A common trope among High School stories; a character gets his 15 minutes of fame, becomes an Accidental Celebrity, or goes from Rags to Riches and lets it go to his head. The character will sometimes ignore old friends in favor of a new, "cooler" crowd, and almost always turns into a Jerkass egotist overnight. Usually, the Reset Button is pushed by the end of the episode, followed by An Aesop that Celebrity Is Overrated. Usually happens to ambitious characters, much to their chagrin, and usually as a result of the Popularity Cycle (whether because the person who decides what's in or out is on top, or because people are fickle).
