Celebrities often go to great lengths for publicity. Take Eminem, for instance. His controversial lyrics and feuds with other rappers like Machine Gun Kelly have been a way to stay in the public eye. His music videos are also often very edgy and full of shock value. Another example is Demi Lovato. Her very public battles with addiction and her journey of recovery have been a big part of her public image. She has used her experiences to raise awareness and also keep herself in the spotlight.
Some celebrities have done really extreme stunts for publicity. For example, Kim Kardashian once broke the internet with her famous magazine cover photo. It was a very controversial and talked - about image that got her a lot of attention. Another is when Justin Bieber dyed his hair different crazy colors at different times, which always made headlines. Celebrities know that being bold and different can get them noticed.
One of the craziest publicity stunts was by Shia LaBeouf. He had that whole 'I'm not famous anymore' performance art piece where he sat in a gallery with a bag over his head. It was very strange but got a lot of media coverage. Also, when Lady Gaga wore those outlandish outfits, like the meat dress as I mentioned before, it was not only a fashion statement but also a great way to get publicity. And Paris Hilton became famous for her party - girl image and her leaked sex tape also brought her a lot of attention, although that's not a positive example of a good publicity stunt.
One friend of mine climbed onto the roof of his house during a thunderstorm just to take a cool picture. It was extremely dangerous. Another friend ran a marathon in flip - flops just to prove a point. And then there was the friend who adopted seven guinea pigs all at once without having any prior experience taking care of them.
A Florida man once tried to swim across a canal full of alligators just to prove he was brave. Fortunately, he was rescued before the alligators got too interested in him. It was a really stupid and dangerous stunt.
Marilyn Monroe. Her life was full of drama. She was born into a difficult family situation and had a tough childhood. In her acting career, she was objectified and had to deal with powerful men in Hollywood. Her relationships were often tumultuous, and her untimely death remains a mystery surrounded by various conspiracy theories.
One flight attendant found a passenger sleeping with their mouth wide open. Instead of just waking the person up normally, she quietly put a little piece of paper on their tongue. When the passenger woke up and felt it, they were really confused at first and then started laughing when they realized what had happened. It was all in good fun, of course. And it lightened the mood on the flight.
We once entered a talent show on a whim. We had no talent prepared, so we just did a really silly dance routine we made up on the spot. Everyone was laughing, and we didn't win but had so much fun.
One memorable thing is that dad's friend took us all on a fishing trip. He taught us how to bait the hooks, cast the lines, and patiently waited with us for the fish to bite. It was a really fun day out in nature.
One vicar accidentally mixed up the order of the hymns during the service. He announced the wrong hymn number and when the organist started playing, it was a completely different tune than what the congregation was expecting. It led to some confused but amused faces.
A music teacher I had would always wear the most outlandish outfits. One day he came in dressed as Mozart, complete with a powdered wig. But the wig was so big it kept falling over his eyes when he moved. He would then try to continue teaching while fumbling with the wig, which was really hilarious.
Well, once in middle school, we had a substitute teacher who had no idea how to control the class. So, the students started doing all sorts of crazy things like standing on desks and making funny noises. It was chaos, but also kind of fun. The regular teacher was shocked when she heard about it later.
One time, we had a high school party at a friend's big backyard. Somebody brought a huge inflatable pool. People started jumping into it fully clothed. It was a total mess but also hilarious. There were water fights and people slipping everywhere.
