of time to spend it. The expensive clothes I wear tend to be lent to me.” Watson, who studies at US Brown university, also said she doesn’t know what to do with all her cash.  She added: “I have way too much money to know what to do with it. I bought a laptop, and a Toyota Prius when I passed my driving test, but that’s the most expensive things I’ve spent my money on outside my education.” (She left out her expenisive pad in London, the 3,000,000 pound flat in Paris, a 1,000,000 ski lodge in teh French Alps, the penthouse in Providence to entertain guests when she was a Brown student, she likes to travel as part of her spending and the money she drops down on clothes)

From splashnewsonline.com Dec 9th 2010 The 20-year-old Harry Potter actress told British newspaper Metro: “The funny thing is people look at me and go: ‘Is that the girl from Harry Potter?’ And then they shake their heads and say: ‘No, it can’t be, she’s on public transport.’ And I’m sat there secretly thinking: ‘Ha Ha that’s funny. From makeushot.commakeushot.com 2008 “I have a more normal life than people expect. When I take public transport, people are like, ‘That girl looks like the girl from ‘Harry Potter,’ but it can’t be her on the train’. I get stopped by people, but that’s fine. (hmm, that sounds familiar, lol) From people.com Dec 2007 "I'm not the girl they get the number 19 bus into town with to grab a coffee," Watson tells the Daily Telegraph of her friends. "I just get mobbed. ... It's an uncomfortable experience for everyone. Sometimes I miss the fact that I have never really been a teenager because I have been Hermione for such a long time." (The 2010 quote above regarding public transportation contradicts this one. So she was more famous in 2007 than she is now?) From iheartwatson.net 2007 Do you have to watch how you behave in public?“Fame probably restricts my freedom a little. I can’t act like the rest of my peer group, I have to think more carefully and be more wary of people. You don’t even have to do anything wrong, the papers just interpret it in a certain way. So I’m careful. But I don’t feel like I don’t have a good time or am hiding inside myself.” (hence quote above this one, lol) From iheartwatson.net  Is it weird to be famous? It’s kind of … I dunno, it’s a bit surreal. I really don’t feel famous. I forget that I am, and someone will stop me on the street and I’ll remember. So it is weird. It’s not important to me. I don’t need people to know my name. From iheartwatson.net  “I have been in town with friends and been chased down the street and have had to hide in shops.”

Around this same time she boasted about her wealth like she did recently and cause a little bit of a shit storm. I guess she got over being "so sick" with having all that money.

This is what she means by being famous is hard? That she had too much freedom to do as she pleases but had to actually earn her millions by working? This just shows you how sheltered and naive she is of which I can give her that but her admittance of knowing this just makes her all the more daft and dimbo like Lavender Brown. What's hard about her life is she can still ride the tubes in London with no issues? I think she's making this up or just trying to be funny.

Here's why I think that

What exactly is the issue here other than her whining? This girl will never know struggle of hardship the rest of her life. She'll never be lonely or worrying about the future. She has money and fame and beauty. She also just had to throw in she has too much money and don't know what to do with it. She supposedly believes in fair trade and fighting poverty but she makes comments like that? Someone get her an ugly costume and 20,000 a year job pronto!!! She made her money, now walk away if it's hard.

The girl is addicted to fame. She can't get enough. She loves all the attention it brings. She loves the money and high life. Don't let her tell you different. Other than being an actress she attaced herself to Burberry that brought her more fame and alter Lancome. She just wants it both ways. She wants the money and the attention but when she wants a day off from it she wants it to all go away. She's over exposed herself with more than her fair share of coverage but complains about it. Not only do I think she whines but she is so naive and a bit of diva to boot. She always can find something to gripe about.

From potterincantatem.com May 9^th 2010 talking about what it's like to be famous "You get these massive highs. It’s like you sort of have a stage of hundreds of hundreds of people at a movie premiere, and it’s lights going off everywhere, and you don’t have a second to think, and you have a million people doing everything for you because you’re so busy trying to do whatever. And you go from this hyper-intenseness, and then you’ll finish your movie, and it’ll just stop. Or you’ll go to your hotel room and there will just be silence. And I can’t explain it, but it freaks you out." From digitalspy.com October 2010 "Actually, I'm quite shy, I've never liked attention and money. I feel myself a little bit like Finding Nemo's Dory - I just keep swimming and don't turn around to watch the mess." (Wow, a model and actress is saying this, lol) From pastemagazine.com  July 14^th 2009 Paste Magazine interview "I’m also very interested in fashion, and in modeling, which I enjoy. I enjoy photo shoots, because there it seems that the cameramen (or camerawomen) look at me very differently."
