People who become famous in the United States are entirely different creatures from the celebrities in every other nation on the planet Earth.
In Canada we sort of reluctantly admit that a person is very talented, at which point we can’t help but try to take credit and, like proud parents, spread word among our friends. Not too many friends though, because we wouldn’t want it to go to the person’s head. I think this is how fame works in most countries.
In the United States people look for very different things in their celebrities. Namely, they look for celebrity. In order to become famous in the US you really need to be famous to start out, which is why they invented the sex tape, and praise artists for their marketing genius.
This has and will never make sense to me. Especially when it comes to someone like Lady Gaga, who Kim and Joey will now defend in the comments vehemently. Go.
