Fame

Fame is a fickle slave-master. It holds its victims in thrall as surely as any addiction. Having millions of teenage girls lusting after your body and wanting to share your bed loses its lustre as soon as you realize you can't go out in public without causing a riot, your home needs security 24/7 and even your backyard isn't safe from paparazzi with telephoto lens. Fans may think they own your public persona fed by ever pervasive media coverage but all this adulation leaves its object wondering if he/she still has any true friends who love him/her for who he/she really is, whoever that may be. After buying into the hype wears off the victim is left feeling hollow and used. Just ask Justin Bieber.
