Celebrity Publicity

The desire for money is the fifth function in celebrity publicity. It is the idea that publicity can build itself. Many individuals are not celebrities in the beginning, but after being seen in the public at different events and parties the public begins to take notice and eventually dim the individuals as celebrities. Kim Kardashian, daughter of famous attorney who helped O.J. Simpson to be found innocent after being charged with the murder of Nicole Simpson, is a great example of this idea. Although Kim Kardashian is considered to be an heiress, she was not made famous among the public until a public sex tape of the heiress was uncovered. After this, she has become a household name. Kim Kardashian is a model and star of the hit reality show “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” The publicity she has been receiving has made her into a celebrity. The publicity itself built her into a star. Other celebrities that can be placed in this category are Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. They were made famous by being at every party and red carpet event. After being photographed over and over again, they both became deemed as celebrities. The public curiosity of wanting to know who individuals are after they have been in the media catapults most to celebrity status.
