Do you think celebrities are becoming bored with being famous?

I've always wondered this. Sure, celebs get all of the fancy things in life. They wear high quality designed clothes on the red carpet and get treated to the finest accommodations. I'm wondering though, if, just because it seems like the grass is greener in the other side, that that might not be true. So I just wanted to ask, do you think that some Hollywood stars get bored? Do you ever think that they'd just want to buckle down and be ordinary people for once? Being a celebrity isn't all glamor and cupcakes. There's the media for one thing, spreading the next tabloid story about you. Then there's the pressure to have the perfect body, because sex sells, so they go on numerous diet programs and get airbrushed and glossed over on magazine covers. Oh yeah, not to mention the paparazzi cameras are always in their faces no matter where they go. There is no privacy.

I'm just wondering, even if they have a lot of money, how many of them sit down at the end of the day and go "Wow, for once I would just like to live a simple, ordinary life."

Of course they do. As much as the majority of them enjoy being engulfed with attention and fame, I'm sure they eventually feel stifled and forced to maintain a false public image. But if you're asking: would they trade away their glamorous lifestyles to have a normal life? Hell no. I think it's obvious that they work hard to be loved by the public, so why would they turn back? Over time they'll be forgotten and they know it, so they'll make the most of it now and settle down later.

Exactly, I read at one point that The Kardashians was going to quit their show because they were tired of being "famous" or whatever. I still they still doing their show.
