Overview

Celebrities have evolved from being a minor aspect of society to playing a significant role in reflecting and defining our culture-it is an inescapable phenomenon for anyone with access to newspapers, radio, the Internet, or television. We have even made celebrities out of nobodies, including William Hung, the tryout failure on American Idol, and the partying cast of Jersey Shore.
