the pains of fame

i often realize what a pain it would be to be a celebrity. the constant paparazzi stalking, infidelity, everything you do or say becomes a controversy, not to mention the lies and assumptions made by the tabloids. i've been feeling quite bloated the last few days and have an even deeper sympathy for those in the spotlight. if they even have a little bloating from gas or pms, they are dubbed "pregnant" or "showing off their baby bump". i personally know what it's like to have (many) people ask me if i'm pregnant when i'm not...but at least they ask before spreading the news abroad the earth. thankfully, those that know me know that a bump...or many bumps...on me is normal and not to assume. so count your many blessings you're not famous because you can live life and not be judged for it.
