Media & Celebrities
One hundred years ago, people became famous for what they had achieved. Today's celebrities,however, often do not become known for any enduring（永久的） achievement, they are simply famous for being famous with the help of the media. They are distingnished by their image or trademark and they have nothing great but a big name. That is to say, the focus of public attention has begun to shift away from knowing what such people did to knowing what they looked like.
With the arrival of television, the faces of all kinds of celebrites became as familiar as those we saw across the breakfast table. We came to know more about the lives of our favorite celebrities than we did about most of the people we know personally, no matter they are movie stars, fashion models, professional athletes, and even cartoon characters.【www.qidian55.com】
In a word, celebrities are created by the media, and they are exactly like us except for the attention they get from the media.
