I keep hearing and reading about these non-entities who people refer to as "celebrities".
Surely, by their very definition, a celebrity should be a person who has done something worth celebrating, no? I don't think appearing on a crappy "reality" TV show for fifteen minutes consitutes as a reason for celebration.
How about the guy who invented penecillin. Surely that's better. Or, how about Mahatma Ghandi Day? Why are these nobodies allowed to intrude in to my life? I don't care what these faceless, talentless peons buy in the shops, or what diet they think I should be on this year. Why are they deemed "celebrities" when they clearly are not?

I agree with you.My idea of what the word celebrity means is -a person who can sway the attention of the world by having enough money to look beautiful cosmetically and enough charisma to get themselves noticed!

Different translations of the bible would suggest love and charity are synonmus. Examples found in.1st Corrinthians ch. 13 vs. 1-17 illustrate this many times. I would enjoy hearing from a scholar of the languages used in those past times to clarify my understanding. The story of the "World's Poorest Philanthropist", Gilbert "Harold" Ewing II (myself) is the reason for this querry. The " act of grace", or charity, reffered to in the news interview, has posited this question and I lack the sort of education to provide any insights of true value.

In my little mind, "celebrity" means, someone who gets paid a lot of money to play make believe all day. They are just kids in grown-up, usually beautiful bodies. They still are spoiled and bratty. I agree that the truly important people should be "celebrities" but perhaps heroes is a better term for them.

A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention.

*sigh*.......yep. You're right? How are we to argue? The definition means "a widely known person" though, that's all.......
