Newspapers and magazines are full of stories about famous people and the wonderful lifestyles that they enjoy. I think it is something that we get used to. We expect to see them wearing very expensive clothes and, going to amazing parties. It seems natural that if you have a lot of money, you will spend it in these ways. Some people who are rich and famous do manage to have a happy life as well. They get married and have children and,

 they have to work hard, they still have time to give to their family. Victoria and David Beckham are just one example of a happy celebrity couple.

Celebrities are ordinary people underneath and perhaps some of them are not strong enough to deal with their fame.
