How many types of celebrities are there?
There are lots of different kinds of celebrities from singers and actors to bloggers, fiction writers, humanitarians, models, and even chefs. To become a celebrity, you have to pick an area to become a celebrity in. Simply ‘being a celebrity’ isn’t going to get you very far, as it is too vague a goal to work towards.
What is the difference between a celebrity and a famous person?
Celebrities are often highly visible in the media, appearing on TV, in magazines, and on social media. They may also attend events and parties where they can be seen by the public. Famous people may have a lower profile, with less media attention and fewer public appearances.
