Any medium can be viewed as a vehicle for creating a celebrity culture. The famous religious books of the world's faiths are replete with examples of individuals who are well known by the general public. Some of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt set in motion devices to ensure their own fame for centuries to come. Celebrity culture, once restricted to royalty and biblical/mythical figures, has pervaded many sectors of society including business, publishing, and even academia (the scilebrities). With every scientific advance names have become attached to discoveries. Especially for large contributions to humanity, the contributor is usually regarded honourably. Mass media has increased the exposure and power of celebrity. A trend has developed that celebrity carries with it increasingly more social capital than in earlier times. Each nation or cultural community (linguistic, ethnic, religious) has its own independent celebrity system, but this is becoming less the case due to globalization

Celebrity culture could range from one extreme to the other, but to get to the point, celebrities, are looked upon pretty much in the media and the public eyes as gods and goddesss' which they are just normal people, that just made it big and are in the spotlight, which can be good and bad, so the celebrity culture would be all the stars, the models, the famous, the rich, ect...or someone would want to live in a celebrity culture, rich, famous, always look great, on camera, lol, but, they have their own culture, because if they didn't they are harrassed as it is, they would never have any peace.

A society that has a fascination with celebrities to the point where every aspect of their lives is scrutinised daily by the media. Where they are constantly photographed and analyzed by the media. Where the death of a drug-addict glamour model makes headline news over a war being fought by the country's army. Where the aspiration of many everyday people is fame for fame's sake (not necessarily fame as a result of any discernable talent). Where young people take more interest in the activities of an airhead party girl than they do in any important social, political or religious issues. A society where being chased by paparazzi and having your picture in magazines and on the television is valued above anything else you could possible achieve. A society where many people want to look like, dress like and emulate the life-styles of the famous.

Some people are unknown, and others are well-known in history. A celebrity culture is the structure that influences those deemed celebrities.
