Isn’t celebrity associated with fame acquired by hard work, thus recognised for their (celebrities) dedication and zeal in their field of entertainment, thereby inspiring the rest of us to pursue a like wise career path? If so how can the following be celebrities?
Paris Hilton (USA) heiress [we can’t be heiress even if we wished hard enough], Chantelle Houghton (UK) Big Brother non-celebrity forced down our throat and Jade Goody (UK) voted the UK's ugliest female celebrity on Kerrang! Radio.

A celebrity is a person who is widely recognized in a society. Fame is one prerequisite for celebrity status, but not always sufficient. For example, as "infamy" has passed out of common English usage, high-profile criminals, or in this case people with no talent at all,may be considered to be famous, but they are not always celebrities.

A celebrity is someone with an extremely over inflated ego that has trouble functioning unless attention is on them 24 hours a day in the form of groveling. They also are mislead by their yes-men (who they pay to have around to agree with them on everything) that they have intelligence when in fact they have virtually none at all.

Celebrity (noun) a rich and or famous person, who is idolized by many. Often a poor role model of judgement. Usually a mindless slave to culture. They often have the inluence of presidents and (during this presidential term) the intelligence of presidents.

Somebody everyone knows...we recognize their eyes, their hair, their teeth, their boobs (if applicable), their nose. They're in the media and are known for either a talent or something they've done that's good or shocking. They have face and name recognition. Anybody famous is a celebrity.
