Celebrity is a kind of OZ. It's an alternate world where a dragon called Fame lives and thrives on the broken souls it devours. To survive and thrive in this land, you need to ride the dragon. Furthermore, although your public image may take years to build, it only takes seconds to break-and forever to repair. Navigating these challenges requires a strong inner compass. With thousands, if not millions of adoring fans, high salaries, a fabulous lifestyle, freebies, and opportunities, few understand how truly terrifying fame and be until they find themselves in the unblinking limelight. Such good fortune often brings pressure, demands, and unrealistic expectations. Winning the Fame Game helps celebrities, and those who will one day be famous, thrive in a world that often goes mad.
