14 Jun Woman Who Wanted to Be the “Fattest Woman in the World” Is Pregnant and Losing Weight

In this modern world of ours – where a dog-eat-dog attitude to life is rewarded handsomely, while the more meek and retiring are left by the wayside – it feels like everyone wants to have their 15 minutes of fame. This compulsion can manifest itself in a positive light, with athletes pushing themselves to ever more extraordinary heights, popular culture booming with skilled musicians, or even actors entertaining the world with their talents.

This attitude has given rise to reality TV shows like Big Brother, where contestants are rewarded for histrionic behaviour and tempestuous tantrums.
