Why arent doctors,scientists,teachers,firefighters famous as actors and musicians?I mean they save lives,they teach the future leaders,they make new discoveries to finding cures for illnesses and discovering new ways to live with technical stuff.Why don't I ever see people going up to doctors and asking for their autograph for saving someone life at the hospital or asking a teacher for an autograph who taught a struggling student to graduate at the top of the class.Actors are entertainers and sometimes they arent good role models look at paris hilton,britney spears...ect had never given a good example.DO you agree with me?whats your point of view?

I couldn't agree with you more!!! They are ALL way to recoginized and WAYYYYY overpaid. They have more money than they can spend in 10 lifetimes. I believe that a Dr. that saves someones life is far more worth the millions than someone who gets it for singing!! Yes, I know that its the people that support them but I think its all too much!!! I dont get into the whole celeb thing but I know people who are like die hards for them!!!

I agree completely, but there are famous teachers, Einstein, Anne Sullivan, Budda, as well as doctors, Jarvik, Curry, etc. We just don't choose to idolize them. Mostly because they don't have the life styles of the actors or the publicists either.
Personally I have never thought of Paris or Britney as role models. They are kinda sad when you think about it. It's a shame that the only way that they can get people to talk about them is by flashing their hoochies!

Because of their acting abilities, looks, charm and good managers to help them get the right roles to play. Publicity helps too. Doctors, scientists, teachers etc. are so interested in helping others to be healthier that they don't look for publicity and are not looking to sign autographs. Many times when you have a Doctors appointment, you have to wait hours just to get them to write a perscription.

Celebrities are famous mainly because the media provides a constant onslaught of information about these people on a daily basis, and we as individuals feed off of this useless information because we have a thirst to know about those who lead less than normal lives, whether they be positive or negative. So therefore it is a mix of the media and human nature.

I do agree with you. Americans are a superficial people and have their priorities all wrong. But it will only change when Americans start spending more dollars on medical, scientific and educational magazines than they do on "rag mags" and movie tickets.
