As far as I'm concerned, a celebrity needs to have done something noteworthy and worthwhile. They need to have earned respect in their particular field. Nowadays, the term celebrity is grossly overused. People become celebrities for standing in the checkout queue behind the sister of someone whose next-door neighbour went on holiday to the same resort as a man whose second cousin twice removed used to drink in the same pub as ataxi driver who once drove someone whose school friend's sister claimed to have slept with a man whose uncle failed the audition for X-factor!!! So, I guess we could all be celebrities via a similar route??

hummm what I think makes a celebrity. I think is fame being famous and very known. It's like when someone is on TV all the time I think they will eventually become a celebrity everyone will know them, then like them. Well being famous. Thats what I think makes a celebrity. Hey thats my own opinion.. It's what ever. haha. Take Care.^_^ lol..

I guess it's the charisma and the personality trait which makes one a celebrity. The fans simply want to see them again and again. They themselves may not want all the attention, but it's their fans and well-wishers who never seem to leave them alone. I agree, that only being a public figure is not enough and it the compulsion for every celebrity to contribute to the society (their fans) something which is in their capacity. Yeah, some celebrities are short-lived and can't really be called celebrity. People tend to forget them after a while. True celebrities are the one's people remeber all their lives.

I think you're right. Its the true celebrities who live on in people's memories.
