It must be tough to be a celebrity these days. In pre-Internet times, famous people only had to worry about the traditional media outlets spreading news about their embarrassing moments. Their blunders may have been picked up by newspapers, magazines, radio stations and TV news organizations, but now the newsmakers have to worry about their less-than-stellar moments spreading online as well.
In the past few days, I noticed a story about an interviewer insulting an actress' boyfriend without realizing it was her boyfriend and another story about a young baseball pitcher's error that occurred because he forgot to call a time out. A few months ago, there was the story and video concerning a certain high-level NBA player getting slam dunked on by a kid.
The pressure to be perfect must be huge, especially when you consider that most people have cameras in their cell phones and could capture a mistake in an instant.
