“If you look at a lot of modern celebrities, you’ll find the thing that they started doing to break into that celebrity status may not be the things that they’re doing now to keep it. The game itself doesn’t care where your fame came from. It cares that you’re famous.” - @SimGuruNinja quoted here

Celebrity Perks and Quirks

As your Sim’s status skyrockets, you gain celebrity perks. How to Earn Fame in The Sims 4 Get Famous Expansion Pack

"One of the Perks is called Established Name... That actually lets you skip the audition process." - @SimGuruGraham in Similar, but not a clone. ;) - source

You can keep an eye on your Sim’s progress in their Fame Info panel, which helps you manage perks and quirks. –Act the Part in The Sims 4 Get Famous

Careers
For the Fashion Career, which is being patched in, head over here: Terrain Tools patch SimGuru/Maxis-Sourced Info

Acting Career

Act the Part Be your own muse and direct your Sim toward a brilliant acting career. Get your big break with commercial gigs or land a part in a television series. When your Sims go the extra mile studying lines and wearing unique costumes, all that hard work might lead to a starring role in the next big blockbuster. this video

Build appropriate skills for auditions:

When they book an audition, your Sim will need to work on the skills it requires. For the pirate-themed audition, your Sim's physical prowess will be expected on set, so they'd better start exercising. For the romantic drama audition, Charisma is a must.—this video

Hair, Makeup, and Wardrobe come before acting:

On set, your Sim will get into hair, makeup, and wardrobe (the wardrobe alone is worth joining your Sim), then perform scenes based on the skills they developed.—source

Skills/Aspirations

Acting Skill
Acting is a Skill - see @SimGuruGraham in this video

"SimGuruGeorge;c-16804280" wrote:

You can raise acting skill at home by practicing in a mirror, reading skill books. I think you more want to do the acting performances at home, like performing a musical scene. These raise acting skill and can be done for tips as well. Doing interactions on the stage marks at home does not raise acting skill.

Media Production Skill

"There is one other skill coming in the pack: a Media Production skill. You saw the objects in our video earlier: the music station, the video station, the drone. That all plays into the new Media Production skill." - @SimGuruGraham @SimGuruGraham in this video

what they used for the stage marks was a cheat that's already usable by players in the game, bb.showhiddenobjects. what they didn't want us to focus on was their cheat text prompt, since it's got more options (bells and whistles?) than what players have in the game

My bad with this one. These objects won't be behind the cheat in the version you all get. They were just that way in my current build and it tripped me up when I saw that.
They will unlock in the actor career like this.

• Stage Mark: Solo Scenes - Actor Career Level 2
  
• Stage Mark: Paired Scenes - Actor Career Level 2
  
• Stage Mark: Sword Fight Scene - Actor Career Level 3
  
• Stage Mark: Death Scene - Actor Career Level 5
  

A few not so obvious things. There is a pirate ship wheel, jail cell door, and product podium that have acting scenes on them as well. - source

The World: Del Sol Valley

But if you think any and every Sim can get into these places, think again. Sims might not be on the list for some destinations. But there’s always a chance they can convince a bouncer to let them in. If not, cheer up. The more famous they become, the easier it will be to slide into the most exclusive parties. —Introducing The Sims 4 Get Famous

What makes you think we added anything new here?
Talk about jumping to conclusions. Title of the thread isn't even "IS there any new radio music?", but "WHAT new radio music is featured?"
Sheesh people.

So yeah, there is a new radio station...
