Why are they Celebrities?

Call me stupid...but seriously why are actors considered celebrities?

What have they done besides get on stage or in front of a camera? They get payed millions while the avarage American must work is ass off to make 80k in a single year or even lower.

What about all those solders in Iraq who are risking their lives everyday? Are they not heros and celebreties?

So tell me...what is so great about these so called celebrities?

they entertain us, don't they? don't you watch movies? and it isn't like acting is easy.. they go through a lot.. but it's life everyone goes through a lot! I mostly admire celebrities for doing what they do, and a lot of celebrities give money to charities and try to help. I admire anyone who works hard and helps others.. whether it is celbrities, regular people, or soldiers..

they inspire us, they give us sumthing to look up to, they help us in chareties, they're wonderfull to look at. they keep us preoccupide, etc

they give us a lot of stuff. They're wonderful people.

Because people "celebrate" watching them.....and don't have a real life.? 😑

People like be entertained.......but they are not the real HERO'S.......And I don't think they should be treated sooooo special......Soldiers....NOW...THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING UP TO.......

The celebrity status is donned on them by the public, the tabloids and the media.

Most of them dont like all the attention they get in the long run, and envy the 'normal' people.

I conciser soldier celebs. THEY ARE. they get better funerals than the Stars of TV. And most movie stars PLAY soldiers in movie. Half of the stars of today got there big breaks in movies playing soldiers.

And Batman ✅

Anyways, it is actually quite easy, they are celebrities because people celebrate them........and they make that much money because millions of people pay ten bucks to see them on screen...so they quite deserve that money.....Soldiers and Teachers would get the same amount of money if millions of people would pay ten bucks to get shot or educated by them......but they don't......

There is a difference between TV/movie programs and people who try to make a difference....

Yes, yes debbie.......very good....my question still stands though ...why is someone that just does their job a hero? And even more why do Politicians get Peace Nobel Prizes although it is their damn job to bring peace......

Because its not a politician his or her job to bring peace, its just something some of them want to do and they get a prize for that. If a normal human being does more to promote peace then they will get the price.

Now teachers are great people but they are not hero's they do their job. Soldiers are not hero's either they do their job too. Some of them may be brave or great while doing so but in essence they are all doing what they should be doing. A soldier a teacher a singer or an actor. It doesn't matter they do what they should do, and those actors happen to entertain millions of people while doing so, that makes them popular. That makes them known, that makes them what they are. They are entertainers thats all they are, and they manage to do it on a level higher then most other people. They deserve the title of celebrities far more then any soldier or teacher.

Soldiers and teachers are not special. They do not entertain the masses, you don't celebrate when you see them. Maybe you should but you don't. They are not nor will they ever be celebrity's. They are not known enough they don't entertain enough they aren't considered important enough. Foolish perhaps but true.

How does that equal being deserving? No one deserves to be a billionaire when there are billions of people on Earth who earn less than a dollar a day.

Actually they do....because they are wioth that amount of money to someone. The communistic ideal of equality is a scary scenario, why should everyone have the same...maybe I am crazy but Christian Bale that entertained me a good 2 hours in the batman movie is worth my ten bucks while some beggar on the streets of Delhi just isn't...if he is worth that for you great...go ahead...give him your money....but it's a free universe and I don't think I should be forced to adapt your set of values.
