A celebrity is a widely known individual. Actors and musical artists are often considered celebrities. While some celebrities are famous for discoveries or works that benefit humanity, increasingly the liberal media are promoting and extolling 'celebrities' who have no real achievements to their credit: reality TV 'stars', relatives of the rich and famous, and those who are 'famous for being famous'. Great amounts of attention are paid to the immodesty, the drug-taking habits and promiscuous relationships of such 'celebrities', without any moral disapproval of such behaviour being voiced.
