If people who are all over the news all the time are "semi-celebrities," what does the author consider real "celebrities." Perhaps he thinks "celebrity" means something other than "all over the news all the time"?

The comparison between the Rat Pack and the Three Bimbos of the Apocalypse should make us pause. The Rat Pack at least wore formal wear to go to to work.
By the way, as I understand it, Dean Martin played up his image of being an alcohol soaked playboy - in reality, I have heard he was faithful to his wife and not nearly the drinker he portrayed himself to be.

. . . Dean Martin played up his image of being an alcohol soaked playboy - in reality, I have heard he was faithful to his wife. .. . Well, maybe not his first wife. But he did wear underwear in public. We think. :)

"Going commando" in a tuxedo sounds rather uncomfortable to me.

I think I kind of get the author's problem. There's the old definitioin of celebrity: A person who is famous for being famous. And while it is rumored that Brtney can sing and Leslie Lohan can act, I've never quite understood what it is that Paris Hilton can do, I mean other than the dirty. So she certiannly is a celebrity in that sense.
But I bet the author thinks a celebrity ought to be able to do something important and to do it well, and that vague conviction leads to the uncertainty of "semi-celebrity".

And while it is rumored that Brtney can sing and Leslie Lohan can actI saw a movie with Lindsay Lohan in it - "Mean Girls," a teen-chick flick. She can act like a teenage girl :-), and also sing, or at least she could a few years ago.
I think you're right about the point the author was trying to make.

Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan is one of the greatest family movies of all time.
That much I know.

Thanks! I'll check the library for it, next time I want a movie for my little girls. There's only so many times one can show "Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus" without breaking out the adult beverages before noon!

Frank Sinatra said his secret during the Rat Pack shows was to take one sip from a drink, set it discreetly to one side, then pour another one. It was all an illusion.

When you peak at 18, it's a long way down...

When you peak at 18, it's a long way down... Yup. There was a girl in our neighborhood who peaked at about 14. She was sensational at 14, but by 18 she was long since over the hill. Amazing.
