"The definition of celebrity has become much more elastic in recent times, taking in not just genuine, famous-for-a-good-reason celebrities, like movie stars or pop singers, but also, in some cases, their spouses, siblings, parents, friends and people they've slept with."
"According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a celebrity is defined as 'a well-known or famous person, especially in entertainment or sport, who attracts interest from the general public and attention from the mass media.'"
The concept of celebrity has evolved significantly, now encompassing not only well-known figures in entertainment and sports but also their family members and acquaintances. The Oxford English Dictionary defines a celebrity as a famous person who garners public interest and media attention. This definition has become more inclusive, reflecting a broader understanding of fame that includes those connected to celebrities, such as spouses, siblings, and friends, regardless of their own achievements.
