You saw M-Net's Galaxy of Stars on M-Net and Mzansi Magic on Saturday, now ... find out what the guests have to say about stardom.
I caught up with various celebrity guests on the night of the shindig and asked them:
what makes a star? Their replies:
Lele Ledwaba: A star is something that actually comes from the inside. It starts on the inside and shines all the way out. It's not about the outer look.
Shona Ferguson: It's a lot of qualities. Number 1, it's what I like to call longevity. Hard work as well and passion - but taking your passion and doing something about it. For me, these are all the things I'd say - put together - make a star, not necessarily someone who's on television.
There are so many people who are not on television, not on radio, not personalities who I think are stars because of the hard work they put in and the passion that they have.
Lungile Radu: I guess ... owning that talent of yours, of entertaining, of acting, of presenting, of producing - whatever it is, owning it and shining. Everyone just keeping on complimenting you about it - I guess that makes you a star right?
Jessica Pitchford: Well, hard work should make a star but it often isn't the case. Often it's how many functions you go to and how often you're seen out.
Derek Watts: I think finding the common emotional thread of the audience makes a star, like Mi Casa and Desmond and the Tutus.
Zwai Bala: I think what makes a star is people who are shining and the whole world kind of reflects on what everyone can see. When you're on television, you're seen by lots of people and they refer to you as a star.
Mel Bala: It's something you can't put your finger on. I think there are a lot of people who are on TV or on radio or who are actors or actresses but it's that special something that you can't put your finger on that just makes people sit up and pay attention to you more than the next person. I don't know, I can't quantify it - they say star factor - it's that (laughs).
Kgomosto Christopher: It's all in your mind, honestly. I think some people walk around and they've got it in their head. I think it's your own perception of yourself. Some people who are stars, don't feel like stars and some people aren't stars as you would perceive, but in their mind, they're walking on clouds.
Nonhle Thema: Star quality is something that you're born with - it's like an X Factor that a person possesses and you can't fake it, you can't learn it, you can't replicate it.
Being a star is somebody who's also true to themselves because that's ultimately what people really like about somebody, someone who's just themselves and embraces who they are. That for me is a true star - someone who other people look up to for loving who they are.
Vusi Kunene: If you stand out and people find something that makes you stand out, then you're a star.
Khanyi Mbau: In my book it's star quality and longevity, always coming back and reinventing yourself. If you're a star and you can't stand the heat then you can't be in the sky with all the gases so if you can really stand beyond all the galaxies and everything, where there's no gravity.
I think stardom has no gravity because being a celebrity you're standing on nothing and yet everyone takes a swipe at you so if you can stand the test of time, then you're definitely a star.
