Celebrity status 101

I think the meaning of a celebrity today is much different then it was 20 years ago. Now, almost anyone can become a celebrity or gain celebrity statue for at least a certain amount of time. Decades ago, celebrities where only actors and actresses or icons like Marilyn Monroe. Now, reality tv is suh a popular genre that almost anyone an become famous. Take jersey shore- none of the cast have taken acting classes yet people see them as celebrities. This is is a very interesting concept because although these shows are known as reality shows, many of the cast members are old what to say and how to act, also including product placement. This in a way is acting but if we consider that acting then the cast isn't doing a dry good job. The kardashians are famous for some unknown reason. Kim is a model- but not a supermodel, just a normal model. The rest of the family jut wanders around spending money on frivolous things and this is recorded. I one of those people that will watch the show at times but it is more for entertainment purposes than anything else.
