through scandals, social media, or simply being born into wealth. Celebrities illustrate this image of perfection and happiness when in reality they hold the same flaws as the average person. Society merely places them on a pedestal. Celebrity culture is when society glorifies certain people for having talents or attributes that society deems exceptional.

and disadvantages to a celebrity life. Some of the advantages that I will evince later on in the essay are: money, popularity, good press in magazines; however, some of the disadvantages that I, too, will evince later on are: privacy intrusions, harassment and childrens’ privacy (children of the celebrities).

The Oxford English Dictionary defines a celebrity as a “celebrated person,” “much extolled or talked about [OED, 2014].” Wikipedia defines a celebrity as “a person who commands a significant degree of public attention [accessed May 9th, 2014]” However, these definitions are less than complete, as we don’t usually call Adolf Hitler a celebrity even though he still, to this day, is much talked about and commands public attention from the grave; the same could be said of Osama bin Laden, or Joseph Kony
As our society has become more modern and advanced, there has been an increase in the desire to acquire more material wealth. There are several examples of this phenomenon present in society. Celebrities in the entertainment industry help to fuel the world's desire for material materialistic gain by flaunting themselves publicly.

skimpily clad young women, many of them celebrities. My mouth continues to widen as I see that many of the celebs, not content with being featured once, appear repeatedly flashing slightly more flesh than they should be. Is this to be the future for all the young women on this planet? Even if the answer to this is no, it would seem that 'flashing the flesh' has become rather more commonplace than any of us can imagine, especially among the celebrities in the world. But what can any young girl

to have stable and successful careers as adults, our contention here is that a lot of celebrities who were exposed to the limelight at a young age become scarred for life by their early success and fame and tend to compensate for the childhood they were deprived of during their later years in life. There is a central notion that there seems to be a mysterious curse surrounding child stars. These young celebrities are often described as having ‘too much too young’ or being ‘scarred for life’ by success
where they eat, who they date and often whether or not they wear underpants. We have followed them down their road to self destruction and have been waiting at the door when they leave prison, rehab or the hospital. A star’s quest for fame and celebrity is often a trade off that comes with a costly price tag; despite their mega paychecks it is a price even they cannot afford. The price of fame comes at the expense of their personal life and privacy. For as long as there has been the art of entertainment
