A public figure is anyone generally recognizable by the people. It need not be just royalty, politicians, athletes, or actors.

So how did Carol Burnett win who libel suit against the National Enquirer?

She's a public figure?

Enquiring minds would like to know.

Of course. I understand that.

I was arguing the point that someone can't deny MS is a public figure when MS himself has chosen to make himself a public figure.

MS will never sue anyone for the well understood reason by him that the person he sues would have the ability to do extensive discovery in this case to defend themselves. Of course MS (aka SCUMBAG) greatly fears that.
