Why are the following people famous?

No, they became famous by virtue of their incredible faults.

Carrottop is not only insanely ugly (and orange), but has built his act on being annoying and stupid. People universally love to hate him.

Rosie is a fat lesbian pig, pure and simple. She flaps her fat lips and says stupid stuff. Really, quite similar to Carrottop.

Paris is a rich, spoiled b!tch. Oh yeah, and a slut with her own sex tape. Her biggest accomplishment was being born to rich parents.

Yeah, but they're the American dream alright, you betcha!

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.

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.

You mean Lindsay Wagner? OMG, I worshipped her when she was the bionic woman. She's still a smoking MILF. Bite your tongue. And that Asian lady in the same commercial ain't bad either. I'd hit 'em both.

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

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

[Rick Lee]

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.

Carrot Top - I get mad just looking at his photo on the billboards in Vegas.

Rosie O'Donnel - I thought you had to have brains, beauty or talent, but she has none of them.

Paris Hilton - What is she good at besides getting paparazzi to show up?

Who else is worthless?

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?

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

Courtney Love.

Dr. Phil - worthless.

Yup.

Or Vanilla Sky.

Or Magnolia.

Or Eyes Wide Shut.

The guy is an astonishingly good actor when he has the right material. As good as any out there.
