I imagine the worst place to be is being half famous or a B-list celebrity. Enough prominence to be at the receiving end of all vile described in the article but not enough money, power and connections to adequately protect yourself.
Both Amy Winehouse and Britney Spears come to my mind as having become enormously popular (and rich on paper) very quickly but lacking the power and support to distance themselves from people that were bad for them.
I remember the story where Amy Winehouse served tea and cake to the Paparazzi waiting outside in the cold for her. This could have been a brilliant joke if she was above all this, but we know she wasn't. She was feeding the predators that were after her and that despite having enough money to pay for protection.
Maybe this is not as good a life as all of us nobodies can have but I'm convinced it's a million times better than that of B-list celebrities who can neither have a social life in the real world nor afford to build their own world.
An oxymoron. The above is probably what kicks people out of politics into an oblivion.
