Who wants to be famous?

There’s a business in Great Britain that sells interesting experiences via the web, like driving a Ferrari for a day. I read an article about a study conducted by the company after they noticed that teens were buying their Superstar Singer experience and dance lessons. The study, which included over 1000 sixteen year olds, found that “more than half want to be famous when they are older.” I don’t know if that’s a startling finding or not as at the age of 16, most youngsters are still dreaming of their future, and of course dreaming would likely include fantasies of stardom. For those teens surveyed celebrity is not about talent, but about fame for fame’s sake (and the riches they think go along with it). In other words, the route to fame might as well be an appearance on a reality show. The survey indicated that among the top five celebs teens aspire to be like are: Kate Moss, Wayne Rooney, Lady Gaga, Nicola T and Richard Branson. Do you think teens eventually grow out of the "I want to be a star" mode, or do you think it has become a permanent part of the culture? So, who do you aspire to be like?
