Traditionally, "Celebrity" was a by product of being "celebrated" in your sphere - as an actor, musician, writer etc. Implying that you were really good, people loved what you did and you became famous as a side-effect of this.
But in the UK the tabloids are currently blabbering on about:
Jade Goody : Famous for being on Big Brother and being a gobby chav.
Jade Goody's mum: Famous for being Jade Goody's mum
Peter Andre: Was a 90s popstar, now famous for being married to a topless model
Jodie March: Famous for getting her t.its out
Charlotte Church: Was a cute kiddie singer, now famous for drinking a lot and swearing on her rubbish "chat" show
Coleen McLoughlin and the other WAGS: Famous for dating footballers.
Danielle Lloyd: Famous for being a disqualified Miss UK and dating a footballer - and being a b.itch on Celeb Big Bruv
Jo O'Meara: has-been from a defunct pop group.
Is this just good publicity? Or do Brits genuinely love people who are famous for being famous?!
