DESCRIPTION:While being photographed in 1966, Warhol reportedly said, “Everyone wants to be famous.”
(To which his photographer Nat Finkelstein responded, “Yeah, for about fifteen minutes, Andy.”) Warhol was right then, and he’s right now.
Fifteen minutes be damned, all you need is the drive—or desperation—and a singular spark.
But if you’re not careful, you’ll end up a Who.
Who is a Who? In I Want to Be Famous, Bobby Finger and Lindsey Weber, the journalists behind the pop culture podcast Who?
Weekly, distill celebrity into two categories—Whos and Thems—transcending the snarky, antiquated judgment of the “A-listers” to “D-listers.”
If you come across an allegedly famous face you’ve never seen before and are compelled to utter “Who?”, well, there’s your answer.
(Can you picture Rita Ora, Ava Max, or Hilaria Baldwin without googling them?)
If the subject elicits something along the lines of, “Oh, Them,” there you’ve found the opposite (Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise).
It’s the fundamental binary of fame.
