who really is a celebrity?
  • <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling Eyes" /><!-- s:roll: -->
  • To me, a celebrity is one who's got a high level of popularity or achievement within the society.
  • Being a celebrity doesn’t really have a proper definition.
    Celebrity is a JOB………………
    Celebs as said by ADMIN are people that matters in the society, maybe not to everyone but they are known one way or the other
    My definition; celebs are news….period
    Celebs are news you hear about them everyday and almost every time, they’re either good or bad
    Believe me the Bad ones sell more than the Good ones,
    The good ones are everybody’s’ favourites but they people hardly support them cause they’re cause are usually not everybody’s problem e.g. fighting against cancer and all that….not everybody suffers from cancer, but the bad guys go like starting a f***** up reality show about sex and money everybody buys in cause that’s what we love but we hate them still….

    Celebs are respectable and as well most hated people in the society…
    They’re in various works of life,

    Politics (govt officials, executives, traditional leaders, social leaders, legal activist)

    Entertainment industry (music, arts, movie, fashion, cosmetology, e.t.c)

    Human welfare (philanthropist, social activist, medical practitioners)

    Basically celebs are the most outstanding or the worst people in a particular field, who have the conscience of the public in heart, so they may be hated or loved but they are known cause they always wanted to do something for the public whether positive or negative…..ABACHA is a celeb, he’s rich, had one of the most respected post in this country and of cause popular and madam EKUNDAYO well most of you may not know her but she’s been serving all her life helping orphans in her region and so far the light is on her now (TY BELLO SANG A SONG FOR HER AND HER CAUSE “ EKUNDAYO” ), you’ll be making the list short if you think by mentioning our popular noise makers (musicians) , you know them already…. So add them to the list…… Eehen SAMUEL PETERS despite he got knocked out and ran away from the fight cos he couldn’t see again is a celeb….beaten or not….him enter record……LOL
  • lol... the guy see better giant he run....lol
  • guy support our fallen heroes
  • abeg oh... fallen heroes na for only war.... samuel peters na still my guy sha!
  • but na fallen hero too, e no easy to fall make you take off say you no do again.........LOL
  • To me, a celebrity is one who's got a high level of popularity or achievement within the society.</p></div></blockquote>

    You forgot to add positive before achievement <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

    Those are popular people. not celebrities.
    Celebrities are celebrated and for you to be celebrated.
    you must have done something positive.
  • @ashewo

    i disagree...period....NEED MORE PROOFS
  • thats not true oh... any body at all thats popular is a celebrity... otherwise, when formerly good people change their status and go bad, do they loose their gossip-worthiness in the eye of the public?....lol
  • ALhaji ADEDIBU was a celebrity................you may not have liked him but alot of people looked up to him and no all of them were touts and politicians.........what really makes a celeb is the their effort towards affecting the public
  • Please, do not mix up being influential and being a celebrity.
  • no believe me, these people contribute to their society with a heart of helping people, now what they do for a living may not be what you call.................your system orientated, buttie coated achievements.......... being influcial may just put you on the map with less work than you getting recognize as a celeb for working hard...........{example though our culture differs}check paris Hilton, what on earth did she do to be a celeb, just a rich mans kid that did a sex tape and everybody have a fuss about it, then from there she one thing everyone is talking about........ so being influencial is just a part of it..

    gotcha ya back....bro.......no dulling for easy street
  • Paris Hilton is a celebrity because there are some people that actually likes her. Yeah, she got popular because she is rich, but she still did some acting that got her noticed.

    I'll have to admit you have some points there but I firmly believe that while celebrities are influential, not every influential person can be called a celebrity.
  • well what ever you say can't change the way people see these guys.........don't you know you're a celebrity yourself....you bear a name no one dares to bear here.........LOL
