which came first the celetoid or the celeactor?

In our current pop media culture it is difficult to determine who and what qualifies as a celebrity. With the rise of reality TV, which has to the potential to lead some “celebrities” into other forms of fame, a new question arises...which came first the celetoid or the celeactor? In class this week this quest was applied to Kim Kardashian. and there was our class did not come to a consensus. However, I think, the same question can be applied to someone like Kelly Clarkson, or any “talent”/reality television character, because with out question someone like Kelly Clarkson has talent but she became a celebrity because she was on American Idol. There are a lot of crazy, outrageous, talented people but what makes these people different from someone like a “Kelly Clarkson”. I am, still unsure what the answer to this question is, all I can conclude is that before the rise of reality TV it was a lot easier to determine who was a celebrity and why and how they come to reach celebrity. It was easier to determine because more than likely if you were a celebrity you were so because you has some kind of talent, therefore, celebrity was reached through achievement. So now the question, to me still remains unanswered, in terms of people like Kim Kardashian. or Kelly Clarkson...which came first celetoid or celeactor?
