Hollywood Spotlight

Many desire for it
Even balloon boy and his family
And the White House state dinner guests too
Lying there way in getting media and tabloid
Attention for all to see
In making national media history
It’s ridiculous what people would do
For the Hollywood spotlight
A celebrity status
Many try to claim
Doing whatever for all to see their name
Risking even jail time
It’s not worth this or even a fine
Hollywood spotlight
Is not for those who yearn for it
But for those who truly earn it
