A
celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person
who commands a high degree of public and media
attention. The word stems from the Latin verb
"celebrere" but they may not become
a celebrity unless public and mass media interest
is piqued. For example Virgin Director Richard
Branson was famous as a CEO, but he did not
become a global celebrity until he attempted to
circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon.
Another example is Al Gore
whose environmental crusade has elevated him to
celebrity status. On the other hand, mass entertainment
personalities such as soap opera actors or music
stars are likely to become celebrities even if
the person deliberately avoids media attention.
A
famous definition of celebrity comes from the
cultural theorist Daniel Boorstin. In his book,
The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America,
he cynically describes celebrities as people well
known for their “well-knowness”. (Credit:
Wikipedia).
