Why are people preoccupied with celebs???
 

My point of view is that most if not all celebs are in fact quite fucked up, why would anyone want to be interested in what goes on in their lives???

Why would anyone idolize someone who plays make believe for a living???

Why do little girls want to be like Britney Spears?? I mean she walks into a public restroom at a service station barefoot. FUNGUS!!!

I am curious as to who your idols are and why you put them there.

My idols and or heros were always historical figures that never really had anything to do with entertainment.

i have no idols.
the one or two people i admire are personal friends who have admirable qualities (remain decent under extreme adversity...etc)


most people admire celebrities because they represent something they dont have .. beauty, wealth, power, admiration.
(kind of the snake eating its tail isnt it)

sometimes they admire the skill of the craft (artist, actor, musician)- which is easier to understand .. but for the majority - its so they can live vicariously through the exploits of someone they could never be.

mine where animated

or space and time travlers, all finctonal though.

I only have one person I idolize and it's not because he's rich,famous,admired ect. it's because I want to be a writer for a living and make movies and he's been doing it forever and has done it very well,. As for who he's dating,been married to,likes to eat out at and all that other garbage I could care less.

what's wrong with that?

OH MY GOD DID YOU HEAR ABOUT BRAD AND JEN!?!?!?!?

Clint Eastwood?

yep.

Re: Why are people preoccupied with celebs???
 

1) Who cares?
2) Most people have no lives
3) Nobody cares about ugly people. Johnny Depp is hawT with a capital T. "HawTuhh"

Oh jesus, I hope they talk about Ben's new haircut on e! tonight.

Re: Re: Why are people preoccupied with celebs???
 

this is true

if people want to know stuff about celebrities and admire 'em who cares.

You have to admit some of it is kinda interesting if not their personal life the things they've done in the industry, I watch Inside the Actor's Studio all the time to see and hear about what they had to do to get in the buisness and the technics they use for certain situations ect. ect.

did someone hear anything??

*rolls back over and snores back to sleep.

I thought you were dopey.

no I'm sleepy... are you snow white?

this sounds like the beginning of a bad cyber sex experience.

do you know what I'm talking about?

no clue. I guess it's from some snow white parody or something?

Re: Re: Why are people preoccupied with celebs???
 

Well its obvious somebody cares, thats why there is US, Entertainment Weekly, People, The Enquirer, The Star and several thousand other publications on the rack that all deal with celebs and what goes on in their lives. Not to mention the dozen or so shows on the tele that deal with celebs and their lifestyles.

Here is a great example of the sheeple and their stupidity, evidently Ashton Kutchner has taken a liking to wearing trucker hats, I had no idea they were called that but so be it.

Anyways it seems that in downtown Chicago people are spending up to $75 dollars for these hats. Especially John Deere hats. The reason I say this is I own a John Deere hat, got it at Farm & Fleet for 5.99 about 2 years ago. I never thought that it was trendy, just thats what us bakward ass country fuks wear out here in the styx.

A guy at work asked me if I was a big Ashton Kutchner fan. I was like "HUH??" you know cos' of the hat.

Hell if these morons want to spend that kind of money on a stupid hat that some celeb wears, I have a closet full, John Deere, Mack Trucks, Peterbilt, International Harvester, etc. I will even throw in the grease spots and stink of diesel fuel for free.

Maybe I should go buy a case and sell them downtown and make my fortune.

And I agree Johnny Depp is kinda Hhhhhhhhooooooooooottttttttt
if I had to go that way, :D

Sorry John I gotta drive though.

I think she was saying who cares about people liking celebrities.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Why are people preoccupied with celebs???
 

Who cares what cares what she cares about?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Why are people preoccupied with celebs???
 

who cares if you don't care about what she cares about.

You do, you brought it up.:p

I am only joking. Your right who gives a flying Fook what I think, it is really surprising to me that people actually care what you think when they think that you really dont give a fook about them or anything else for that matter.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Why are people preoccupied with celebs???
 

I was just kiddin too, I was just going along with the who cares thing.

I care what you think, Creeper, and I hate celebrities with a blinding passion.

Matt Groening because he is god

i dont hate celebrities .. i dont know them ..

but i hate the idea of celebrity- and the result of it.

the best part is that the only thing people like to do more than build these celebrities up, is to tear them down again..
pop culture cannibalism....
one more example how 99% of the people on this planet are fucking morons.

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

I am not a moron.:cool:

how can you hate someone you don't even know?

Envy is a beautiful thing.;) :rolleyes:

The only celebrity I like is Christopher Walken.

so your into old men

ZING!!!

You're an idiot.

I don't idolize anyone...there are some people I wish I looked like and/or wish I could be like. And I really like the celebs I've met and the ones who send me emails or messages on MySpace or something...and I get excited to meet or talk to the celebs that I like, but I don't exactly idolize them...they're just people...very lucky people, but still people.
When I was a kid I think there were some celebs I was a little too obsessed with...but as I got older I realized it's stupid to be too overly obsessed with anybody, especially somebody I don't even know that doesn't give a damn about me or even know that I exist.

*cough* Mariah Carey *cough*

Look, I know it's wrong to hate celebs, but I can't help it. I think about their decadence while so many people in the world suffer. It makes me sick.

how can you hold that against them?

I don't know why but this just made me break out laughing.

Well have you read the guy's posts?

It's nothin' but gibberish!
