No one can buy celebrity status in the Global Village.
No one can earn celebrity status in the Global Village.
Anyone, at any moment in time, can become a Celeb if the animating muses agree.
A single action, in the right moment for the right reason, can go viral and wrap the aura of celebrity around the person who performed it. There is no known process guaranteed to make this happen. Such certainty was a hallmark of the Industrial Park.

In the Global Village, the charismatic ability to seize the moment is the only process capable of generating true celebrity.
Having the presence of mind to capture an event on a smart phone is often step one. Once captured, that event can be released to the World Wide Web. This simple action performed in the right moment can awaken every resident of the Global Village and go viral.
Celebrity Status in the Global Village is both universal and fleeting. It may last for an hour, a day, or even a week. But it seldom lasts much longer. There are simply too many wannabe residents of the Village to afford more than a quick flash of fame on the cosmic conscious.
That's just the way it is in the Global Village.
