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"
