Needs link to celebrity culture article

There is not even one mention of the celebrity culture article on this page. Which rightfully should be worked in (at least) at the very top of the lead (to lay out and define the term)...ideally as early as the 2nd sentence.

Which term embraces the proliferation of celebrity and the obsession with it that has galloped with new technologies (the Internet, the smartphone (and its amateur-generated pictures and videos wildly outpacing the output of the professional paparazzi), social media (as itself, as a platform for advancing celebrity, and as a source datamined every day for reposting pictures, video, sightings, etc., from it in mainstream media), and celebrity-based media itself (such a "E!", "TMZ", "Page 6" "POPSUGAR", and countless others), in the new millennium.

Which introduction could use a more alive and "depictive" definition than the prosaic "Celebrity culture is a high-volume exposure to celebrities' personal lives on a global scale" the celebrity culture article begins with (which scarcely captures what it is).

I can't introduce the content here: the page is blocked to unregistered users. But the need for it obviously begs. Who can step up to make this improvement? 2601:196:180:DC0:9C7F:40DD:5C45:641C (talk) 15:54, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Needs link to cult of celebrity article

Per the above, there is not even one mention of the cult of celebrity article on this page. Which likewise rightfully should be worked in (at least) in the lead (to lay out and define the term, which is a subset of celebrity culture, the latter an important subset of "celebrity").

The "cult of celebrity" is both a function of and response to "celebrity culture". And indeed is a very important dynamic in 21st century media and culture (not so nearly narrow as someone attaining their "15 seconds of fame" as it is overly proscribed at that page).

It is (well, of course should be) impossible for an article on "celebrity" not to even once mention the "cult of celebrity" (however defined). The closest the current content gets is a brief (unlinked, even) mention of the concept of the "cult of personality" tracing to "the Romantics of the 18th century".

That's it. Zip.

For something that has (again) both spawned, fueled, and expanded (via boomerang back to itself) reality TV...("The Kardashians"? "Real Housewives of New Jersey". "Dancing With the Stars". "Top Chef"...), and is absolutely an exploding aspect of the culture of celebrity which is coming to evermore drive 21st century life, media, "culture".

I can't introduce the content here: the page is blocked to unregistered users. But the need for it obviously begs. Who can step up to make this improvement? 2601:196:180:DC0:9C7F:40DD:5C45:641C (talk) 15:54, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

The celebrity collage at the top

@EclipseExpress: Hi there, I believe that the celebrity collage should be much more representative than it currently is - for one, I tried to include a diversity of reasons as to why the people selected got famous, but also included one from each continent (well, except Antarctica). The current collage is very American centric (5/6) and has 2 people primarily known for singing, 3 known for acting (or 2 known for acting and 2 for sports depending on your viewpoint). This isn't all representative imo - Wikipedia already has an issue with American bias and overrepresentation. Celebrity culture is popular everywhere, not just in America; e.g Bollywood. I don't see a good reason as to why this current collage is better than the previous one. jolielover♥talk 21:30, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

Bringing the discussion from Discord to here: I don't think the collage of important celebrities is the right option. While you're right to try to remove American bias, there is still a recency bias, and any collage will inherently be biased toward whomever people think of first. These images also provide no context about the concept of celebrities, so we should use images that illustrate the concept. I think File:Zlatan Ibrahimović.jpg and File:Brigitte Bardot Venice 1958.jpg are both good options; they feature a celebrity being photographed by a crowd (and one is also giving autographs), so readers do not need to know the individual celebrities to understand that they are celebrities. — Vigilant Cosmic Penguin 🐧(talk | contribs) 20:24, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
Drive-by comment: Regardless of nationality and popularity, I also agree with Vigilant Cosmic Penguin for inserting celebrities surronding by crowd/paparazzis and similar scenarios. I inserted a similar collage in Fashion with elements related to that industry as a whole, and it seems it works. Cheers, --Apoxyomenus (talk) 22:20, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
I agree, these are much better options. jolielover♥talk 02:25, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
@Vigilantcosmicpenguin and Apoxyomenus: I've made the WP:BOLD edit to add the image of Bardot, replacing the collage. Thanks for the insight! Feel free to adjust the caption or size if you feel as though it needs changing. jolielover♥talk 06:10, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
Hi, it looks fine to me. Though keeping it simple it is great, I wouldn't oppose to have a collage of two-four celebrities in diff scenarios/situations, and to other's opinion (swapping pic etc). Cheers, -- --Apoxyomenus (talk) 07:27, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

Possible unreviewed AI use

Hi -- I have tagged this article as potentially AI generated, specifically edits by user Synthetic.Cognizance. They display many tells of AI writing, and a sockpuppet investigation seems to be further evidence. Needs review, fact-checking, tone check, etc. Gnomingstuff (talk) 18:17, 13 August 2025 (UTC)
