celebrity

Celebrity refers to a person who is widely known and talked about, such as a star or a personality. It can also describe the state of being known to the public. The "cult of celebrity" describes the tendency for people to excessively focus on famous individuals.1234

Consumer culture, on the other hand, is defined by how values, identities, and meanings are shaped around the consumption of goods and services. In this culture, shopping is often seen as leisure, and advertising is pervasive, influencing how people use products to construct their self-images and social status. While celebrity is about being known, consumer culture is about acquiring and displaying goods.5
