"Debut Albums of All-Time"". While establishing herself as an artist and working her way up through the New York underground club scene, Gaga released her debut studio album, ""The Fame"". Speaking about the title and concept of the album, Gaga explained: """"The Fame"" is about how anyone can feel famous. [...] Pop culture is art. It doesn't make you cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and you hear it all over ""The Fame"". But, it's a sharable fame. I want to invite you all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle."""
"a platform for marketing as celebrities can be paid huge sums of money for product placement or usage in their posts. Most celebrities are known for ""throwing tantrums"" to get their way. They're also known for getting in debates with their friends who are also celebrities in order to amp up the drama to let their names be seen.

The term originates from an analysis of the media-dominated world called ""The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events in America"" (1961), by historian and social theorist Daniel J. Boorstin.

Under those conditions, an ambitious rival could often afford to lure away the sport's top players with promises of better pay, in hopes of giving the new league immediate respect and credibility from fans. Today, however, established leagues derive a large portion of their revenue from lucrative television contracts that would not be offered to an untested rival.
