Okay, so maybe celebrities are a bit junky when it comes to outside stardom ventures, but who would’ve guess that Lindsay Lohan will be joining those ranks? Recently, the famous controversial actress released a gaming app called The Price of Fame which is somehow mocking Kim Kardasian: Hollywood. In this game, you simply need to swipe as fast as you can to gain more fans and coins. These fans and coins can be used as in-game money to buy stuff that could improve your ability to get more fans. Unlike Kim’s game, Lindsay’s The Price of Fame mechanics is pretty simple. Just swipe like there’ no tomorrow and you’ll get everything. The game was originally based on the game developer, Andy Ross’s, Make it Rain: The Love of Money which also runs on swiping mechanics. …show more content…
He wasn’t even that sure on which celebrity could perfectly portray the game. Then suddenly, he thought of Lindsay Lohan. According to TechCrunch, Ross wanted Lohan to embody the game because he thinks “she said a few things on the press” that easily gained attention. And with that, Lindsay Lohan’s game was born. Celebrity-based games are slowly becoming hits in consumers’ perspective. This is because: • Their popularity is a given leverage – Celebrities will always have an upper-hand when it comes to apps. Just sneak in their name on your app and you can expect a lot of buzz in an instant. • The more controversial, the better – There are a lot of celebrity app that were already released on the App Store, Google Play or the Amazon. But what makes others more popular than the rest is that the names that are incorporated on the apps are more
Celebrity endorsements can make or break a product and even a company. Especially in today’s world many teens will buy a product just predominantly based on who endorses it. For example, Beyoncé promotes both Pepsi and H&M. She is a great representative for both because she is a really big celebrity and she is very well known. She also has a lot of influence. Young girls would love to dress like her and with H&M endorsing her they get that demographic. Pepsi made a good choice because she, like the previous celebrities they endorsement deals with, is a very public figure with a very big name. Many teens and young ...
Lindsay Lohan is a prime example of a tragic hero because of how she increasingly let her arrogance influence her actions and behaviors throughout time. Her early life presented she had everything she needed for a promising future, and though the pinnacle of her life didn’t last long, it was fulfilled her to the highest extent. Herself, and the people and events she encountered in her life led her to her downfall infused with her infamous tragedies. Lindsay Lohan’s fatal flaw caused her to stray away from her promising future and delve into a world of mistakes.
Every one of these people are more talented than a million Kardashians combined yet, their ideas are never heard. Kim on the other hand, she created an app that raked in a cool $85 million. Now, if it did something worthwhile, that would be one thing. However, it was a useless pile of garbage.
In a world where billionaires and celebrities can have more influence over the public than government, the word power has become interchangeable with success. Although many of us have fantasized of our lives if we were famous, the majority of the population have given up on the notion of becoming famous, and have become more realistic towards future dreams and desires. However, what qualities drive people of fame to do things that keep their name out in the eye of the public? People desire power. Genuine power is the ability to influence.
Being famous is one of those things that can really keep one hooked. The big checks, fancy events, and a loyal fanbase are just some of the pleasures that come with stardom. But every so often, there are stars such as Nicki Minaj who are drunk on the attention and want more of it.
Celebrities can have significant influence on consumer choices because they’re admired by many and consumers trust their judgement. For example, Taylor Swift advertised iTunes music. This celebrity is famous for her amazing vocals and hit songs. In this advertisement, Taylor is jogging on a treadmill while listening and singing along to iTunes music. The iTunes music is so intriguing, she falls off the treadmill while singing along. Consumers might be encouraged to purchase iTunes music from this advertisement due to people thinking that if Taylor Swift enjoys this product enough to fall off the treadmill, it’s probably amazing. Taylor Swift is a celebrity after all, so maybe this product is special. Therefore, consumers are influenced by this
“Wealth, as a byproduct of fame, provides immediate, tangible evidence of celebrity’s distinction and staying power. Fame’s windfall goes a long way in lifting financial burdens, opening the celebrity to experiences that are special. Money is no longer a “worry,” and provides “the glory side, the financial side of being famous.” Some celebrities go from “not being able to afford a home,” to multi-million dollar contracts. They are our royalty.”, according to Donna Rothwell’s essay “Being a Celebrity; A Phenomenology of Fame”(Rothwell page 191).Basically, wealth dissolves the concern regarding financial status that the average citizen feels 24/7.Like most people, to acquiring such assets does provide a sense of a luxurious life. It is
It cannot be put in better terms but, “Whether it's the sex tape's doing or not, Kim is a household name. An entrepreneur. A budding singer. A sometime actress. A designer. A perfumista. And everything in between. In late November 2010, she was even hired by Charmin to open up a new bathroom in Times Square. Now that's famous. (And kind of weird.) Her wedding to Kris Humphries pulled in $18 million in one day. There are obvious downsides to living your life, and love, in the public eye; Kim filed for divorce after 72 days of marriage.” (Wetpaint.com) Even Kim has her own theory about how she rose to fame, “"It started when I went out on a date with Nick Lachey," Kim writes in Kardashian Konfidential. "Of course the paparazzi took pictures, because people were curious about who he was with. So the next night I was out with Paris Hilton," she continues. "We were in her car and the paparazzi started taking pictures. Usually they would shout, 'Paris! Paris! Paris!' [But] they started yelling 'Kim! Kim! Kim!' I wanted to hide, and Paris and I just looked at each other and laughed. She said, 'Whatever you do, just smile.' I thought, this is so weird, I don't know what’s going on. It was surreal." Maybe the question of why Kim is famous is an open-ended one. Maybe her rise to fame is based on multiple
Part of the reasons why celebrities become so popular is promoting. The average person wouldn’t buy music from an artist they didn’t know; therefore, it becomes the artist's job to become a greatly recognized figure. Not only are musicians selling the products they hold, but they are also selling themselves. The more popular they are in the media, the more fame, the more money. No one handed Nicki Minaj the title she has today, she took it after years of work, dedication, and putting herself out there. Just as many other things in life, there is a

Over the last few decades celebrity and fame has changed dramatically, from Alexander the Great to Kim Kardashian. Talent and achievements no longer play a huge role when it comes to our celebrities. “Much modern celebrity seems the result of careful promotion or great good looks or something besides talent and achievement” (Epstein2) with that being said celebrity-creation has blossomed into an industry of its own. Keeping up with all the gossips from breaking up to hooking up, law suits and drama many might come to an agreement that celebrity culture is starting to be the great new art form in our new generation and that it ...
Media and television have set high expectations for living that many people desire to attain through the accumulation of wealth.

Certain aspects of the human condition such as aspiration, growth, and conflict can all be found in simple types of literature pieces we see everyday: comic strips, articles, and poems.
