What is a "Celebrity DJ"?

In a South Carolina plane crash yesterday, four people died and two were critically injured, including the much tattooed former drummer of Blink-182 and a man named "Adam Goldstein" referred to as a "celebrity DJ".

This tragic accident does raise important questions: what in the world is a "celebrity DJ", and why is it that our society would grant fame to someone whose job it is to play the recordings of other people? Lindsey Lohan's gal-pal Samantha Ronson is also a "celebrity DJ". Where did this species come from?

Are there other potential "celebrity" based positions? How about "celebrity lawn care", or "celebrity bathroom attendant"?

I have been to plenty of clubs in my day, and I have often thought that the DJ did a great job of keeping the dance floor crowded by his choice of songs. But celebrity status? C'mon now.

"celebrity", "dj", both are so unimportant in my life that they can call themselves whatever they like for all i care. i just about hit the roof when a show i was watching this morning had "breaking news from E - Entertainment News" regarding this non-story. First, how does "E - Entertainment" and "News" get in the same title and since when does anything to do with such trivial matter warrant breaking into anything but a bag of chips and a six pack?

Dear Celebrity Wahoo,
you guys are just haters. maybe just maybe the guys and gals and ronsons who spin those fat beats and hot mixes bring joy to peoples' lives. I am sure that you got just as excited about / interested in Dean Martin or Pat Boone. He's the Buddy Holly of my generation man!
