Fame...how easy is it?

Andy Warhol envisioned that everyone will have their fifteen minutes of fame, so how do we differentiate from the real ones and the posers? Reality shows, news stories, big bloggers like Perez Hilton have been able to achieve a certain height of fame, because viewers are led to believe that they're the new big thing. And the people who work their media life for the fifteen minutes, well how do they stay on top? Many real celebrities struggle to stay in the public eye and maintain success and it's hard to think whether or not they could be seen as the average people that get on ridiculous VH1 shows. I wonder if Andy knew how ridiculous these mini celebrities were and how little they had to do be a "success." Finding love on national television and living with six strangers in a house never sounded so thrilling and addicting.
