Who's Up For Making Me (In)Famous?

[Speaker to Animals]

Infamous is a lot easier, all you need is a rifle and a grassy knoll.

Except nobody knows who was on the grassy knoll...

The song Popular from Wicked is now stuck on my head. That's all famous is: popular on a large scale. You are focusing on your accomplishments, which are impressive, but have nothing to do with charisma, which is the basis of fame.

You can't tell what I'm like from reading my posts?! Life of the party here, folks. If anything, too much "charisma," must dial down.

I bet you're a lot of fun to hang out with, but that's not charisma. Example: Chris Christie has charisma. I think all good politicians do. When you talk to him, he focuses intently on you - you feel like the center of his universe for that time.

I think a charismatic person has other people calling him/her 'my friend joe/jane' when he doesn't even know the person's name. It is the illusion of intimacy where there is in fact none.

Good point. OK then, an Austrian school girl and a hidden cellar.

Not sure I get the reference. I know of a German schoolgirl and a hidden attic space. That one didn't end well.

Yikes! I'm too authentic to be a fake. Hopefully, fame can be achieved with other than showmanship & disingenuous behavior.

Maybe the Fritzl story didn't make it across the Atlantic. I recommend that you don't Google it.....

Maybe you're trying to hard?

Some celebrities try anything to get noticed again with some skeezy sex scandal or some manufactured drug problems?l. At that point it's a 2 line item on the bottom half of page 143 in Variety. Because it's so expected it's a cliche. "She hasn't done a film in 3 years so she should have something...right about now."

Why anyone would want to be noticed is strange to me. Unless you're an actor.

It made it. Unfortunately.

Well, you can actually be a warm person with a great deal of interest in other people a la an Elizabeth Warren or some religious leaders who are by all accounts genuinely warm and caring individuals.

I hear they need a new boss at the FBI, that will get you well known...........
