The answer is no...we cant think for ourselves anymore...that's why we need celebs to think for us...we need them to decide what we wear, what to eat...where to go...even how to think...they're really our little puppets if you think about it...we pull their strings and they jump...they make all the hard (which are rudimentary) decisions for us so we don't have to...I don't envy you your task...to get people to think for themselves...don't envy you one bit...if you want my advise give up the whole thing...people have this insatiable ability for doing the wrong thing that has been developing for millenniums...gossip as well rules our lives...negative circumstance seem to demand our undivided attention...what plane crashed where...who shot who...and then there's the rumor/myth thing...aliens ahave taken over so an sos' body...were just children in a candy factory...and willie wonka is spitting out choco balls like no ones around...

Oh Yes!
This celebrity culture gets right on my nerves. Its bad enough when they have some talent, but now people are becomind c list celebrities ( clebs) by being rubbish at something. You can't turn on a tv without falling over Jade bloody Goody now.
Start to fight back - now. Band together and ignore celebs. Don't buy their records, don't talk about them, and most of all don't buy any newspapers or magazines which prominently feature clebs.
The first step is to stop asking questions on Yahoo! answers about clebs. Go on. Don't ask any, I wonder how many days it will be until the category gets pulled.
Within a few months you will see George Michael down the job centre with Michael Barrymore and Posh.

People should stop hyping celebrities up, stop going to their movies and stop buying the magazines. We need some new celebrity faces in there anyway. I'm sick of the same ones. I can't stand Jennifer Aniston on the cover of every magazine. I can't stand all the hype over these ordinary people. People need to get a real life ans stop living through all these movie celebs.

Oh, God, yes. Time Out here in London took a bold editorial step a year or so ago and lost all the celebs plugging and made London itself the centrepiece of the magazine's articles. A much better magazine. Sales have gone up.

Its crazy because I say the same things to my colleagues. Every time we turn around there is some adoption, divorce, or marriage. We have to just stop buying the magazines and ignore the talk about celebrities. At the end of the day the difference between us and them is that they are wealthy. If we stop listening they will stop reporting.

I don't care about vacuous celebrities. I have no interest in their affairs, but I can't help seeing the cover of gossip magazines lining the area toward supermarket checkout stations. What strikes me about them is that they are ordinary people who have suddenly been inserted into a fairy tale pretend world, and have forgotten that they are ordinary people. They get a little carried away.

I agree with you. They are really very ordinary people who happened to be in the right place at the right time. Often they are not very admirable either. The press just whip up interest to make more money out of folk who are dazzled or enjoy a good scandal. It is all very boring for the rest of us.

Finally people are waking up and smelling the coffee. People pay to read about them and see pictures of them, people are held to ransom over exclusive wedding pictures. Who do celebrities think they are? Who do they think makes them famous? and then they have the cheek to charge us to know more about them? It is absolutely sickening.
What is more is when people talk about them all the time too. How can anyone care that much about complete strangers who have no major political influence or significance in their lives. Glad to see you are one of the wise. As for following their fashion sense or home decorating taste? Give me a break...

Save your money, and by the end of the year you'd have enough to go out and celebrate.
I couldn't give a **** what Posh ate for breakfast, or Jordan's favourite song.
They are all untalented and uninteresting.

I do but instead of getting rid of celebrities I'd reform them so that they could stand as good examples for young people who tend to be influenced by them. Like in old Hollywood before world war II.
