Couldn't have said it better myself.

Though on Paris Hilton, I don't begrudge her for her choice in parents. And any hot male celebrity who can bang any hot lady he wants isn't called anything but lucky.

I propose that they are famous because they can get people on Internet forms who don't like them to start threads about them. :D

Tom Cruise? I watched Top Gun when it came out mostly because I love F-14's. I caught it again recently on TV and couldn't believe how bad it is... and the NASCAR film he did? Caught that on TV also recently... hoo boy what a stinker.

As for the people in the list, why do you care... who of us, if offered a big pile of money to play pretend in front of a camera, would turn down the money? I would take the money and run in a second.

hmmm... I guess I am not in their targeted demographic range...

next time I will hit the mute button and try to imagine her talking dirty to me, that should help :D

Speaking of Paris....she's everywhere because peoples want to see her....Stop to talk of her and she will disappear...!

But who are these people who want to see her? I see the paparazzi all over her on tv, but I've never known anyone who gave a $hit about that stuff.

But then I guess Anna Nicole Smith should be added to the list too.

Millions of standup comedians work to find a niche that will sell, Carrot Top was one of the few to successfully design and market his. Again, the market doesn't lie. Scoreboard.

There are lots of fat lesbian pigs that say stupid stuff, that don't become multi-millionaire stand-up comedians and world famous television personalities. It is, I believe, slightly harder to achieve than you may think.

Paris Hilton, well, she's a bit different than just about everyone else mentioned. Although, yes, she is the embodiment of the American dream for many today. Millions dream of being a wealthy celebrity without having to do much.

I'll let you in on a secret: Celebrity worship has now taken over from baseball as America's No. 1 Pastime.

Or we could shorten that to just millions dream of being wealthy without having to do much.

Pigs are very intelligent and I would prefer we stop bringing them up in this thread.

Look in the mirror.

See how many threads and posts there have been on Rosie and Paris in this board, even though everyone here claims to see no reason why they should get so much attention.

You're all part of the problem.

that's the head of the nail right there, and you hit it. the majority of the consuming public will always gravitate toward that which is the easiest to digest. why do you think modern hip hop is so popular? :D

I can't tell you how much I miss not having tv.

Courtney Love.

Dr. Phil - worthless.

Yup.

Or Vanilla Sky.
