celebrities

Plural of celebrity, previously defined as someone who has achieved a notable level of celebrated fame. Celebrities come in all shapes and sizes, from the obscure Internet variety to full-blown Hollywood icon. Generally, one thinks of actors when contemplating the term, although celebrities can just as easily include politicians, comedians, artists, singers, authors, journalists, talk show hosts, and athletes.

Notable examples of prominent celebrities in the early 21st century: Oprah Winfrey, Paul McCartney, Bill Clinton, Britney Spears, Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Mick Jagger, Jennifer Aniston, Denzel Washington, Stephen King, Madonna, Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, Jerry Seinfeld, Beyonce, George Clooney, Rush Limbaugh, and Michael Phelps.
