Who DOESN'T deserve the fame they have?

[MrBrightside919]

The Kardashians...

Seriously, why are they famous? I've NEVER heard of them before that stupid E! show came on...

I never really got the impression that she was outrageously stupid, but her fame is completely undeserved. Am I the only one that finds her unattractive? Hm?

Probably not.

But for a gal who wants marijuana to be legalized, and who consider a "good time" to just stay at home and having sex all day, I can't help but admire her a little.

I know your description of her peaked my interest.

Maybe she could start a new fad of "sex all day". *crosses fingers*

ARE YOU DERANGED?! That would cut in to Call of Duty and Diablo II time! How could I possibly fit in any gaming if I'm getting laid from sunup to sundown?!

With practice I think you could do both at the same time.

I think the bigger question is who DOES deserve the fame they have. It'd probably be a much shorter list, like maybe 5 people.

One of those five: Eric Idol

I tried listing a person who doesn't deserve their fame and brain farted so I just put up an actor who does deserve his fame ... even if it is waning a bit at this point

I respect disliking Lady Gaga, god knows her style is pretty much love it or hate it. However, those saying she doesn't deserve her fame should direct their dislike at other pop singers who are nothing more than pretty faces. Lady Gaga writes her own music and she's an excellent singer/pianist. She presents a persona that she has acknowledged as being fake. Lady Gaga is a character that is played by a real person. People need to realize that she never stops performing, and when she does actually sing, she sings! She has the best live act of almost any artist. It's completely over the top and ridiculous, and it's exactly what people need to escape from their mundane regular lives.

Everyone who has fame deserves it. To be famous simply means you get the attention of many, if you succeed at that it doesn't matter how you've earned your fame.

I'm going to say anyone in this list [http://www.top40-charts.com/] with the disclaimer that I haven't completely looked it through - there might be some talent in it after all.

 

[VargRaev]

Musicians who are only famous because the masses have branded them as hot, i still remember the *Discussions* i had in school...

Also, That guy who wrote the Eragon books... on the other hand, if thats the standard for todays books maybe i could get a slice of the cake.

And a lot of others.

JACK THOMPSON!!!!!

 

[MelziGurl]

I don't have a problem with people being famous for whatever reason, I have a problem with the sheer amount of fame some celebrities have gained from being basically nothing.

 

[scrambledeggs]

Paris Hilton, famous for being famous.

 

[Kud]

Zac Efron.

 

[xXDoctor OctagonapusXx]

Umm... On teh internetz Fred??????????!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?)()()(!)

 

[Hookman]

The guy from Twilight. He has starred in count 'em 2! big films and is already writing his autobiography!

 

[Terramax]

Much better question, who do you think deserves to be more famous than they are? If they are at all.

Back in 2003 I would've said Edward Norton. But then he acted in mainstream films like The Italian Job, did that overhyped character in Kingdom of Heaven and then officially sold out with 'The Incredible Hulk'.

I think the reason he did become a sellout was because he didn't receive much fame and respect as he should've for films such as Fight Club and American History X.

I respect disliking Lady Gaga, god knows her style is pretty much love it or hate it. However, those saying she doesn't deserve her fame should direct their dislike at other pop singers who are nothing more than pretty faces. Lady Gaga writes her own music and she's an excellent singer/pianist. She presents a persona that she has acknowledged as being fake. Lady Gaga is a character that is played by a real person.

Yes but all of that is completely shot to pieces by the simple fact that her music sounds HORRID!

For instance, The Scissor Sisters performed in the same flambouyant way years before, but the difference being their music is awesome.

You dig?

People who do deserve the fame they have are people with genuine talent in their respective fields, such as Will Smith and Johnny Depp, Tim Burton, Quentin Tarantino, Muse, Queen, etc.

Those who don't deserve their fame are those with little or no talent, like Uwe Boll, the Pussycat Dolls, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie, and so on.

You can probably work out the rest of these respective lists from those definitions.

 

[konkwastaken]

MEGAN FOX! A prime example of how false beauty is more important than talent.

whats false about it? she is damn hot.

 

[Daedalus1942]

Katy Perry easy.
