Celebrity

Many thanks to Victoria Ellis for inspiration.

What is a celebrity?

The dictionary tells us it is:

noun (plural celebrities)

• a famous person, especially in entertainment or sport:he became a sporting celebrity[as modifier]:a celebrity chef
•  [mass noun] the state of being well known:his prestige and celebrity grew

So, we must assume that programmes featuring ‘celebrities’ would feature people that we have all heard of or seen before. But no. Who are they? I’ll have to look them up online to find out.

Disappointing.

And if I don’t know who they are, Mr. Whinge would be even more clueless. He actually asked me who Charlotte Church was tonight. The man lives in a vacuum.
