Fame can give you access to other things and other people so if you have causes that you are passionate about you can use that fame to help them.

Depending on what you do for a living you might be living a dream. If you are an actor or musician you are now being paid handsomely to do the job you love. Most people are not allowed that opportunity.

If you are single you can get some grade A ass.

Your fame can give you special treatment if you want it.

These are just a few from off the top of my head.

Fame, a lot of the time, is what you make of it. If you are out in clubs drinking and doing stupid shit and out at all the Hollywood hot spots you will be followed around and photographed. If you live a normal, somewhat typical and boring life the paparazzi tire of you pretty quickly. Look at a guy like Harrison Ford or Tom Hanks. Those are two of the biggest stars in the world yet they are never in the tabloids. Why? Because they live pretty normal, boring lives. Sure, if Tom Hanks went out, got drunk, puked in the street the pulled his cock out and ran down the sidewalk, they would be all over him. If he were on Twitter posting crazy pictures of himself or saying crazy things about himself they would be all over him. In reality he is just a dude who has a cool job and is pretty much left alone.
All good points.
