Keller @ Large: Fame And Fortune Not So Great

BOSTON (CBS) - In the world we live in, Andy Warhol's famous prediction that "in the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" has definitely come true.

It can happen in so many ways.

One bad Twitter gaffe, and the media will be waiting for your plane when you land. Go ahead, make a YouTube video; there's a decent chance it will go viral and maybe even attract the attention of a reality TV show casting director.

And then everything will be great, right?

If that's really what you think, consider the sad story of Lamar Odom, currently fighting for his life in a Las Vegas hospital after a suspected overdose of drugs, alcohol or both.

The former NBA star made millions, won two titles, and became a reality TV star when he married a Kardashian. But he was a man with problems dating back to a troubled childhood, and guess what?

Fame and fortune are no substitute for real love, stable relationships, and the other things in life that fuel the happiness and spiritual grounding celebrity and money and party-time can never provide.

Listen to Jon's commentary:

In fact, in his last known interview, with the celebrity vultures from TMZ, Odom blamed the purveyors of his fame for his downfall: "Y'all have discredited me, beat me down, took my confidence, took everything away from me."

Next time you find yourself envying someone else's money or celebrity, think of Lamar Odom.

And consider reconsidering your values.
