One of my favorite celebrities is Kris Jenner. She has built an empire, not just for herself but for her daughters. She has turned each of her daughters into entrepreneurs. Every single one of them has their own successful company: Kourtney with lemme, Kim with SKIMS, Khloé with Good American, Kendall with 818 Tequila, and Kylie with Kylie Cosmetics. Having a good work life balance is no easy task, but Kris Jenner makes it look effortless. As some people may say (at least they say it on tiktok), the devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder.
Have you ever wondered which celebrities are favored? Today, I asked students about their favorite celebrity and what makes them stand out from the rest. From raw talent to authenticity. I wanted to know what celebrities my peers like. I’ve gathered insights on what qualities people admire most in public figures, and the qualities that make them unforgettable. Read on to find out the top choices among my peers at PVS.
Who’s your favorite celebrity?
John Webster: “Jordan Pickford. He is very influential, and he is the best at what he does–although Steve Erwin is a close second. He is the person who got me interested in animals, and is very influential.”
Mr. Kisling: “Captain James T. Kirk because he earns the trust of his crew.”
Mateo Omier: “My favorite celebrity? Harry Styles I guess, but Dua Lipa is a close second.”
Maxwell Pretorius: “Jack Black because he is Steve.”
Ivana Vega: “I’m gonna say Drew Starkey because he is a really good actor, and because he is fine.”
Addison Uhlhorn: “Zendaya because she is a good person and has many talents.”
Emmy Kaminsky: “Ryker Evans because he is the huzz. Morgan Wallen because he is so fine, and Megan Moroney because she is a girl’s girl, or, as Elizabeth would say, Megan Merooony.”
Jaden Ramer: “Melissa McCarthy.”
Brooklyn Hatrak: “Pete Wentz.”
Edward Berg: “Lebron because he is Lebron; I think he is perfect.”
Grace Ghaly: “My favorite celebrity is myself. I’m not a celebrity–so, uhh, Billie Eilish.”
Lincoln Johnson: “Ryan Reynalds because he is a good actor.”
Zoey Guess: “Harry Styles because he is attractive and a good singer.”
Zoe Groendyke: “The Rock because I think he is really funny.”
Mia Groendyke: “My favorite celebrity is Theodore Roosevelt because he likes nature, and he was a very funny president.”
Samuel West: “My favorite celebrity is Christiano Ronaldo because he is the greatest soccer player in existence.”
Lorelei Behr: “Chad Michael Murray is my favorite celebrity because he is a good actor.”
It’s clear that the celebrities we admire aren’t just famous–they represent things we value. Hearing from my peers gave me a new perspective on what makes people stand out in the spotlight and in everyday life.
