What does it take for you to consider someone "famous"?

In the world of entertainment: You are famous if “someone like me” has heard of you. I’m a recluse? Hermit? In the world but not worldly? I don’t follow the masses, I’m not drawn to the news or fame because “I should” ... I’m not addicted to following who is who, and having conversations on such topics, I’m not trying to be gorgeous like a model or popular like Lady Gaga. Yet I read, I listen. And so if someone like myself, who isn’t intentionally looking for who is who, has actually heard of you then you are VERY famous because EVERYone kids, adults, strangers in lines, everywhere and of course the media are talking about you wherever... and that is how I hear about you... in passing and word of mouth...you’re in the headlines, people tell jokes about you, so when you are at your peak... if everyone is talking about you.. and I hear about you you are definitely famous! Michael Jackson, Madonna, Jordan, Swift, Bieber famous.

Dr Christiaan Barnard - performed the world's first human to human heart transplant - VERY FAMOUS


Kardashians - media Whores and NOT FAMOUS

Well known. Different degrees of famous. Famous to a small degree I guess would just be popular

Inventors , Discoverers are the famous one,s to me not the so called celebrities.

depends on if main stream media knows who they are or not
