today, celebrities face evern more severe embarrassment. the pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity's shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears.still, the ego's potential for expansion is limitless.

现在，名星们面临着更多让人头疼的事，流行文化圈变的比以往更大，但它的翻新率也在提高。名星们犯一点小差错就足以威胁自己的名气生存期，一个可以使他们成名的报纸或杂志，同时也会在一个偶然机会出现时让他们身败名裂.当然，自利主义的人对于自己名气永没有满足的时候。
也不知翻译的好不好，呵呵。。。
