"By concentrating in himself or herself the image of a popular role, the celebrity, spectacular representation of a living human being, concentrates this banality. The condition of the "Star" is the specialization of the apparently lived; the object of identification with shallow apparent life, which must compensate for the fragments of actually lived productive specializations. Celebrities exist in order to represent various types of life. Styles and styles of comprehending society, free to express themselves GLOBALLY."
(Debord, Society of the Spectacle and Other Films, 1992, p.80)
