In Warhol’s sixty years, he could have never predicted the magnitude of possibilities fame now allows. True talent like that of Warhol is much different than the commonplace “talent” we find in society today. The reason for past talent subsisting longer than the cliché fifteen minutes is that artistry is forever. Singers will never lose their tune, artists will never lose their creativity, and actors will never lose their stage presence. Real talent is a gift and does not have a time limit. Sadly, the audience of the twenty-first century is more interested in inept entertainment than genuine ability.
Interest can be sparked through an advanced array of “talent” searching methods. From YouTube, blogging, to Twitter- a new star can be made as soon as one can click “upload.” Becoming a celebrity appeared as an unreachable feat in past decades, reserved for only those brilliant with accessible well-known relations. But today, having your face plastered on ENews! to People Magazine can be achieved through just buying a computer. Making a goofy face behind a news reporter or a six-year old teaching her YouTube audience “How to get a Boyfriend,” can be just stimulating enough to reach star status. Our culture looks for anything (and I mean anything) to talk about.
I believe the most disappointing aspect of our fame-hungry society is how easily we are amused. We gasp at pre-scripted fights between Botox-seeping middle-aged broads. Meaningless topics have now become the depth of our everyday conversations like hearing that The Kardashians are having another season for forty million. The Kardashians, for example, are of the many one-celled celebrities, who cannot sing, paint, act, or even walk and talk at the same time, yet America waits by their Twitters for their every move. America is unable to live without being cluttered with useless advertised time-consumers.
Remember that weird shape you can make with your tongue? Video it, tomorrow you could reach millions of

    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.

    “Our preoccupation with fame is at least partly explained by our immersion in a media-saturated world that constantly tells us, as Braudy described it, “we should [be famous] if we possibly can, because it is the best, perhaps the only, way to be.””(Chaudhry 635) While a lot of people are fascinated by the self-expression and democracy facilitated by the new technology that is constantly being developed in society today in this new blogger democracy, Lakshmi Chaudhry published an article titled “Mirror, Mirror On the Web” to argue how the medias have rapidly evolved into tools for one to become famous. She is worried that self-expression has fallen effortlessly into self-promotion. The media culture made people; especially the young people’s appetite for being seen and getting renowned become stronger than ever before.…

    America’s obsession with celebrities ― people who attract public interest through industry manipulations, charm or talent (O’Shaughnessy, Stadler, 424) ― and tendency to view them as the epitome of American success give high profile celebrities an ability to reinforce societal values and influence perception. With a combined net worth of over $300 million, the Kardashian-Jenner family serves as one such entity as every member is capable of commanding an incredible following. Kim Kardashian alone holds the record for the most followers on Instagram with 75.4 million followers (Kardashian). On top of 43 product…

    People believe that when celebrities use social media it forces upon us a false sense of intimacy and closeness that does not actually exist. Social media makes us think that the stars we love really are just like us because it appears as though these celebrities are making themselves seem like less of a “star” and more like a normal human being. Sure, we see their life on an intimate level through personal pictures and tweets that they choose to post, but in comparison to our friends, we know next to nothing about these celebrities. With that being said, although social media, such as Twitter, has allowed us to have more access to celebrity’s personal lives, we are only exposed to the information…

    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.

    These days it seems that the Internet, a post-modern medium, something so complex and vital to our society as being reduce to a mere antiquity of personal feuds and interactive relationships (or at least the satisfaction of what seems like a relationship) between people. The rise of social media applications like Twitter and Facebook allows people to voice their opinions to wider audience, creating a pluralist, postmodern medium in which questions raised about the impact of mediated relationships have surely increased. What is particularly interesting about Twitter (and to a lesser extent Facebook) is the newfound proximity we ‘normal people’ have to modern celebrities. These Celebrities once performed their professional duties at a distance and were only accessible through one-way relationships; third parties such as tabloids, TV shows, and interviews. Now, however they are within our reach. Newsstand and tabloids enjoyed being filled with negative portrayal of celebrities: Twitter acts as a way for celebrities let their fans know what is happening in their lives, circumventing (equally) biased third parties, and allowing them to portray their own Star Persona.…

    Often, people fail to remember that celebrities are just humans like everyone else. Fans put celebrities on a pedestal, idolizing them perhaps realizing it or not realizing it. If a favored celebrity makes a decision, children all across America may feel the need to make the same decision, regardless if it is morally a good or bad idea.75% of young adults idolize celebrities and consider them role models (Shaw et al. 577). This is an issue due to the heavy amount of influence a celebrity’s decision may bring to young viewers and that can impact young viewers. For example, research found that listening to explicit music can bring abrasive and harsh actions. Likewise, being consumed with a celebrity and their actions can cause people to alter and change their own behavior to resemble the celebrity more accurately (Shaw et al. 576). Celebrity obsession can cause a young admirer to make negative behavior decisions such as drug abuse or developing an eating disorder.…
