Celebrity Cruises

Big time hollywood actors and actress, Grammy-winning musicians or artists are all household names. Celebrities are consistently praised for their talents, but a lot of them are drug users, alcoholics or criminals. Fame has a way of covering crime and helping people to look past a man’s flaws and see them for their talents. The only art form that this is not the case is in sports, in sports, a man can be one of the best baseball players of all time, play for 24 seasons, collect over 4,000 hits…

Celebrities are just ordinary people everyone knows about. Sometimes they seem more extravagant, high up on their pedestals, but in reality they are human beings. Ty Burr explores the changing face of the celebrity in the excerpt, “The Faces in the Mirror.” In particular, he delves into the modern case of the digital celebrity, with screens everywhere making a new starlet every day. According to Burr, we lose ourselves in the “roiling sea of infotainment” (32). Burr notes that the relationship…

The majority of teenage girls in the 21st century will claim to anyone who will listen that they are someone’s biggest fan, a total fangirl. Usually, this group or person becomes their main obsession, and everything they do revolves around them. Fangirls truly believe that they are the person’s soul mate, even though the obsession may not know it. Contrary to popular belief, fangirls have actually been around for hundreds of years, including back in the Puritan times of 1692. One of the…

post became normal after celebrities started posting pictures of themselves showing skin. For example, Kylie Jenner picture of her brother got 1,709,845 likes, but when she published a photo only wearing a bikini it got 2,521,070 likes.

FANDOM Over the years since television came into the world shows came out after months and years, but over that year, some shows got more attention than any other and that started the fandom on mainly shows that ”intrigued them” and that had started the fandom. Now I wonder how were they created and why they were, not just because they just like the show or movie. How were fandoms created and why people hate them? From what I learned at first, Fandom is a word used to refer to a group…

Have you ever been to see a celebrity up close? Have you ever been less than a hundred feet away from somebody everyone in the country knows? Have you ever waited in line for hours just to get in to see this person? Last year, I went to see Donald Trump when he came to talk in Fredericksburg, and it really changed my views on people and on the media. I believed that the media was only slightly bias, and that people were generally good people, but I was mistaken. I went to the Trump Rally when…

Unlike living celebrities, dead celebrity cannot make another film, television show, musical recording or live or taped performance or statement (holograms, aside); they cannot suddenly interrupt what had been a consistent narrative with an unusual or uncharacteristic narrative-changing statement or incident. But, similar to what Jones writes, it is not that the dead celebrity narrative in the afterlife is unchanging, rather it develops layers of meaning enriching and resounding for some dead…

Celebrities can have a significant influence on consumer choices because they are easy to recognize, many people admire them, and their fans would want to buy any product that they use. For example, a company would want to hire Stephen Curry, a basketball star, to be a spokesperson for Under Armor shoes.

Throughout my life I have seen how people admire artists and singer because for whatever reason these individuals have built their careers for the need. Many singers and artists that appear on tv have started from the bottom, and their stories have impacted the lives of people. I have seen superheroes with superpowers that people have followed for years. But neither the singers, artists, or superheroes have had some influence on me. It took me two years to realize what a great impact one of my…

Fear of being judged by the public exists everywhere. It is human nature to be afraid of being perceived negatively by others. In many cases, the “celebrities” who are the most respected by the community suffer from this fear the most. Because society expects these people to be perfect, it makes it harder for respected individuals to admit their flaws. In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale suffers from this exact fear of being shamed by the public. The world…
