Why Does Fame Bring Out Celebrity Mean Streaks? | DISH Network Stars Still Shine

3 November, 2009

Seek and ye shall find -- a few stars can be found who do remain humble in spite of fame. Many people turn mean with success, but some of the kindest and most authentic individuals don’t let celebrity change them. You'll always find some interesting celebrity news on DISH Network channels.

We all hear, with disturbing regularity, about the rich and famous folks who let fame go to their heads, hardening their hearts in the process. In most any venue, be it film, TV or general corporate business, a taste of success often adds a mean edge to many people. Why is that? What makes so many people think that achievement (be it by their own hard work or just blind luck, or maybe a fortunate mix of the two) entitles them to imagine they’re better than the rest of society?

The fact of the matter is that no amount of success, and no degree of failure, actually alters anything of true importance. The only value of material wealth is in the experiences it affords us. There are a few celebrities who seem to understand this.

For example, young actor Shia LaBeouf was deliberately gracious, kind and engaging with a lovely fan whom he met on the Today Show this summer. He even invited the girl to spend the day with him, behaving like a gentleman and a genuinely nice person rather than a spoiled star.

Sean Lennon, youngest son of the late John Lennon, has been dubbed as one of the most humble celeb offspring around. Actress Angelina Jolie and singer Jessica Simpson have both been recognized for their work with, and kindness to, under-privileged kids. Even if you’re not a big fan of these performers, it’s impossible to deny that they’ve nicely used their celebrity status for good rather than evil.
