a counter argument...

ok, clarification!!
It was pointed out to me...
"You can't tell me that all celebrities are normal or "usual"....they're all unusual, individuals.....if they were the norm they wouldn't be celebrities. Even crazy people like Kate Gosslin are celebrity because they are different...The Beatles were different...Michael Jackson...just a thought....maybe her being different makes her more like other celebrities"


SO TRUE! And i'm definitely not saying it isn't! I just think that there is a world that Taylor gets put into, that a lot of celebrities get put into that stereotypes them as being the same. Call it Hollywood, call it Disney, call it whatever you want, theres a lot of pressure there to conform. This aside, it is true that Celebrities in definition are unique, if they weren't, well then we probably wouldn't know who they are!

Synonym of celebrity- Distinction. I think that is a good way to describe it. However, although celebrities may be unique, how many Kate Gosselins have we known? How many The Beatles (not musically of course, but just in form) have we known? There is a typology there all its own. And within that typology, there are people who stand out and people who conform. Thats' all.
