As the academic year approaches, a special project titled "In Case the Fame Ends" highlights Israeli celebrities who have earned full academic degrees, securing professional options beyond their entertainment careers. The project, featured in "Pnai Plus" magazine, showcases prominent figures in the entertainment industry who chose demanding academic paths over shorter courses or auditing classes.

Among those recognized is model and host Rotem Sela, who holds bachelor's degrees in law and business administration and passed the bar exam. Also featured is Corinne Gideon, who completed law studies while managing her media career. Food personality Michal Ansky studied general history with a specialization in Hebrew poetry and folklore, later pursuing a master's degree in gastronomy sciences in Italy.

The diverse list also includes comedian Israel Katorza, who earned a degree in communications and management and also studied broadcasting. The project emphasizes that these stars have invested in formal education, providing a role model for younger audiences and demonstrating the enduring value of professional security and academic credentials, even at the peak of the entertainment industry.
