CelebrityDom: Stressful or Worthwhile?

Being a popular celebrity that's always in the spotlight has got to be one of the more daunting tasks in the history of civilization! Constantly navigating thru the throngs of annoying, aggressive paparazzi & crazed, yet adoring, autograph-seeking fans on a daily basis has to be ultra-stressful to deal with. There's zero privacy, even during downtime, & you're always protected by bodyguards 'round the clock. You are most likely to be deemed by the general public as being "untouchable" & "unapproachable" for the most part. I, still learning the nuances of the media game, find "celebrity-dom" fascinating in so many aspects. How were the late King of Pop Michael Jackson and legendary groups such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones and The Temptations able to maintain their sanity? How do current popular celebs such as Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga, Johnny Depp & Angelina Jolie cope with all of the madness?

And so I pose this question to you all: If you were in the public eye as a well-known celebrity, how would YOU handle the fame & newfound fortune? Would "celebrity-dom" drive you crazy or keep you humble?
