I don't get it.....
So I'm at my neighbours last night for Xmas drinks, and she's excited as hell because she was out clubbing the previous night with Lady Gaga and Paris Hilton (both of whom are in town at the moment)!
All night she kept passing her digital camera around showing everyone pictures of herself and these two ridiculous women—all teeth and hair—and expected us to be impressed. WTF is this all about? Are these women important? And if they are, and you happen to be with them, does that make you important? Who are these people?

Ever read Milan Kundera's "Immortality"?
That'll explain it a lot.

What if it was Steve McQueen and Betty Grable? Same thing.

Isn't Lady Gaga actually a man?

What's a Lady Gaga? I don't see the hype over Paris, to me she's a mutt.

Many Americans have such boring, pedestrian, unrealized lives that they invest themselves in celebrity. Witness all those poor souls right here on OT whose lives are shattered by Tiger Woods fooling around.

Say you hung out with Michael Shumacher and Kimi Raikkonen one night, I'd wager that you couldn't post up pictures fast enough, send all your buddies emails, etc...
As Gogar mentioned, same thing.

I have no doubt the women mentioned have some talent, you just have been unable to discern what it is.

If someone on this board had a chance to hang with a Superstar Rock Band, the pics would be all over the place. You know, someone huge, like Big Head Todd and the Monsters. I heard the keyboard player parties like an ANIMAL!

Yeah but race car drivers and rock stars are famous (as has been said) because they have a skill... and they have worked hard at developing their skills...
Whereas Paris and Lady whoever are famous for being famous, not that I fault them for that... if someone wanted to pay me mega bucks to watch me trim my toenails I would take the money. I am a native Los Angeleno and had heard more than my share of "I partied with blah blah" or "I am related to blah blah". In Kauai I was trying to enjoy the peace and beauty of Paradise (and a Mai Tai) at a bar with a view when some goof ball started spouting loud enough for the whole bar to hear about his exploits with various rock stars (think the stones were mentioned) all I could think was "how pathetic that you see yourself as having no redeeming value"

My only brush with fame has been with David Robinson when both he and I parked near eachother and were exiting our cars. He was in a Cayenne, me in the 924S and I commented on his car. Apparently he's not much of a car guy. Or he thought the 924S was an older RX-7

Trixie ( Paula Malcomson), from Deadwood is coming to our house for lunch tomorrow.
Friend of the little woman. I wish i was invited. Hen party. There, I "name dropped". Due to my boring, pedestrian, unrealized life. Did i mention my day spent with Omar Sharif?. Another boring, pedestrian, unrealized life kind-of-day, yes it was. Last edited by creaturecat; 12-12-2009 at 08:21 AM.. |

I spent over 25 years working in the hotel industry and met several celebrities. The only stories that I tell was when Lloyd Bridges asked me where he could rent some Scuba equipment and when I made Sonny B**o return some Jewlery that he charged to his room that he bought at a store concession for a 19 year old Bimbo he was traveling with and wanted me to direct bill his charges. The discussion in the lobby got pretty heated.
