Am I the only person who is starting to get peeved off with celebrities?

Australian celebrities, on the whole, behave pretty well and are fairly down-to-earth good people.

But, some of these american celebrities have lost total touch with reality. Ones who behave weirdly or badly have lost the plot. I find that a good proportion of them are extremely shallow and have no idea about real life.

There are solid decent people among them (like Hugh Jackman), but a good proportion of them need a reality check.

celebrity gossip is bottom of the barrell as far as 'entertainment' goes...makes me worry for peoples' intelligence. Would be glad to never hear about the lot of them ever again.

The worst are these semi celebrities who are famous for being famous. The kardashians are a prime example. WTF have any of them done? I think Kim was a model or something. The formula seems to be that you just need to be half decent looking and hang out with the right people. Then you get a reality show because your family is disfunctional and suddenly you are "famous". Seriously, who honestly gives a sh*t about these people?

A good 5 min clip from TV show "Extras" (christmas special) that sums up the pointlessness of our fetish for celebrity quite nicely.

(His character is meant to be in Celebrity Big Brother, and "Hello" is a UK magazine, similar to New Idea etc.)

I think your mistaking celebrities for yanks.

And I wouldn't believe everything you read in those trashy woman's mags, I reckon 90% is bullsh*t.

The problem isn't celebrities, it's the countless number of idiots that support them.

Think about it: if people had fulfilling lives they wouldn't need to spend so much time supporting celebrities because they'd have their own achievements to revel in. People who are "famous for being famous" simply exploit the dull lives of others to become famous. People like Paris Hilton because they think she is interesting, they envy her life, they wish they could live like her. She uses this popularity to then make even more money because thousands of unfulfilled zombies want to be just like her.

Celebrities are just a reflection of the population that adores them, if people weren't superficial then neither would celebrities. People feed them, and they feed off the people. Moral of the story is: stop being an idiot and starting focusing on your own life instead of someone else's.

Australian "celebrities" are mediocre at best; Ruby Rose being the best example followed not to far behind by the likes of Hewitt and his missus, Hamish and Andy, Rove and his cronies et al

Kim Kardashian is only famous for her sex tape, the rest of the Kardashians are famous for her sex tape also. Thats it

LOL look at your own backyard first before commenting on others.
