How do I become famous?
I can't become famous over night or by just sitting here. So I need help. I'm a 13 almost 14 yearold girl who lives in Massachusetts, I'm not bragging but im pretty and I have a good body and I'm pretty good at acting. I wanna get out there and be famous. So if anyone knows anyone I can contact that are the real deal or any official or real websites. If anyone knows any actresses or actors can you ask them for advice? I really wanna be famous and I think I good.

Why do you want to be famous? You don't have to tell me, but just think about it on your own. I mean, having money and being admired by people is nice, but you can make that happen without being famous. The only thing that fame will really grant you in this lifetime is paparazzi following you everywhere trying to photograph you in your worst moment, tabloids creating rumors about you, and rabid and sometimes creepy fans (some of which would love nothing more than to steal your underwear or put cameras in your bathroom). Maybe you want fame regardless of that and feel there are some really good reasons to reach for it; ok, but you need to remember those negatives, too.
Next, while you can and should looks for tips on better acting skills or general ways to increase your chances of being discovered, DO NOT look for media contacts on the internet. There are a lot of people out there who want nothing more than to take advantage of you. Don't call strange numbers, don't give out pictures, and don't promise to meet people over the Internet even if they do claim to be 'talent scouts' or what have you. There are some legitimate ways to increase your chances of being discovered but for the most part it is just too dangerous to do on the Internet, especially at your age.
While there are a few people who got lucky and became famous just by knowing the right people and having the right looks, those people are rare. They are greatly outnumbered by the hopeful dreamers like you, 99 percent of which will never become famous. Being pretty, having a good body, and being 'pretty good' at acting are a start, but there are plenty of people that can say the same thing and you will be competing against them. You need to have more than that.
In my opinion, the best way to become famous is to find something you love, like acting or singing or painting or whatever, and practice the crap out of it. Perfecting a skill is difficult and becoming famous is even harder. But trying to become famous by taking shortcuts is nearly impossible unless you win some sort of cosmic lottery. Paris Hilton won that lottery, but you would be better off buying real lottery tickets if that is your plan. Practice, practice, practice is the first step.
If your school puts on plays, join them no matter how cheesy they seem. If you want to act, you need real acting experience and everybody starts somewhere. And hey, if you hate acting in the plays then you probably shouldn't dedicate your life to it.
If you want to get into music, join the choir, learn how to play an instrument--generally just take voice lessons and music lessons as soon as you can and keep up with them as much as possible. Having real musical skills gives you an immediate leg up over the average person whether you plan to go into music or acting.
If you throw yourself into these things and develop some mad acting/singing/guitar/or whatever skills, in a couple years you will be on the road to fame. When I say on the road to fame, I mean in three years you might be part of the way there. You may even get to that point and fail. A lot of people do. But if you really want this, honing your talent is the place to start.
Also, if you really like singing, in a few years you could try for American Idol. But be aware: I have a friend who is 20 and has been singing her heart out since she was a child. She tried for American Idol and was actually a finalist within her city to go onto the show. She was beaten out by only one spot; the judges loved her but she just didn't quite make it. This takes a LOT of work and even then the outcome is not guaranteed. So be sure to keep up with your schoolwork no matter how confident you are in your acting ability. Hey, if the acting thing doesn't pan out maybe you could try to be a famous author, hm? J.K. Rowling and Stephanie Meyer are wildly famous for writing alone, and they don't have as many weird tabloid articles written about them as most actors. Good luck. :)
