Kardashians

After watching the very first episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians on Tuesday, I've realized how much these celebrities have evolved into what they are today. I believe that some of the members of this family are celebrities. Bruce was an Olympic athlete, which I think constitutes him to be an achieved celebrity. Kim I believe is a celebrity as well... regardless of what others say. I think this because clearly she is not a celetoid... because she has been in the media for a long time now. I would say she is an attributed celebrity because of her sex tape scandal, but she has become an achieved celebrity today through all her modeling, television shows, and publicity. The little sisters, Kendall and Kylie, I believe are ascribed celebrities but are becoming achieved celebrities. They were born from already famous parents who decided to keep them in the media, whereas many celebrities, such as Michael Jackson, try to keep their children away from the media. Now these girls are becoming very successful models. The Kardashian's and the Jenner's I believe are celebrities, whether they were born into it, worked for it, or did something that made them famous. After watching the first episode in class, I believe they continue to achieve their fame through small quirks that make them stick out in the media, such as Kim's sex tape or Kourtney's $5000 extensions. These quirks are things that entertain the viewers because not everyone has the ability to buy million dollar rings, drive fancy range rovers, or are born with large behinds like Kim.
