The state of being widely discussed or publicly esteemed. Celebrities are usually famous for their work in the arts, such as actors, singers and writers, or sports stars or major-league politicians. They can also be known for their private lives, such as reality TV starlets or people who go into outer space. Celebrities often have a large number of fans and devotees.
A person who achieves celebrity is a celeb, and it is often said that everyone gets his or her 15 minutes of fame. The idea of celebrities was first popularized in Hollywood film, where a star was given greater economic power because audiences could see them up close and decide whether they liked them or not. The ambiguity between the ideas of fame and anonymity was reinforced by the advent of reality television, in which nobodies become celebrities almost instantly, then try to keep their newfound fame for as long as possible.
