Is it just here in the UK that we have so called celebritieswho are nothing more than some gold digger latching onto a name ? That little tart covered in a foot of make up, Alex Best just brought out her book on George Best, the paperback, the day after his funeral and renamed it my love of George. Amanada Holden says she used Les Dennis to seek fame. Even Margaret Thatchers daughter appeared on a teevision programme as a celebrity. It's a word too easily thrown around these days.As for Catherine Zeta Jones, well that speaks for it's self.

It's an industry, run by agents. All these so-called celebrities have their agents who rganise appearances on chat shows, game shows etc. And the programme-makers collude willingly, to fill their shows with "stars".

And we, the public, lap it up. Perhaps not you, Morris A, and certainly not me; but enough sheep out there will watch their programmes to justify their dumbing down of what used to be the best TV channels in Europe at least. Now it's no better than Italian TV.

Unless you know something about her that I don't have a clue about, Morris A, I don't know how it came about that you listed Catherine Zeta Jones among the money/celebrity grubbers. From what I have heard, she is just as good an actor as her husband and doesn't in any sense need his coattails. Not to mention that she has given him two children- so it's not as if she were keeping herself as a trophy.

I can relate to this, eh? My ass is a major celebrity all across the flippin' Norht Ontario! That is because I get around and girls know that I am the best! Just ask anyone. Except my idiot brother Don! And Rosie the Floozy over at the Iron Horse. She don't like me. I don't like her neither. She is a total skank. Don't bother askin' Emma neither. We ain't talkin'. And forget about Janine and Brittney and Britney and Brittney AND flippin' Brittany too! (buncha flippin' lamebrains that can't agree on how to spell one simple flippin' name...for simple flippin' girls!) They think they are "different" that way, but they are all the same! Trust me on this, eh?

Modern-day "celebrity" is nothing more than fodder for television. It's based upon whatever sells the most soap, not upon talent or any other of the criteria that have applied in previous times.

As I don't watch television I'm often totally unaware of the existence of people most folks would consider celebrities. The covers of magazines in grocery check-out lanes are filled with faces I don't recognize. I've seen the face of someone called "Jessica Simpson" a lot, but I have no idea what she does that makes her "famous".

If the issue of non-celebrity celebrities is really important to you, just cut the plug off your television set and it will go away.

This is strange ... just googled for Images of "Celebrate my ass" (hee hee i'm so BAD today) and the first site that came up was "Songs of the Great Depression".

Not sure what any of those lyrics have to do with celebrating ass, but I like'em! Maybe it's got something to do with this?

    "Life is just a bowl of cherries.
    Don't take it serious; it's too mysterious...
   
       There's a guy in the show, the girls love to kiss;
       Get thousands a week just for crooning like this:

    Life is just a bowl of . . . aw, nuts!
    So live and laugh at it all!"

(From "Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries," lyrics by Lew Brown, music by Ray Henderson (1931)

Who is Jessica Simpson? Where can we find her? We need new genetic material for our planet's breeding pools. Our planet is Dezubius, 307 light years from Earth, available through Wormhole 174A7. We are also seeking a Paris Hilton and a Britney Spears, one of each. Also a Hillary Clinton. Also a Marylin Chambers. All of their DNA will be parcelled out through our molecular separation chambers, ensuring that their genes (if not their jeans) will be passed on to millions and millions of future Dezubians in millenia to come. By this means we hope to encourage genetic diversity on Dezubius. Please help.

Use the word "actress" in public these days, and you're likely to find yourself arse deep in militant feminists, wielding castrating knives.

As for celebrity, don't knock it. It saves us having to pay extra taxes to support some of humanity's most useless members.

Don't agree about Catherine Zeta - Jones tho'. She is a first rate actress(oops! they'll be coming to get me), and I hope that none of her husband's talent rubs off on her. I'd hate to see her descend to a mere movie star.

Actress. Actress, actress, actress! Love that word. You heard me. Actress! Stewardess! Waitress! Do your worst.

I think Kriptomsezge has been sadly misled by the Earth media. If they can do it to the normal public, they can do it to alien races too. Scary stuff.

I looked up the Jordan woman, not having heard of her before. She appears to have had 2 flesh-colored watermelons grafted to her chest. Horrifying. She must be out of her friggin' mind.

Hi Liz!

Without demeaning your arse (which is indeed a most fine and pleasant one or so I must assume... not having been so ungentlemanly as to have had the impertinence to have gazed upon it), I originally had in mind that person amongst us whose arse itself is a celebrity because of its remarkable productive capacity in the vapour phase.

I would imagine that the word 'celebrity' derives from 'celebration'. I further surmise that the celebration comes from us - the people - not from those we celebrate. So, like just about anything else, we have what we desire.

What you need to understand is, while we ordinary folk have to go to work, graft hard while we are there, have few holidays and most probably do not realy enjoy the work we have to do to live, These so called celebrities, granted with little talent, except for showing off their bodys,or making a complete fool of themselves to gain the limelight, have the life most of us can only dream about, pots of money, long holidays, [while waiting for the next show to come along]All I wonder is this, are we daft, or are they..........

For a' that, and a' that,

The man of independent mind,

A celebrity is someone whom excessive attention has rendered unworthy of attention.

The wish to maximize the size of an audience is prima facie evidence of moral turpitude.

Applause makes a good time to fart.
