A person who is considered famous. A famous person is someone who is known by many people. For the sake of simplicity, let’s assume that famous means being known by 10% of an areas population (such as a country, country sub division, town, etc.) from that period (such as the renaissance or roaring twenties). Therefore, there are many types of famous. One may be famous in their family, but not globally famous. This definition is useful for when desiring to write definitions about celebrities on Urban Dictionary. If it can be assumed that at least 10% of the population of the celebrities home nation (or residing nation if they are stateless) has basic knowledge about them (knowing their name and occupation), then it is acceptable to write a definition about that celebrity.

Get the Don't name your friends. We'll reject inside jokes and definitions naming non-celebrities.mug. People who are "famous" for absolutely no legitimate reason. Reality TV "stars" and YouTube "stars" are the primary demographic for faux celebrity status because their only real claim to fame is from playing out (usually) scripted, idiotic life scenarios for the sole entertainment of the masses that eat it up like an ice cream sundae. They generally get paid big money for creating garbage viewing.
YouTubers and Reality TV people aren't "real" celebrities. They're a faux celebrity because there's no real reason for them to be famous.

Get the Celebrealitymug. Pent up demand of celebrations unleashed after the delays from Covid. Often a birthday party or Baby shower that is happening well after the actual date of the occurrence.
