About Celebutante in brief
Famous for being famous is a pejorative term for someone who attains celebrity status for no clearly identifiable reason. The term originates from an analysis of the media-dominated world called The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events in America. People’s reporting is fundamentally an important area of journalism that functions according to its own rules, especially in the print medium, according to journalist Norman Schenz. The Washington Post writer Amy Argetsinger coined the term famesque to define actors, singers, or athletes whose fame is mostly due to one’s physical attractiveness and personal life, rather than actual talent and successful career accomplishments.
The male equivalent is sometimes spelled celebutant, and the term has been used to describe heiresses like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie in entertainment journalism. The word has been traced back to a 1939 Walter Winchell society column in which he used the word to describe prominent society debutante Brenda Frazier.
