With all due respect to Asshole Andrew WK, this is the arc of the American Celebrity Dream Machine: Get celeb-famous in any way that you can,; ride it for as long as you can; milk it for whatever you can; celeb-boost it if you can; brace yourself for the inevitable celeb-fail; exit into: 1) celeb-scurity [MC Hammer, etc], 2) celeb-icide by overdose [Michael Jackson, Jim Morrison, others too numerous to mention], car crash [James Dean], plane crash [Buddy Holly, etc.] ; or magically reset by getting celeb-famous for something even more celeb-rageous [Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner]; repeat.
