Talent – Ability to do something well, like musical performance or acting. A complete lack of talent has never been a barrier to success in these fields (see Hilary Duff or Kevin Federline, for instance). Conversely, having extraordinary talent in these fields is no guarantee of success. Superior marketing beats superior talent every time (see Madonna).

To see a reasonably accurate filmed history of Pearl Harbor, see Tora Tora Tora (1970).

Get the Pearl Harbor mug.Someone famous for being famous (or infamous), particularly in the entertainment industry. A meta-celebrity is a well known celebrity, who has not done anything particularly noteworthy to justify their Fame. The late Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton are two contemporary examples. Meta-celebrities do not always orginate in the entertainment industry, but they nearly always gravitate to it, often as a last ditch effort to extend their "fifteen minutes" as their profile starts to wane.
