Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Sorry, there’s so many inconsistencies with her stories and I don’t know where to start!
I thought she was going to do some sort of reform and advocacy work but now I’m hearing how she’s with her ex-fiance, is pregnant, a baby registry?? I’m not saying she can’t do those but she isn’t true to her words.

Of course, while it’s important to earn a living (food and housing ain’t free), money is far from the only reason why people want to get famous. They might be incredibly passionate about a certain subject and want to share their skills and knowledge with the world. They might revel in other people’s attention and simply want to be liked. Or they might want to use all the attention they get for good, such as fighting for social causes or supporting charitable organizations.
Fame doesn’t necessarily have to be a ‘bad’ thing. How society perceives it will depend a lot on what you do with it.

Walmart yodeling boy… saw a video of him performing an original with Lana del Rey. Going from meme to touring and being on stage with A list singers is pretty amazing.
