Andy Warhol once said that everyone gets 15 minutes of fame; and in the notoriously fame hungry UK right now we have tonnes of Z lister’s clutching at straws to do anything to keep their faces in the magazines, theirs stories on the news and desire to want to hear about them. Unfortunately fame is a fickle business and with the amount of people grappling for a position how is it possible to stay top of the pops.
So what defines a celebrity? Jennifer Aniston- one of the main cast of one of if not THE most popular sitcom to hit our screens this decade, a Hollywood movie star and fashionista definitely an A lister. We can hardly compare her status to Ollie Lock of ‘Made in Chelsea’ reputation. But it’s these reality TV stars or children of rock stars that hold the significance and the reasoning to what being a leading Z lister entails. So here are my reasons for how you can fast track your way to being papped pushing your trolley in Tesco or sunning in Marbella in this season’s must have bikini.
1. Once you find yourself in a position where you can become a celebrity use every outlet you can to maintain it. Set yourself up on twitter and tell your army of followers where you are going at every opportunity. The more schoolchildren following you around the more attention you receive which will boost your ever growing status.
2. Find yourself an equal celeb partner or best friend. If you want to keep the headlines you need an equal so you can join forces and be an ultimate Z list force. Think of the power Ant and Dec get as a duo, double the attention, double the press coverage, double the love of the media, double the acceptance think Chantelle Houghton/Alex Reid & Arg/Lydia.
3.. Get yourself a personal trainer. Everyone loves keeping fit and if you’re seen running in a tight lycra outfit then your sure to catch a corner of the daily mail 
website. Think if enough people see you losing weight then people are bound to want you doing a fitness video. KERCHING!
4.. Endorsements Galore! Put your name to whatever you can, all publicity is good publicity. From hair extensions, to sharpie pens getting your face on a brand is big business. Lauren Goodger is cashing in on her mahogany complexion she’s now launched ‘Laurens Way’ a new fake tan for all wannabes every
where.
5. Go to celebrity hang outs. Reinforcing th
e need to be papped everywhere go out every night and be seen where celebs higher up the ranking are found. If the papers are writing about them then you must go there. Possible ideas for the best publicity- Mahiki, China Whites, The Sugarhut, Funky Buddha and Faces.
6. FINALLY! You must think about your fashion at all times, everytime you put something on you need to contemplate why you are wearing it. If you want to wear three belts then do realise you will be in the magazines but for all the wrong reasons. Get noticed but stay true to people’s fashion icons. More Kate Moss than Katie Price.
So if you’ve got what it takes why not take on the social ladder and fight your way to the top, with Big Brother back on our screens on channel 5 within the next couple of weeks there is no time like the present .. Meowwww
