I love Ugmo’s answer…right on the money.
Celebrities, while they can be worshipped as a hero, are often just the fodder for gossip magazines…think Paris Hilton! (hero? – not!)
Heros, while they are celebrities, are celebrated for some achievement they have accomplished or something they have done to better the world – i.e. – Christopher Reeve (spinal cord research)

A celebrity is someone who is famous, but they can be famous for any number of reasons and those reasons are often insignificant, unintentional, or even negative. A hero can be many things but in general it is someone who contributes positively to other people and they are NOT necessarily famous or even well known at all.

heroes save lives…celebrities save boredom.

Celebrity is someone who entertains…a hero is someone who made a diffrence in their life…..a hero is a hero in the persons eyes, no matter what other title people give them
