personalities such as
soapopera actors or music
stars are likely to become
celebrities even if the person
deliberately avoids media
attentionA small number of
celebrities can be considered
'global', inthat their fame
has spread across the world,
even acrosslinguistic and
cultural boundaries. These
celebrities areoften prominent
political figures, actors,
globally successful musicians
and sports stars.The rise of
international celebrities in
acting and popularmusic is due
in large part to the massive
scope and scale ofthe media
industries, enabling
celebrities to be viewed en

entertainment productsis
further extended by
large-scale illegal copying of
moviesand music, which makes
inexpensive pirated versions
of DVDsand CDs available
throughout even less
economically developed
countries.
