Hmm I'm not sure I can agree with that.  Is "celebrity" really that 
ambiguous.
I make a list of 100 Nebraskans born on May 15th.  I would think we could 
all agree on at least ten of them as "celebrities" and probably 10 or 20 as 
not.  It's that grey-area where some local newscaster is a celebrity to some 
and not to others.

What about "movie stars" ? That's not quite as vague.  Can we do that today 
without human intervention?  People who have been in a film? Or is that too 
vague
