Painting portraits of celebrities is a useful way of testing one's ability to gain a likeness.  The famous face is recognisable to all, and creates common ground for judging the skill of the portrait artist. 

 

However, there is also a perceived tackiness to creating celebrity portraits.  This may be because of a weariness of the popular celebrity culture which the Media is currently fixated by.  So painting these pictures is a double-edged sword.
