Celebrities are seen through their public personas and the projects they are involved in.

The concept of Celebrity and Fame are ones that affect relationships both positively and negatively.

I agree with Deborah King because she says that celebrities are like our Gods and how we fantasize about how our lives would become there's, my opinion is that we do fantasies and dream about what it would be like to be in a celebrity's shoes, to have money, and be known. For example at one of Katy Perry’s concerts a fan in the audience jump onto the stage and was in tears holding onto Katy like she was the last person on Earth. The fan was escorted out of the auditorium, but the point is she was attacking Katy and security rushed help her get the…
In our modern world, we also obsess over social status, fame and wealth. In an article on the media and celebrity obsession, journalist Katie Ryan writes, “From the marriage of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, to the birth of Britney Spears’ child, our culture values the importance of celebrity. The media, to be specific is obsessed with celebrity and vice versa; due to the power that each holds. When a magazine puts someone famous on its cover, people are more enticed to buy it.” Another example of the media creating celebrity obsession is shown in India,…
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…

“Everyone will have his fifteen minutes of fame,” says Andy Warhol. As today, the definition of the word “celebrity” is no longer associates with the original meaning form the dictionary. Daniel Boors tin, the author of the “Or, What Happened to the American Dream,” restates the definition of the “celebrity” in his book which is “celebrity is a person who is well known for his well-knowingness.” No a doubt, benefited by the modern high-tech media of the celebrities-watching culture has become the national wide or even global wide culture in our small global village.

But now in magazines we see celebrities shopping at the grocery store or driving their cars. Is that really needed? Does our 21st century society really get satisfaction out of seeing these images? If we opened up magazines and saw images of normal people doing everyday tasks and chores we would get bored rather quickly. So why are the gossip magazines filled with these supposedly boring photographs? Perhaps its just because they’re famous or is it…
The 15 minute 'clinique' beauty of the twenty something self described "socialite"? The little "naughty-bits" they sneak in of T&A just under the radar of standards and practices? The self-absorption of the parents? The back-talk and snotty attitudes the children are allowed to give to these parents? The unruliness of a blended family? Or just the idea of taking a peek into the life of "folks with celebrity" and then taking a look at your own life and realizing that mom and dad ....maybe aren't SO bad.…
Celebrities are the role models of many, especially younger aged people. They are idolized and copied. Their actions have some of the biggest influences on our generation, mostly because of the hype created by the media. Their actions are constantly being talked about in the media, and to society's growing youth, this has caused a great problem. They do outrageous things and are often involved in scandals. Their lifestyles themselves are often one big scandal. They are thought of as god-like, so what they do must not be wrong. They are famous, so they are always right; they have to be. This is the perception of American citizens. They think it is okay to imitate celebrities from what they wear to the lives they live, because they are of higher class. They are the role models, even though they are corrupting the morals of people. Especially now with programs such as MTV, celebrities are being exposed everyday, and these innocent children and teens are being forced images and guidelines to follow in order to be like their favorite celebrity. This is a danger to society. It changes and corrupts everyone's morals.…
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.…
