There are a million and one ways you can become famous, as everything from appearing on TV through to having a witty Twitter profile can contribute to becoming a superstar.
How to become famous really easily
In reality, the fastest you could realistically build a celebrity profile would be over the course of six months to a year.
Some people expect to become globally-famous within a few weeks, but that is just not possible (without going on a killing spree!)
Here's my list of ways to get famous, so try them out for guaranteed fame and fortune:
Enter a reality show. Some people are famous for merely appearing on a reality show without even winning it (or even having any talent!)
The internet. In this day and age, it is relatively easy to become famous fast on the Internet. Use social networks to build yourself up. Make some videos to post and you are already half-way there! Once you have a huge online profile, it will only be a matter of time before a talent agent comes knocking for you! Stars like Justin Beiber and Rebecca Black have made big names for themselves via social media sites like YouTube and MySpace.
Sleep with someone famous and make a sex tape. This might sound as if you're being a bit desperate, but everyone from Kim Kardashian to Paris Hilton has generated media interest by simply filming their sexual exploits.
Marry a celebrity. This is probably one of the quickest ways to get famous. In the case of people like Britney Spears or Mario Lopez, the actual marriage only needs to last for a couple of hours.
Biology. Be the world’s fattest person or have 21 children by different fathers. Develop a talent like popping your eyeballs or swallowing things. Get a copy of the Guinness Book of Records and pick something, then work at it. Bear in mind that there is a requirement that you might actually need to be good at something.
Be the worst at something. Being a bad driver is just one of the things that TV shows have taken to an extreme.
Save a life or do a brave thing and make the news. TV shows will surely follow. Just don't try hiding your son in the garage and pretending he's flown off in a hot air balloon, it's been done before.
Be a rat. Blow the whistle on a company you work for, or expose the restaurant you work in for bad hygiene practice. You could even try and convince a serving US soldier to email you thousands of top-secret documents and then post them on the internet. Just don't be surprised if you end up facing a fabricated charge of raping two Swedish women in order for the US government to extradite you to Guantanamo Bay.
Win the Lottery and buy something outrageous (or give a large sum to charity). Not as simple as it sounds, but lottery winners sure do make headlines.
Blag your way into celebrity circles- Get photographed with them at every opportunity, start a gossip blog and dye your hair unusual colors (also known as 'being Perez Hilton').
You could also try to become a famous inventor, athlete, musician, scientist, actor or clothes designer, but this will take you much longer. You will also need natural ability or a talent!
Write a song or a script or whatever and mail it in to the label or producer. You can also make a video and put it on youtube - someone will notice it.
Ok, I'm going to try and help you guys. I know Disney and if you want to be in their next movie call this number (I heard this on the radio) 888-999-6819. I'm not famous, though I wish I was.
Love your way, trust yourself and understand this point with all of your existence: If you want a thing really, the world will help you and don't let you be alone..... So you are a lucky person.... Come on..
These days it seems to be quite easy to become famous. You can go on various reality shows including Big Brother and you can also apply to be an extra on a major tv show such as Holby City. The best thing to do is to join an agency and they should be able to find you work. What is it you want to be famous for?
So many people just want to be famous and they do not care how they go about it. Basically the only way that you will be truly famous is if you have a talent for something. Can you sing? Can you dance? If you do not really have a talent then it is pointless trying to become famous!
Overall look at reality TV shows as an option as they are the easiest ways of becoming famous today.
Guys and girls, it's not easy at all to become famous! It's actually really quite difficult! You have to be different from everyone else..... A special talent that not anyone can just do, and you need experience! Lastly most actors don't hit it big - it's really rare!
Simple. Get an agent. There are some good agencies out there, but if you really think you're good enough, go for it.
If you want to be a singer, then find a recording studio, make a demo tape, then send it to a good company.
For dancers, film yourself dancing then send it to a big company, it can be as simple as that.
If you want to be a musician, then film yourself playing your instrument(s) with both audio and visual, and like before, send it to an agency/company that will make you known.
But if you don't become a celebrity, then don't worry. Try a different company, or do something smaller, like performing at a local coffee shop and maybe you'll be discovered.
If you do plan to get an agent, then put together a portfolio consisting of pictures of you at your talent, a recording(audio, visual or both) and you may want to look up some other things to add.
I'm only 13 and I know this much, imagine how much I'm going to get to learn and improve on in the future! Hopefully, so will you. Enjoy! Love, Allie
Since I was four I always wanted to become famous, but it never worked but you know what? I never gave up.
First you have to work with a agency that really likes you, and you have to have a lot of talent because if you don't then you are just wasting your time - so figure out something that fits you the most and then you will be all right.
Ok, listen: There is no fast nor easy way to become famous, and it entirely depends on what field, if you want to sing: It takes a lot of hard work and persistence.
The X-factor is a good idea, yes, but it might not hold you a place forever, stardom is unpredictable. If you want to act, like I do, it is by no means easy, it takes a lot of hard work, patience and persistence, as does every profession.
If you ask me, it is not easy and cannot be rushed. Bear in mind, though, that if you try hard it could earn you a lot in life. If you don't, you could find yourself wasting the next years of your life not trying.
Put a video of you and your talent - a lot of people may comment, maybe not. Or you can get in a band and make albums for people to hear.
I really want to get famous - this is what I'm going to try doing during June 2010 this year, and this is what you can try.
Oh, wait - you can show your talent at places that are busy daily. Maybe at a railroad station or airport, maybe even in a city!!! Please try this - it might work!
The way to become famous: (well, this is what I'll try and do!) First I'll start with this:
Step1:get in to singing classes... Step2:get in to dance classes.... Step3:get in to acting classes.... Step4:then try to put them 3 steps together and boom there we go!!!
Just be yourself...there's always these people walking around where I live [California] and they're like "oh, you look like you would be good on camera". They're always at the Padres Games big events. I'm in it as an extra in the show CSI. Some people say it's expensive because of the classes for acting.
Well, if you're in dance, you can ask your instructor to see if there is any concerts or plays coming up. Also, if you're in voice or any instrument, ask your instructor to see if there is any music festival coming up like the Queassitt music festival.
Get an education and be sharp in choosing the right opportunity at the right time.....And pray for success and skill to balance everything in life and then you would be the top one.
Well hey, it's me, Miley Cyrus, guys. Well, if you don't have enough money to be a star, try going on Britain's Got Talent or stuff. You have got to step it up!
You know you just became famous by making this post, and now everyone is interested in expressing their ideas and beliefs about it. My point is this is a very small example of how a person can be known while they don't even know it.
If you think you have talent and you want the fame and money but have time to spare, go on a reality tv show like Britain's Got Talent/ America's Got Talent or X Factor/American Idol.
I have auditioned for Britain's Got Talent in November and have to wait till February - so that is what I meant that you need time!
Right - try to get on X Factor, win X Factor, get a number 1 single, get a second single/ album out fast, get on a plane to America. Go to Hollywood ask about roles in films etc.
There are a million and one ways you can become famous, as everything from appearing on TV through to having a witty Twitter profile can contribute to becoming a superstar.
