So Called Celebrity Culture.
I know how many times the celebrity issue has been raised with the "high profile" reality TV programs but it's time to bloody focus on these people.
What makes a celebrity, well decades ago, a celebrity was someone who had made a name for themselves by working up the acting ladder, maybe from extra to lead actor. Or the musicians who had become famous through tireless dedication to the love of their art. Now we send someone into a house, give them EVERYTHING they need to live, things to occupy their mind, food to eat, drinks to get mashed on, and what do we do then. Some sit on sofas, watching people sitting on sofas. talking absolute sh!t, they act like Muppet's, they show us EVERY conceivable reason why we should NOT treat these people as gods. Then they come out and the great world public sheep, are all there bleating away,(had to get a few sheep in) following the crowd wanting more and more and more of this boswellocks. We want photos, we want to know who's bloody who, we want to know who's fallen off their diet, who's pregnant, who's getting married, who's getting divorced,well deep down who bloody cares. It is a complete enigma to me why people propagate this need for more press coverage of celebrity's. None, ABSOLUTELY NONE of the celebrity's in the world ever actually do anything in their life that affects us in anyway. So why do we bump up their bank balances by paying for magazines that pay these plebs large sums of cash for a few photos. People actually model themselves on those who are famous for five minutes. People emulate the likes of Jade bloody Goody and aspire to be talentless wasters like (insert the name of Z-list celeb here ".....................") Am I making any sense here? Do you see my point? Celebrities... If you are one, chances are, you are a c---.!

Jeeze Padi, for a guy who says he doesn't want to hear or see anything about any celebrities, you sure do focus on them a lot..........rather than get your knickers on a knot, why not just ignore them.......
