The celebrity culture that is idolized today was in actuality a ploy used to attract an audience following. Stars were created, not born. The Studio System comprised of The Big Five (MGM, Paramount, Warner Brothers, RKO and Fox), who are credited for creating some of the most legendary stars of the time, thus leading to the term ‘star system’. Studios invested a great deal of time and money into grooming and publicizing an actor, and owning him in the process, simply by signing him to a contract. When an actor had inscribed his name on the formidable piece of paper, he had no future of his own. Depending on his talent and the response his image got from the audience, he was either crucial or dispensable to the Studio he had been employed by.…
All fame begins when you do something noticeable. For example, actors and actresses build upon their careers and reputations by achieving excellence in their personal goals, as well as perfecting their public performance.…

For example, a Nigerian celebrity Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju, also known as Bobrisky, he is famous for acting stupid and doing unnecessary things on social media. He was able to gather attention when he claimed he had a lover who is assumed to be masculine gender despite the Nigerian constitution at that point in time which made such same-sex relationships an offense punishable by serving 14 years in a penitentiary. He isn’t famous for the good that he has done but for the nonsense, he posts on his social media pages like Instagram and Snapchat. I can also relate this essay to Fame 101 because the author just like Daum talks about how people became famous due to the scandals that they have created. And, they both differentiated fame and fame-iness. In fame 101 the author states that “fame might be a misnomer as many people confuse it with celebrity, Barrack Obama has fame.” The author of fame 101 considers people who have impacted our society and people who have talent as famous people. Daum did the same thing in her essay, “unlike actual fame, which involves some talent and hard work, “fame-iness” requires little more than a willingness to humiliation…
The concept of Celebrity and Fame are ones that affect relationships both positively and negatively. Fame refers to the state of being known by many people, and Celebrity is the noun for a famous person. The experiences and perspectives of celebrities who have gone through the process of Fame have all had their relationships affected by their status both positively and negatively - whether it is a celebrity's relationship with corporations, the concept of Fame or their peers and rivals. This statement is supported by Brian Caswell's novel _Asturias,_ Jay Z and Justin Timberlake's song _Holy Grail,_ and Donna Rockwell's article _'Fame is a Dangerous Drug: a phenomenal glimpse of celebrity"_ all showcase these arguments with textual evidence. In brief, textual evidence have been provided to establish the implications Fame present on a celebrity's relationships.…

In the twenty-first century people are exposed to the media, whether it is the television, films, magazines or tabloid. Those individuals who are considered as celebrities plays an important role in people’s lives by acting as role models for those seeking guidance or advice, also influencing their body image perception with the impact of the neglected to fully appreciate the impacts that celebrities have on issues such as drug use, eating habits and cosmetic appearance. Consequently, many people possess a dream and imagine to become a principal or a famous in different subjects such as sport person, a television presenter or movie star. It is definitely not a bad dream, but I would argue that being a celebrity, whatever the field, brings…
Being famous does not necessary mean bring rich, and vice-versa. Both generally bring satisfaction if brought to one in a positive manner, or in a way he/she intended it to. Because being famous and being rich are both signs leading to success, which in most cases, is the human’s ultimate goal. Being just either rich or famous, other than being a positive thing, could produce highly negative and unwanted end results too. A huge percentage of people are famous as a result of all sorts of negativity, such as criminal acts and negative politics. At the same time, a good part of the world’s drug lords and terrorism-driven groups are fairly rich too. So when does being rich or famous become a good thing? Usually, a combination of being rich and famous, surprisingly, doesn’t do as much harm to coexisting peers, as the former would. Although criminals who fall under lists such as ‘FBI’s Most Wanted’, turn out to be rich and famous, regardless of how they got to where they are. But a bigger portion of the ‘rich and famous’ category are occupied by highly paid movie stars and sportsmen, neither of whom does much harm to the society.…

Almost everybody would like to be famous. It is commonly thought that extremely popular people do not have to face any problems and lead careless lives. We can watch them on the news, we can see their photos in the newspapers and wish we could be them – rich, talented and admired.

When one famous they gain a lot of opportunities but , when one gain this fame some of their privacies and freedoms are taken away. A popular American Pop Star Justin Timberlake, said in an interview, “The worst thing about being famous is the invasion of one’s privacy.” The reason he said this is that when a person is famous one gets a lot of recognition and exposure which makes it hard for one to go out and hang out with friends, do the simple things that make you happy and do hobby or activities that you love to do. Predominantly, the reason for this is because when a famous person goes out that person is constantly being stopped and followed and asked for pictures and autographs. Depending on how famous one is and what they famous for you might not even have time for yourself, especially if you’re going to meetings and tours and things of that nature. A great example are childhood stars such as Michael Jackson. Michael often reminisced how, when he was younger. he wanted to go out and play with the other kids in the neighborhood, but he couldn’t because he had to go practice with his brothers. With that fame , many thought that his lack of a childhood forced him to make so questionable, childish decisions in his life.Therefore, being famous doesn’t always bring you privacy and freedom that makes one truly happy.…
Phenomenom of fame is widespread around the world. Being famous today is not the same as it was 50-100 years ago. Andy Warhol once said : In the future everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. Well, in my opinion, that time has come. People from all around the world are trying to get their way out there on the stage. It has become easy to acquire fame, but difficult to keep it. People get famous for doing nothing and the ones who want to become famous don't have many obstacles on their way. They can just apply on a reality show and soon their names will be on the tops of „the most searched“ lists on Google and Yahoo, and not to mention the yellow press. Little girls and boys from all around the world are, when asked what do they want to be when they grow up, usually answering that they want to be famous. Fame has lost its value. Celebrities with or without justified reasons to be famous are followed by a bunch of paparazzi each day. They are getting interviewed and photographed for worthless magazines intended for masses. Their private lives become a matter of abstraction and are endangered. As for those whose fame is a result of hard work, talent, high IQ or great achievements, their fame is well-earned. Such are, for example, great writers, mathematicians and artists. They are usually the ones who are, no matter how good they are at what they do, less famous than the ones who deserve it less. That is good because they don't need to sacrifice their private lives, they have their freedom of expression + they make a lot of money.…
As far as I’m concerned, I would not like to be famous. There are many reasons why I think so. Firstly, I think, it is very hard to be famous. Every time you must know that you are an example to follow by many. So, you should avoid some situations in which you can’t attract your fans and abandon the usual look. Secondly, every time you can be pursued by paparazzi, that’s why you won’t be able to feel good in your daily life and work. Also, your fans will spy on you in every possible way. You will feel tired giving them your autographs. And lastly and most importantly, everyone will know everything about your life. Your private life will be public and you won’t be able to hide some facts, which are very dear to you.…
