Our idea of celebrity has become perverted to the point that it’s no longer even pseudo-celebrity. It’s no longer even Paris Hilton the celebrity, it’s Perez Hilton the celebrity. It’s no longer even Steve Jobs the celebrity, it’s Fake Steve Jobs the celebrity. Indeed, we have rocketed so far outside the universe that we don’t even know what celebrity is, was, or could be.
Celebrity has long ago swallowed itself and we need to redefine what we mean by the term every time we use it. There is no archetype, only illusion.
