Who will be the next media star?

We've had quite a few over the years. The Beatles and Elvis are obvious standouts: if they'd had modern global media they'd have been bigger than the Kardashians or Lady Gaga. Prince Charles's first wife is another. Is there anyone who can't name her?
We can put Donald Trump on the list too, now that his star is waning. But I'm waiting to see who's up next. I'm really hoping it won't just be someone famous for being famous.

Nominations please.

I was wondering about the definition of celebrity?

Celebrity - someone who is famous, especially in the entertainment business.

Celebrity status - the prominence of film star, footballer, musician etc who is constantly photographed and written about in tabloids and magazines.

So once the tabloids lose interest in a person they cease to be a celebrity?

Sports are on the decline.

People are tired of obsessing over so called famous people.

World War 3 cometh.

Idolatry is dead.

Media won’t be what most of us expect.

My daughter has nearly 150,000 followers on TikTok and makes real money between video views, live tarot readings, and advertising her Etsy page...enough to pay rent.

It’s a different world.

Exactly.

People want real people.
Not so called famous Stars that are pushed on the poor to make the poor feel good or cave to idolatry 🙄

Anyone who idolizes another person who they don't know personally is pathetic.

Too many candidates Earl. There will probably be loads of little ones using social media rather than one big celebrity anti-christ. That's old school. 😃
