Becoming A Celebrity

People may become celebrities in a wide range of ways: from their professions, following appearances in the media, or even by complete accident. The term "instant celebrity" describes someone who becomes a celebrity in a very short period of time.

Often, the generalization extends to someone who falls short of mainstream or persistent fame but who seeks to extend or exploit it.
