On Celebrity


Today a good friend of mine and I were sitting together in a coffee shop. My friend had his computer open and was buzzing around online. He turns to me and says, “Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter just had a baby.” And so a definition of “celebrity” occurred to me.

Celebrity: A condition of being by which complete strangers in an obscure coffee shop halfway around the world casually discuss the birth of your child.
