Celebrities--love them or hate them--have become an epidemic in today’s society and will continue to negatively affect those who continually position them in influential parts of life. The word “celebrity” is derived from the word “celebrate,” in that a person is supposedly famous because the community celebrates him or her (Wright 1). Celebrities influence the public in many negative ways, and since the invention of television and the internet, even more are affected each and every day, and lifestyles are more influenced in today’s society. Gossip magazines are only still around due to people’s fascination with celebrities in the public eye. News channels most likely than not have now relied on celebrity gossip to gain and maintain viewers in the twenty-first century. The reality of today’s media and celebrity culture is that public figures with a spotlight on them, either because of good or bad reasoning, are the role models of the twenty first century (Aalai 1). There is no shortage of celebrities and pop stars who have adopted the mindset that there is no such thing as a negative publicity (Huston, et al. 3), and because of this, celebrities more negatively than positively affect society’s public eye of today. Celebrity lifestyles have become increasingly more prevalent in today’s society, especially to teens and younger adults; they negatively affect its viewers through means of advertising products and self-images, including the fashion industry, unreal lifestyles portrayed across reality TV shows, and the news of the aftermath showcased to the public. The celebrities, with their talent and charm, provide even more reason for people to be attracted to them. Who is your role model? Is it a upbeat positive celebrity like Taylor Swift , Ellen DeGeneres or Johnny Deep? Or is it a stone cold celebrity like Kanye West , Kim Kardashian or Miley Cyrus. Some people may think all celebrities give negative impacts to us no matter how good they do and that they are not supposed to be categorized as role models. However I define a role model as a person who inspires us to do good in life. So I believe that celebrities can be categorized as role models. However who you look up to can make yourself turn into a whole new person.

When you look back to the enchanted Taylor Swift's history you will notice that she wasn't always the leader of her squad.
