In Britain the word 'Celebrity' is so over-used these days. You're a celebrity if you're in a soap and you're a celebrity if you enter reality tv. The truth of it is, it's not cool to be a celebrity. Maybe it once was, but now it's cool to be a non-celebrity. They're all desperado's who are prepared to do anything to prolongue their fame and most of them sell their souls.
I despise everything about it. If you've earned your place then power to you. But the rest can swivel as far as I'm concerned.
I've discovered that the trick is to humour them. Just smile sweetly and under no circomestances do you take them seriously. They are there for our entertainment so let them get gunked or get married in fairy dresses or whatever it is they do!They should issue government health warnings on the tv.
i always wondered how scenester party animals (like paris) got to be seen as role models (and they are. just "overhear" the conversation of any young person) when people who work hard to better the world (or at least a small part of it) are undervalued, unappreciated, and seen by the youth of today as downright lame....
what I'm wearing: 1 pkg 18" DLux SS #2 and protac

there are certain people who are celebs who are just in general great people who are using their money and influence to better the world...example, Angelina Jolie...she may be the most beautiful woman on earth but she is also a very good person...Oprah as much as I disagree with some of her ideas she is a great person who really uses her money and fame towards benifiting less fortunate...idiots like lindsay lohan, paris and others alike ARE USELESS!!! Girls look at them as role models because they are pretty (well not paris in my opinion) dress well, rich and have guys idolizing them...we need more people like Angelina who use their popularity towards the benift of the world...

On the topic of "Paris's Bonds Exposed" anyone watch the simple life premiere yesterday??? I ATTEMPTED to watch it...but got so irritated i had to change the channel 15 minutes through...BUT Paris's wefts were exposed so many times in that first 15 minutes!!! I mean c'mon at least get a good job done! With all that money!!!
I don't think they're useless. Entertainment ie films, tv etc, is a huge media and they have their place. Much like Steve Irwine has his place as the croc hunter!
However, I can't be doing with the word 'celebrity' being thrown about to someone who qualifies at 'Britains worst driver' or 'owner of a hair salon'. That's just ludicrous. And as for reality tv, well that belongs in Room 101.
I'll watch Big Brother occasionally but to be honest I find myself ridiculing them or feeling sorry for their craving for fame. Series 1 was interesting when it was an experiment but once the fame got attached, it became obvious that any contestant was after a quick ride to celebrity.
