Celebrity structure

Each nation or cultural community (linguistic, ethnic, religious) has its own largely independent celebrity system, e.g. individuals who are extremely well known in India, might be unknown abroad, except with the Indian diaspora. Some subnational entities also have their own celebrity system, such as Quebec and Puerto Rico.

In other cases, particularly in the United States, celebrity may be confined to only one state: Lin Sue Cooney, for example, is a well known television reporter in Arizona, but she is not that well known in other areas. Singers, actors (especially working in their native language) and other media celebrities from say the Netherlands are much more likely to be famous in equally Dutch-speaking Flanders, and vice versa, than anywhere else, though that happens too. The key is what audiences they can appeal to and are reached by the media they get attention from, which is much harder starting in the smaller countries and cultural communities, indeed its is often a good carreer move to launch English versions of one's hits songs et cetera to get a better chance on the global stage.
