After class I was looking more into the different kinds of celebrity online. I found a definition that talked about a celebrity being a person of public fascination. I couldn't help but wonder what kind of about people make the public fascinated with them. I mean why do we seriously care about the Jersey Shore cast when all we do is watch them drink and have sex on television. Why do we care that Tiger Woods was cheating on his wife? Why do we care that Andrew Luck is very athletic?
In class we obviously learned that there are different ways of becoming a celebrity: attribution, achievement, and attainment. But when it comes to something like achievement. why do we care about a person's achievements? People make personal achievements every day so what about celebrities makes theirs so different and fascinating? After some thought I have come up with a few theories, nothing solid though. So, why do we care?
