celeb
Tabloid magazine subject
Celeb is an informal shortening of celebrity—a famous person, especially in entertainment: The restaurant was packed with celebs.
The word carries a slightly dismissive or tabloid tone, suggesting someone famous for being famous rather than for substantial achievement: celeb gossip, celeb sightings.
