Celebrity a popular fame or public attention in the media applied to a person or a group of people. The old fashion way of people becoming famous was nearly impossible unless you were a music artists, actor, performer or even someone important people like George Washington or Martin Luther King. The only way would be able to find out any information about them if any it would be on scandal Tv shows or magazines. We only had a limited amount of access into their personal and their lives. Due to online communication this has changed very much today. We use the social media in which we can follow all the celebrities that we know, such as Beyoncé, Sofia Velgara, J lo and pretty much anyone especially on Instagram. We are able to follow these people and have access to their every day lives where we can see what they do and what they're up to. 

Another good thing about Instagram is that we can stay up to date with peoples lives and with the latest news, updates, clothes, hair styles. We are able to follow whom and what we like. For example my Instagram is full of fitness junkies, make up brands, clothing lines, online celebrities and my friends. It is something that we personalize because were not only staying up to date with our friends but with out interests as well. 

Next, due to online communication and social media websites such as Facebook and more importantly Instagram a regular person doesn't necessarily have to have a record deal, be on Tv or be politically known to be famous. A person can simply post a video of the silliest things and if the person receives the most likes that means that person has more of a potential to get followed by people making them famous. I have recently encountered a few videos of a girl who's probably in her teens and dances half naked for the likes in order to become famous. There's also people who make funny videos in which we see different every day scenarios and trying to get likes by making us laugh. People can post something as quick as a picture, a post, a blog or a video and become famous much more easily than in the previous years.

Some perfect examples of people who have become famous online are some of the following. Perez Hilton became famous by blogging about gossip about celebrities. Another perfect example is Kim Kardashian and her family. Due to a sex tape with Ray J that was leaked and became viral is the only reason of why she became famous. People who are IG famous are people like Mankofit which is a really active Spanish female who's really fit. I really enjoy following her because she motivates me to work out, eat proper and shows me and everyone how to properly do workouts. Someone else who's incredibly famous is Jenselter she is another fitness junkie but is famous for her booty and planking almost anywhere possible. Jadadoll would be my last person to speak about she's famous on Instagram. She wears blue eyed contacts and has blonde curly hair making her look like a doll which in my opinion it is why she became if famous even though she is not natural. Her hair color is dark brown and she's brown eyed but the way she dresses catches peoples attention making her IG famous. In conclusion, access to whomever and what ever you are interested is at the touch of your finger tips. Technology has given us the ability to have a closer connection to not only famous people but the things we are interested in. Dont forget anyone can become famous now a days!
