This is how I view "fame".
Fame is a giant boulder at the top of a tall steep hill.
The celebrity in question is a tiny little ant.
The ant goes to the top of the hill and pushes the giant rock off the top.
As it begins screaming down the hill, crushing everything in its path, the ant decides to jump in front of it.
It could either run with it to stay one step ahead and try to escape being crushed.
It could stop running and try to stop the giant boulder (Ant vs. 2 ton piece of stone).
It could do the smart thing and jump out of its destructive path.
