There is a universe of difference between being 'celebrated' for one's unique, or at least rare, talents or skills, and being famous for nothing other than being famous. I think most of us could recognize the difference between celebrity that is earned and celebrity that is conferred without merit. The Hall of Fame athlete, the award winning actor, writer or musician and the Nobel laureate do not occupy the same plane as people such as Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian or even Donald Trump, prior to his election. Either way, regardless of their celebrity status, their shit stinks and, when wearing them, they put their pants on one leg at time.
