Bounty Be Someone

[weecalf]

Theres bounty be some one we as the great abbers club can agree that yes they are worthy of the title celebrity .Ill mention one and if we agree and they get 20 votes they are ok .Others can nominate their choice so its fair that way we get to give mention to ones who deserves the applause Thank you .....Liz Smith

Hmmmm. The OED defines celebrity as " the condition of being much extolled or talked about; famousness, notoriety" and consequently "a person of celebrity; a celebrated person: a public character".

So anyone who is in the public eye a lot (even if through notoriety) could qualify as a 'celebrity'.

Liz Smith is an accomplished actress but whether she qualifies as a 'celebrity' might be open to question. (She's certainly not 'A-list' and her exploits hardly ever feature in the tabloids).

If you're simply seeking people like outstanding actors, then I'd nominate John Sessions. However if you're looking for someone who fits the dictionary definition, then even Jimmy Savile and Stuart Hall would qualify!

[By the way, I hope that you really do know that it's "bound to be", not "bounty be"!]

Thanks for your reply .you put my mind at ease ..Yes it only a word for someone who spends their life trying to get noticed So being a siilybertity does not mean you have talent and should be somehow looked at as someone all that wonderful .Would that be a fair assessment .Nice and good people are sillyberties Im sure its just the one who seem to be on the box most of the time that are the problem .
