All right, I'm just gonna show what big hypocrites everyone else on this definition are.
Thank you for your useless information. Now, what do you think of Kurt Cobain? Yes, whether you like it or not, Kurt was technically a celebrity. He certainly was rich enough to fit into the "1% controlling 90% of the money" category. Or Mick Jagger? He still is a celebrity. Yes, for every mick there is a paris. Yes, the celbrity-stalking tabloids are incredibly stupid. That's why their average reader has an IQ of 21, but still, think before you post, children.

Lets see, I don't have anything to do, so I'll post a definition of "celebrity" that is identical to 20 other peoples', and then I will b e happy. Yay!

Get the celebritymug. Relative term for someone who is known by people who have never met them because they have done something worth talking about or putting in the media.
For example, you may hear about a guy who saved a drowning baby in your city, but no one outside of you county has heard of him. So celebrity is a relative term.
Most people usually only think of celebrities as the kind who are in the entertainment industry, because they are the best known, and even if they fade out of mainstream, they will usually still have cult status.
The guy who saves the baby, if he makes national news, will be popular for maybe a week or two, then no one will give a damn anymore.
People with the more stable celebrity status are not just entertainers, but also politicians and bussinessmen. Can anyone honestly say that Bill Gates and George W. Bush aren`t celebrities? But they never had to sing or act.
Also, people should not hate on celebrities so much. Not all of them are bad, and most of the things people complain about(ie all the other definitions for celebrity) are not the real problems with them anyway.
People who hate celebrities are just jealous. There is not any need to be jealous, and celeb-haters will pretend to agree with that because they are just insecure losers who take refuge by being poser and by dissing people they know are better than them.
Celebrities are no different from anyone else. The only reason ignorant assholes think so is because you are obviously going to hear more about the guy who buys half and island is obviously going to draw more media attention than the guy who goes to help in Africa for a month(unless its Bono).
Problems with celebrities are the people`s fault, not the celebrities. Not that they are not responsible for themselves, but it is societies fault that the jackasses get famous.
You(being a moron) are jealous of celebrity. So you are more interested in the story where he is DUI than the story about him donating $100,000 to fight cancer. Surveys are taken all over the country, showing that assholes like you prefer the negative stuff. The mass media wants best possible ratings, so they show the bad stuff the most, and mostly follow the celebrities who always screw up.
Level of celebrity is about fame(generally caused by media attention) more than by money.
I can personally guarantee you that more Americans have heard of Eminem than Ross Perot, who has more money.
And you are also an idiot if you think celebrities cause people do be poor. Give poor people their money, how retarded are you? Who do you think gives celebrities money. Not all poor people are stuck being poor. Some are poor because they spend more money to go to the movies that they should be saving for rent. Instead, they get evicted. And it is their fault not some celebrity who just made a movie.
Celebrities` popularity is also the whole reason they get payed so much. They used to just get a flat paycheck, until Danny DeVito realized it makes no sense for the producers to make more profit based on the movie`s success, and that actors should to. He demanded to take a percentage for his role as the Penguin in Batman Returns, and actors have been payed this way ever since.
You hear a new movie stars Jennifer Lopez and Chris Rock(this is hypothetical) so you make sure to get to the movie even though it doesn`t sound very interesting. It sucks, but makes $40.6 million in box offices thanks to people like you who watch it just because of the celebrities who you claim to hate, but really wish you were them because you know how worthless your own pathetic life is.
Also, they aren`t all lazy, not that there is a problem with being lazy. Being lazy is only bad if you need money but are just sitting around doing nothing instead of trying to make money, then blaming your poorness on the system.
If your are poor enough that you have to chastise celebrities, you should be out working instead of spending money you don`t have for and internet connection to bitch about how everyone else is better than you.

Loser`s thoughts: Damn. I am ugly and poor. Justin Timberlake is rich and famous, and gets all the chicks. I wish I was him. His music is awesome, too. But I can`t let my friends know, I have to keep up this hardcore gangsta image of mine. If it comes up, I`ll just call him a deushbag and blame him for societies problems. I`m popular enough that they`ll even pretend to agree!

Get the celebritymug. The definition of celebrity seems to always be in a sea of change. Why not, celebrities are like waves, they rise and fall, they come and go. Some are dropping dead like flies. Need I name just a few over the past few years? Robin Williams Chris Farley Alan Rickman Patty Duke It used to be you just needed to be famous to be a celebrity.
Nowadays you need to be super famous like Elon Musk to be a true celebrity. You can be famous for good or bad, but fame is a form of currency that allows you to trade up on your name. Donald Trump has listed his name Trump on his financial statement as being worth $3 Billion. Nice form of currency if you can create it.
Most people become celebrities like Henry Ford because they make things. Other people like Adolf Hitler become celebrities because there are still people in the world who celebrate Hitler's birthday.
Celebrity comes from celebrate which means to "cause attention upon" "heap praise on", or bring a gathering together for a cause or personality. It comes from Latin Latin celebrātus, past participle of celebrāre to crowd, celebrate, derivative of celeber much frequented, famed.
If you get 13 people in a room and cause 12 people to pay attention to, and only focus on 1, that One is the Celebrity. It only takes 6 people promoting one person or cause to make a celebrity in modern social networking society.

Get the celebritymug. They are full of self-delusion, hypocrisy and attention seeking drug habits. They are spoiled drama queens and usually have absolutely no idea what they're talking about because they're under-educated. They drive cars that cost enough to feed a small country. They provide nothing practical to society and pack-rat millions of dollars all the while claiming to be enlightened humanitarians and giving away a few thousand dollars to charity which they could just as well wipe their ass with.
