When you look at the definition of celebrity you get a famous person or some one of renown and fame, but what are celebrities now?
Someone who is famous for five minutes and then thrown back into the cold hard ether of the real world?
Not always but we now have the three worlds of celebrity, non celebrity but still well known and the rest of us that have not had our five minutes of fame yet.

You do not need particular talents just a weird personality quirk is enough to get you into the business known as show and of course being irritating is a skill worth honing, but seriously now you can get into the world of the once beautiful people one of three ways they are
a) Marry a celebrity and then try and create you own career, one example being Kevin Federline, Kelly Mcfadden (I know she was in atomic kitten) but it took divorce to elevate her to the heady world of Iceland adverts.
b) Go in through the reality show route. Jade Goody is a prime example of how reality TV can make you and then when it is feeling cruel it will also break you reminding you that from dust you came and to dust you will return when the public is tired of you and you have no real talent to fall back on.
c) Famous family ties Jack Osbourne falls firmly in this category I mean what does he actually do?(answers on a postcode please)
I do not want all this to seem too negative celebrities even non celebrities can still do alot to give the rest of us mere mortals some hope that one day we can all be beautiful but jeeze can we just form now restrict the term celebrity to people that will be with us for a while and not disappear the victims of their own non-success and yes great public we should not be encouraging the people we can our bit by
a) Writing to magazines and asking them to leave out interviews with reality t.v. stars
b) When a magazine describes a non-celeb as a celeb contact the magazine and ask them to write a retraction to clear up confusion.
c) not buying fitness videos featuring non-celebs
d) Boycotting the lottery when a non-celeb is due to push the button that week.

but remember people in the eyes of our families and parents we are all celebrities
and beautiful people in our own little ways, also you cannot abolish celebrity all together as it would give us a lack of guidance when it comes to life style and it would stop us having anything to gossip about and our lives would really seem shite.
