  Polarization is a growing, global problem. As such, many social media based
solutions have been proposed in order to reduce it. In this study, we propose a
new solution that recommends topics to celebrities to encourage them to join a
polarized debate and increase exposure to contrarian content - bursting the
filter bubble. Using a state-of-the art model that quantifies the degree of
polarization, this paper makes a first attempt to empirically answer the
question: Can celebrities burst filter bubbles? We use a case study to analyze
how people react when celebrities are involved in a controversial topic and
conclude with a list possible research directions.
