In a sense I agree with all of the definitions here. However, a distiction must be drawn between celebrities and actors/musicians. Actors/musicians work relatively hard to become succesful in there chosen profession, and despite all the contests that provides lazy TV execs with reality TV, very few actors/musicians make it big. A celebrity on the other hand is somewhat opposite, i.e. they are famous without trying very hard to earn fame.

The celebrication of Paris Hilton can be attributed to the release of a sex tape in 2003, which brought the celebutante to a new level of fame, leading to magazine covers, a book deal, and a reality TV series.
The surfacing of celebrity sex tapes has become so common that some in the popular media have suggested that celebrity agents and PR representatives sometimes purposely allow the releases to celebricate their client's career.

Stop focusing on celebrity issues. Who cares who got married/divorced/cheated on/or has a baby, everyone else does!
And for those damn teenage girls: Ignore these people, they are not important, they are not a role model who you believe is posisitive influence.
I condemn celebrities because they are stuck-up morons who can't do anything good for the world and are a distraction to real issues. They are artificial people, and I am not jealous of them, just don't pay any attention to them, and anything so see in a damn supermarket or whatever, don't buy it if you see their name/face on it. It's pointless shit, really, it is...
