Write a Good Celebrity Profile

I.

Writing a celebrity profile is fun and enlightening, but before you start writing one, you should take into
consideration some of the public risks that may be associated with the celebrity.

Instructions
1. Ask a celebrity, especially a high-profile one, questions about his current projects and how he got to where he is
now. However, avoid asking questions pertaining to what might be said in the tabloids because, in the end,
Angelina Jolie and/or Brad Pitt might as well walk away from the interview immediately.
2. Obviously, not all celebrities had such a glitzy, gossip-laden lifestyle before they became famous. Therefore, don't
hesitate to ask them about their humble beginnings. You may learn something about your own struggles in life in
the process.
3. If a celebrity's "beginning" or "end" happened to be filled with flaws or other traumatic events, you should try to
be as subtle as possible. For example, if you asked actor Ryan O' Neal about former lover Farrah Fawcett's cancer
treatment in graphic detail, he'll probably start crying because it will bring back painful memories for him.
Therefore, you should ask him if he ever got over his loss before you move on with the interview.
According to the above instructions take a celebrity you know very well and write the questions you would ask in order
to have an exclusive interview with him / her and the possible answers he / she could give for your article.
