Who doesn't want to be famous?

Talent helps.
Being in the right place at the right time can be a good option.
There are many things you can do to be put in the public eye or to gain exposure.

But you’d better read this BBC story.

According to the BBC, publicist Max Clifford has created a 10-point guide to becoming famous.
He has advised would-be stars to appear on reality TV shows, date celebrities or Royal Family members, or steal the limelight from a high-profile relative.

People could also fail abysmally on TV talent contests or make the most of being attractive. Being in the right place at the right time was also a good option, Mr Clifford said.

"There's no set route or set of rules to achieving fame. Nowadays it's possible for people to become famous literally overnight," he advised.
"Talent doesn't even really come into being famous any more - it helps, obviously, but most of it is just about being seen and with the right people, and then really knowing how to capitalise on it."

Paris Hilton, Peaches Geldof and Bianca Gascoigne are among those said to have gained exposure by coming from a famous family. Coleen McLoughlin and Kevin Federline are cited as people who have become famous by dating a celebrity. And when it came to being pictured in the right place at the right time, the examples included Liz Hurley and Kelly Brook.

Mr Clifford, 63, said there were "absolutely no limits" about what people would do nowadays "if they think it will achieve their dreams of fame".

The top five ways to be famous:

1. Appear on a reality series
2. Enter a talent contest
3. Be abysmal on a talent show
4. Gain fame by association
5. Date a celebrity
