Britney's Fame is Bigger Than Your Fame

Britney Spears is so famous that she makes other people famous just by being associated with them. People still talk about Kevin Federline because of Britney. Hell, she's so famous, she made TWO other people famous through a third party. Just by being associated with Kevin, both Shar Jackson and Victoria Prince became famous.
Can you imagine that level of fame?  Madonna, Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera are all famous, but they don't make other people famous. That guy Gaga used to date who she wrote "You and I" about, does anyone ever talk about him? Christina's and Madonna's boyfriend, are they ever photographed without Christina or Madonna?
Britney has made the non-famous famous and the non-relevant relevant. Look what she did for Fred Durst. Hell, you could argue her alleged cheating on Justin Timberlake made him a superstar. Without that, there would have been no "Cry Me a River" song or video, which is what broke Justin big (not to mention the fact that he spoke about sleeping with her).
Her level of fame knows no bounds. Paris Hilton is one of the most written about and photographed women in the world. However, do you hear anything about her exes once the relationship is over? Her fame aura weakens the minute you're separated from her. With Britney, her fame is like a disease you can't cure. People still talk about Kevin and they've been divorced for nearly five years.
Think about it this way: with a normal celebrity, say Kim Kardashian, you're famous just by being next to her (in her aura). But the further away you two are, the more your fame weakens until people forget about you. With Britney, on the other hand, her fame attaches to you so that whether you're with her or not, you're still famous.
Maybe the ultimate sign her fame supersedes everything else in the world: the way she lived from 2004-2008 would have ended 99 percent of Hollywood careers (a quickie marriage and annulment, marrying someone no one ever heard of, giving up her career to have children, publicly breaking down, blowing her big comeback at the 2007 VMAs, etc.). But here we are, in 2011, and Britney is still making regular folk famous. Fans will go to her shows and be excited to meet her boyfriend. Literally, they will write, "OMG, I met Jason. It was so exciting." Like they were meeting Justin Bieber.
Some people just have it.
