I have heard people talking about bringing celebrities to SteemIt. I have a better idea!
Let's make A Star - Let's make a Celebrity
Let's find a member that is successfully seeking celebrity. A musician or actor someone the edge of making it. Once identified, we get the whole community to blog about that person on SteemIt, on Twiiter, or Facebook. We use that person's name and #SteemIt in a lot of posts. Maybe we create a win/win for this person and SteemIt. Can we make it "trend"? Create our own 4chan type trending group..
Let's give it a try. Step one, if you or a Steemian you know is trying to make a name for yourself and gain exposure please identify yourself, your website or other social media and your work in the comments. (Or nominate a Steemian of your choice)
I will compile a list for the community to discuss. We can select someone and see if we can get the whole community talking about that person on all available blogging/social media sites, and let's see if we can get that person... And SteemIt some attention.
Please resteem or better yet, create your own post, looking for a Steem Star. For discussion please use the tag #steemstar
@Papa-pepper should be a world-renowned Steem star.

oh wow! now thats what im talking about. I am a full time singer/songwriter and collaborative artist here on steemit, I release original music in all genres of sound with producers from all over the globe. I have had my songs in films and on tv, and been on billboard.com and beatport charts, I been breaking through slowly on my own with the help of alot of great fans and collaborative artists. Every bit of promotion is precious, every song that is made is on a journey to the right ears, and to help with that journey would be amazing. Im all in. check out my website here to learn a little more and listen through the various music I create. http://bonnielegion.wixsite.com/soundlegion

This is an interesting idea and worth giving a shot, even if tough having a smaller community here right now. In my mind the worst case scenario is free publicity for the person.
I second steevc's mention for @soundlegion and also wanted to toss in @jessamynorchard (gotta love the 'sad bastard' music.)

I think this kind of thing will occur only naturally if people get genuinely interested in Steemit as a platform and so far I'm definitely seeing the activity go up with all the censorship and so on going on in other social networks.
If someone is interesting enough, people can just register and they'll upvote them and so on, just like with all the other places. That will not only be good for the person in question but also for Steemit generally.

I'm answering a specific question with "I think not" Question was : Are There Enough Active Users on SteemIt to Create a Steem Star?

Lol, ahh.. completely looked over that. You do have a point but steemit already does have a few "rising stars" which might not make that so much an issue

Like the idea, can't hurt right? It is kind of funny how our world revolves around entertainers as "celebrity." Whether it's actors or athletes, these are the people most popular and most celebrated in society now. It's quite an interesting social dynamic.
If we ever want to create niche celebrities @scaredycatguide kindly volunteers for "finance star." Website and FB page are awaiting traffic ;-)

I agree that is an interesting thing, but they usually have something to promote. A song, show, etc. We could promote our best chess players, but likely would have less success.
