Hey D...good thread idea.

Ben Affleck.  Made of plastic, goes through the motions onscreen..Damon is the talented one.

Bjork.  I mean, seriously, WTF?  See also PJ Harvey.

Indigo Girls.  Apparently famous for having their CDs burned on granola, or something..

Peter Fonda.  How long can one unremarkable person bleed a family name?  See also Ted Kennedy, LaToya Jackson.

John Travolta.  Just never got the appeal.

"It" as in socialite who has it all, almost Jet Set like.

That was until the public learnt of her anorexia and cocaine addiction.

Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagul and the rest of the usual Stone faced hong kong fui type actors who were bred into the bnext Arnies category...

Arnie is the king of cheesy action flicks but the two guys above are fucking shit.

Keaunu Reeves, Bill and Ted and the Original Matrixx worked...apart from that hes shit.

Bjork.  I mean, seriously, WTF?


I'm not a fan but now you hit the rock bottom. She's talented...he brought her own style in the 90's that nobody hadn't invented yet. I saw this document where many talented composers and musicians appraised this child of nature known by Bj?rk. even some rappers said that there are amazing sound samples going on in her songs..that's why 'cause Bj?rk use the sounds of Iceland's nature on her songs etc...If I remember in the document there were Bono, David Bowie and some others famous people talking about Bj?rk and her career.

"It" as in socialite who has it all, almost Jet Set like.

Actually....

an 'it' girl is a 1920's term

The elite wouldn't use words like sex, they would use 'inferences' like 'it' instead.

Though i have never heard of the person in question described as an 'it' girl, thats what it means.....

Is it really ? thanks, i didn't know that. I guess the terms must have changed over the years then.
From what i know of the british elite, they are far less prude now than what most people make them.

As for TPT, she was friends with the son of Prince Charles mistress, Camilla Parler Bowles.
He is a case too that one.. :hihi:

Paris Hilton!  She doesn't do anything.  Actually, that's incorrect; she's doing lots now, but she was doing nothing before, but that's why she became famous enough so that they would give her her own TV show, movies, book deals, etc.  Has anyone heard this airhead on TV shows?  She's so bland, dull, fake, and not even that hot!  Fuck off.

1) models

Any model.

Their job is to wear clothes to show the CLOTHES off, not them.
We shouldn't even know their name, we should know the name of the jumper they wear. or the cream.

2) Playmates/ Porn actors male and female

I don't find it normal that mister and misses "normal" with their " normal" kids know of people whose job is to sell or help sell sex.

3) Computer Engineers who invented something but who became mega stars with huge egos when they are people most of us would hate to know and don't want to know about anyway?

4) serial killers who end up having a fan club and corresponding with teenagers from prison, that baffles me

My list of "how the hell did they become famous people?!"

That Subway guy.  Come on... seriously... if you walked 7 miles to and from every meal, you could eat quarter pounders with cheese and drink a vat of Crisco with every meal and still lose weight.

Carrot Top.

Yahoo Serious.  I know what those words mean separately... but, combined?  Is that his real name?  Are his parents Yippee and Woohoo Serious?  And, I'm guessing his adopted brother, the serious (pardon the pun) one of the family is Completely Serious...

Vanilla Ice.  You rewrote music that had been around for 20 years.... then, you lied about your upbringing... and you got praised for all of this?

David Hassellhoff.  An even bigger mystery.... why is he worshipped as a god across the Atlantic?

Dennis Rodman.  While playing for the Detroit Pistons, he was one of the most dedicated and hard working men in the NBA.  Growing up in Detroit, trust me... Rodman was idolized as being a working class man in a working class town.  Virtually NO notice paid to him outside of Detroit until he starts showing up in wedding dresses marrying himself (please note, this is more a "why the hell wasn't he famous for just being a damn hardworking basketball player?")

Jim Morrison.  To quote Denis Leary's retelling of Jim Morrison's life "I'm drunk, I'm nobody.  I'm drunk, I'm famous.  I'm drunk, I'm fucking dead."  I guess I just missed the appeal of the Doors in general.

Models are celebrities today, unlike in the 1950s when they were just faces with no names. I don't think Victoria's Secret, Revlon, and other companies would be as popular if it weren't for the famous models selling their products. And they should be recognized for that.

Problem is, they are not respected.

People know more of their tits than the product itself.

And call me bigot if ya like, it's not good for generations of little girls..That's not right.

That's not right to show million dollar lingerie on just about 18 year old girls who parade in front of potential sugar GRANDADIES..

You want that as an example for your little girls ? You want your little boys to think girls are all whores providing you pay enough ?

I don't fucking do !

We have a collective responsability and so do models !

not all modeling is like that.  I agree with you, and I dont approve of that kind of modeling.  But dont shuve it all into one category because there is a difference between that and fashion modeling.  And I dont think fashion modeling gives it a bad image.  I think the most beautiful and most artistic form to exist is the human body, it's motions, the face and it's expressions, and there is nothing more beautiful than that to create art by using art is self - which is the body.  Yeah if you look at the social side of it, I can see how it's bad, if you look at the trashy side of it, it's bad.  But if you look at it with that view, then that's what it will be.  It's your responsibilty to upbring your children with integrity, morals, with the right vision of what life is to where when they go out on their own they turn their heads from that kind of stuff because they stuff will always be around, in person as well, and it is on the other half responsibility of the trashy models out there who do that.  I grew up with a mother who taught morals and integrity, and not just teach it but WHY they are to be, and I have a perfect vision of what modeling is and what is bad trashy modeling that shouldnt exist, and I also have a healthy body image, so yeah it is that a LOT.  I plan on being a fashion model, I want to be a super model, and Im not gonna do it the world's way, and Im gonna use my voice to change a lot in this world.  Dont stereo type models into just tits and ass because that's only one kind of modeling.

I dont wanna get into on this because I dont wanna off-topic it, so please dont reply.

By the way, since ppl seem to think I have attitude, I PROMISE non of that was attitude, I was just saying my piont of view
