1. Celebrities LV
A celebrity is a widely-recognized or famous person who commands a high degree of public and media attention. The word stems from the Latin adjective celeber meaning famous or celebrated. While fame is generally considered a necessary precondition for celebrity status, it is not always sufficient. There has to be a level of public interest in the person, which may or may not be connected to the reason they are famous. Many celebrities are only so for a certain amount of time, perhaps after appearing on a television program or doing something to cast them into the public eye, such as rowing the Atlantic Ocean or being the first to do something. There are also specialist celebrities, who are only celebrities to those who enjoy a particular subject and so consider them a celebrity.
A public figure such as a politician or CEO may be famous, but they may not become a celebrity unless public and mass media interest is piqued. For example Virgin Director Richard Branson was famous as a CEO, but he did not become a global celebrity until he attempted to circumnavigate the globe in a hot air balloon. On the other hand, mass entertainment personalities such as soap opera actors or music stars are likely to become celebrities even if the person deliberately avoids media attention.
A famous definition of celebrity comes from the cultural theorist Daniel Boorstin. In his book,The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America, he cynically describes celebrities as people well known for their "well-knowness".
A small number of celebrities can be considered 'global', in that their fame has spread across the English-speaking world and even into non-English-speaking cultures. These celebrities are often prominent political figures, Hollywood actors, globally successful pop musicians and sports stars. A few examples of internationally-known celebrities include South African politician Nelson Mandela, Hollywood actors Tom Cruise,Tom Hanks and Will Smith, Hollywood actresses such as Sarah Michelle Gellar,Jennifer Lopez, Lindsay Lohan, Halle Berry, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston, pop singers Robbie Williams, Cher, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton and Madonna, and sports stars David Beckham and Tiger Woods.
The rise of international celebrities in acting and popular music is due in large part to the massive scope and scale of the US media industries, which has enabled US media firms to dominate the English-speaking film, television, and popular music markets. The reach of US entertainment products is further extended by large-scale illegal copying of Hollywood movies and US popular music, which makes inexpensive pirated versions of US DVDs and CDs available throughout South America and Asia.

2. dogs uk cats petplanet supplies products for pets
Petplanet.co.uk is a privately held business headquartered in Livingston, Scotland. We are fully independent and have no ties to any manufacturers or traditional (i.e. 'bricks and mortar' shops or catalogue based) retailers. A team of over 20 people (including fully qualified vets, a dermatologist, and a behavioural specialist) are responsible for creating the content you find on our site.
We founded the business in mid-1999 as a result of frustration at the poor quality of pet information and services available on the Internet for UK pet lovers. Both of the founding partners have been surrounded by pets for most of their lives, and are keen to encourage responsible and informed pet ownership. PetPlanet.co.uk will never be involved in the direct resale of pets. It is our intention to foster positive relationships with the registered pet charities and breed societies through ongoing consultation and by seeking their approval for all relevant content.
We make a return on sales through our on-line shop, fulfilling all orders ourselves out of our Livingston facility. We also generate some advertising revenue from third parties advertising on our site. However, whilst we are a commercial operation, we also believe that content that encourages informed and responsible pet ownership should be free and ubiquitous. To this end, we do not charge businesses for basic services listings on our site and have avoided any exclusive commercial links that would limit the range of local or travel services listed on our site. Our veterinary advice services and (soon to be launched) interactive ailments database are free to all users.
