I'd Never Wish to Be a Celebrity

So, I am reading this story expecting to see something horrific that Justin Bieber wrote in the Guestbook of the Anne Frank Museum.  That is not what I get from it at all!

Here's a link to the ABC News Blog Story that I read:
http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/justin-bieber-says-hopes-anne-frank-belieber-162001923--abc-news-celebrities.html

Even the people commenting are trashing him.  Clearly, the author of this blog and the commenters did not pay attention to the details.

Clearly, Anne Frank was like any teenage girl.  The article states that she had posters of pop-culture icons and celebrities hung on her walls.  So, I do not see why it is so awful for him to hope that an intelligent/inspiring girl like her might have been a fan of his, as well.  Am I really reading it that wrong?

This is a prime example of why I would NOT want to be a celebrity in today's world.  Everyone is so ready to bring you down and criticize you.  Why can't we bring people up?  What about the fact that a huge young star like him spent over an hour walking through a boring old museum?  What does that say about his character?

If I were a celebrity:

I would never give interviews.  Because your words are just turned against you.  But, then again, if you don't do interviews, you must be a snob.

I would never tweet or facebook or write anything down.  Because your words are just turned against you.  But, then again if you don't tweet or facebook, you must have something to hide.

I would never leave my house.  Because your actions are just turned against you.  But, then again if you don't leave your house, you must be a jerk.

I know that celebrities know what kind of lifestyle they are signing up for.  But, I still feel bad for them when I see things like this.  It makes me all the more angrier when it involves a child/young person.  We are making them into the adults they will become.  So, maybe the constant criticism will turn Justin Bieber into a Russell Crowe that just seems to hate everyone who approaches him.  I sure hope not!
