Celebrity is fame and public attention in the media, usually applied to a person, or group of people (celebrity couple, family etc.), or occasionally, to animals or fictional entities. Celebrity status is often associated with wealth (commonly referred to as fame and fortune) and fame can often provide opportunities to make money.
Successful careers in sports and entertainment are commonly associated with celebrity status; political leaders often become celebrities. People may also become celebrities due to media attention for their lifestyle, wealth, or controversial actions, or for their connection to a famous person.
Throughout recorded history there are accounts of people who attracted the trappings of celebrity which would be recognized today.
Athletes in Ancient Greece were welcomed home as heroes, had songs and poems written in their honour and received free food and gifts from those seeking celebrity endorsement.Ancient Rome similarly lauded actors and notorious gladiators and Julius Caesar appeared on a coin in his own lifetime (a departure from the usual depiction of battles and divine lineage).
The Television Personalities are an English rock group led by singer–songwriter Dan Treacy (born 19 June 1960). The band's first release (January 1978) was the single "14th Floor"/"Oxford Street W1", while their second, the EP Where's Bill Grundy Now? features one of their best-known songs, "Part Time Punks".
The Television Personalities' first album ...And Don't The Kids Just Love It was released in 1981. It set the template for their subsequent career: neo-psychedelia, an obsession with youth culture of the 1960s, a fey, slightly camp lyrical attitude, and the occasional classic pop song. Their second album Mummy Your Not Watching Me [sic] demonstrated increased psychedelic influences. Their third album, entitled They Could Have Been Bigger Than The Beatles showed Treacy's sense of humour; the TVPs were never to have any major commercial success in the UK – although their albums sold respectably in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. The first three albums featured Treacy and schoolmate Ed Ball; Ball left the band to found The Times, but rejoined in 2004.

After a very highly publicised battle with lung cancer, that saw Kenyans and celebrities flock to concerts and fundraisers to help her stay alive, former TV personality and presenter Janet Kanini-Ikua has died.

This is our music - Television Personalities. "This Is Our Music was born when Swedish MTV decided they should be the ones discovering the new music rather than reacting to other media, especially other parts of the MTV network. So they invited Swedish journalist, Andres Lokko and a couple of others, including his partner, Lisa Milberg, to put forward a proposal for a series of programmes. Thinking that there was no chance that they’d get the commission, Lokko and colleagues put forward the idea of This Is Our Music, which would document all these important scenes, labels and groups, almost all of which were completely off MTV’s radar. Amazingly, MTV decided to go ahead and commissioned first one, then two subsequent series, which even now, half a decade later, seem like an incredible, u...
