They say fame is a fleeting moment -- one day you're a hero and the every next moment your image is crushed into small bits. Now, a leading PR practitioner, who believes that public recognition gets decayed after 15 months, has come up with "fame formula" to calculate the shelf-life of a celebrity career.

Mark Borkowski said that a study of a host of celebrities showed that any specific boost to fame is sustained for about 15 months.

Borkowski concludes that people who are pushed into the limelight in this era can expect their initial fame to last for 15 months.

The formula for working out the decline in fame from its peak is: F (T) = B + P (1/10T+1/2Tsquared)

F is the level of fame.

T is time, measured in three-monthly intervals. T=1 is after three months, T=2 is after six months.

B is a base level of fame identified and quantified by analyzing the average level of fame in the year before peak.

Last, P is the increment of fame above the base level, establishing the individual firmly in the public consciousness.

I guess this works...

RD's fame as captain lasted around 15 months
GC's 'fame' as Coach lasted around the same number
SG's comeback and fame around that has lasted about 15 months

The only exception is SRT..his fame takes a beating every 15 days...on this DG every 15th post
