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. Cracksmokingshirts.com - Hilarious Funny t-shirts, offensive funny t shirts

On May 10th 2003, Beniko, Profits and Kelly Marie moved into The Wicked Crib. We knew after our first hot tub party, that this was not going to be just an ordinary household.

We spent a long, hot summer working our crappy 9-5's, drinking, smoking and hottubbing. It was around this time that Profits purchased an online business that came with a commercial transfer press for making T-shirts. The business was not quite what Profits had hoped for and as such, it quickly fell by the way side.

Around Mid September, Beniko was looking at He-man images online. He found a perfect Skeletor image and decided he needed to make a shirt out of it. We drug out the press which had been collecting dust since summer and our first shirt was born.

We decided that we needed to share the hilarity of our shirts with the world and began posting them on eBay. We weren't surprised that they sold, but we didn't expect them to sell so well. We were having such a great time selling these shirts that we knew we needed to make more. Being as witty and brilliant as we are, this was quite an easy task.

Soon we had an entire arsenal of shirt designs. The three of us each have our own talents to add to our new business, which we utilized to get our site up and running. In mid October 2003, six months after becoming roommates, we officially became business partners. Our site was launched and the rest is CrackSmokin' history.

Beniko is our main designer. If you love our site you have him to thank for it. While we all come up with silly phrases, it is Beniko who draws up our images and makes them work. This talented 27 year old has been in the web design business since graduating high school, getting his start at Thriveonline, an internet health website.

Aside from designing, Beniko is also a talented guitar player has done several American and Canadian Tours. His band, All Shall Perish is some of te sickest metal you have ever heard, check them out! In his free time, Beniko enjoys... oh wait, this boy HAS no free time!

KELLY MARIE: Chances are, if you have sent an email to us, Kelly Marie is the one who responded. Kelly's duties with the business include: processing orders, printing invoices and packing and shipping the orders. Also dealing with all your emails on a daily basis. She tries her best to be nice and deliver the kind of customer service that she would expect from a company. So be nice to her when you write!

Kelly enjoys reading and photography and is a Reality TV and Web community junkie. She loves to have parties at the crib and is thankful for Profits' camera because she normally doesn't remember much of what goes on at these parties. On top of all this, she is also Beniko's ever faithful bitch.

Profits is the business man in blue jeans. Significantly older than the rest of us, he has years of experience in business and accounting that the rest of us certainly don't. Profits is the man who deals with the receipts, buying bulk orders of shirts, payroll and tax issues. Basically all the boring stuff that we have never cared enough to learn.

Profits drinks a lot of budwieser and runs warehousewrestling.com. He watches a lot of reality TV and CKY videos and always has his video camera ready in case something funny happens. Despite his graying beard, Profits really is young at heart.
