Careful what you wish for OR you reap what you sow: the tragedy of a fame whore

The drama of Jon and Kate (of "Plus 8" fame) is playing out daily on People.com. Jon was caught in bar with girls! Jon denies affairs! Kate denies affair with bodyguard (they have a bodyguard?) Kate is on the cover this week with the headline, "Kate Admits to Struggling in her Marriage" - really? Do tell more? How relaxing can it be to have twins AND sextuplets? How relaxing can it be to have a film crew following you around, watching your every move, editing a day in your life into an "entertaining" hour of television? Wait - these were choices YOU made....

You want fame? You want financial compensation? It all comes with a price - sometimes a little more dear than you realize. Privacy is a luxury; and society loves nothing more than for people to slip off the same pedastles they built. What is sad is that at the end of the day, there is a family in pain, children who don't understand what is going on outside their world. I don't envy Jon and Kate, not for all the money in the world
