Who are fed up with these so called celebrities?

Answer 1

Oh my word, yes.

Answer 2

Famous people have been around for a very long time, aided by newspapers, and later radio then television.

Some celebrities have talent (some a lot). That's why some went from being practically unknown to famous. For some , it took years of effort and work. They may be famous for one thing but have other, not so well publicised talents too. This fact doesn't seem to get mentioned very often.

You could argue that some, or many, celebrities earnings are out of proportion to their talents but the same could be said for wooly-minded judges, some MPS, doctors. lawyers and solicitors. At least celebrities are usually frank about how lucky they are to be in that position (the position is sometimes relatively short-lived). 'Professionals' think that their 3-5 years at university entitles them to a lifetime of riches. At least celebrities give a bit of entertainment.

To the person who said Lindsay Lohan is a fake- she has been an actress since she was very young and her performances have regularly attracted praise. How is she fake?

Answer 3

I feel we ought to look with ourselves and our societies and ask ourselves why someone who sings other peoples songs or repeats words other people have written deserves so much money, importance and newspaper column inches. The ask why it is that when a 'celebrity' dies there are flowers sent from all over the world as if their life is more important than say a nurse who has saved the lives of many. Or a charity worker who has enriched the lives of others or has touched some one else. So next time we pick up a newspaper with a salacious scoop in to a 'celebs' life we ought to ask how us as an individual we are perpetuating this ongoing wrong. being a celebrity is not what it used to be, it used to mean god given talent and enviable skill where as now for the girls it means fake tan, scrappy hair xtensions, boob job and a footballer boyfriend and for boys passable good looks and mediocre skill in their chosen field and a girlfriend in an equally mediocre band i.e girls aloud.

Answer 4

I can see the interest...it is a sign of the growing space between socioeconomic classes...to see how the filthy rich live.

I have no interest in what they do...the images presented are not accurate anyway. I never trust any hollywood wedding occurs because of love. Probably more for publicity.

All of it makes people think they are not living a good life....that things are on TV to show us how we should be living, and where our lives should be going. Not good. It gives younger kids the idea that adulthood will be this way, and doesn't really teach them anything. Yes, I am fed up.

Answer 5

I'm TOTALLY fed-up with the "Big Brother" & soap-opera etc type people. Can't even call them celebrities !!
In my opinion, a real celebrity has talent, & works hard to maintain their celebrity status.
There are far too many talentless imposters around these days.

Answer 6

Inventing celebrities as though they were falling of the production line appears to be the media's way of filling the gap in finding interesting programmes to produce.

The outcome is that the celebritie status is plummeting and more and more of them find themselves demeaning themselves to keep in the limelight.

With the consequences of taking even more form the status of celebrity.

Its almost more of a status symbol to be great but a complete mystery.

Answer 7

Beyond fed up. I don't understand how someone who didnt even win that shite Big Bro gets to prolong their 'celebrity'? Detest reality shows to my very core. Dont really care what Tom (Alien dude) or JLO (J-HO) or Beyonce (Begone or Beyond or Bedraggled LOL) or Jade (where do I start?) get up to, with whomever. Why cant people get worked up over war, poverty, famine? I hope the 'obsession' ends soon.

Answer 8

I am soooooooooooooooooo fed up with them. But the sad thing is, it's us, the public, who create these so called celebrities.

Answer 9

Being 'fed up' is one thing...but I suspect some of us hold a somewhat strong envy at the attention they have (envy is the second most played sport, - in the UK - along with hypocrisy. Hypocrisy, one asks? Well yes - we gawp at car crashes on motoways, then back home, scream on the net or in newspapers about the proposed showing of Mr. Hammonds' disaster).

Answer 10

The Paris Hilton type and the ones from the reality shows who turn up for an opening of an envelope

Answer 11

Me too. Most of them haven't done anything worth celebrating or celebratory. However, I imagine some of them had the celebrity 'tag' bestowed upon them by the media rather than by an honest representation of society (like me!!).
