The ones said before, Hilton, Cruise and Holmes.
Also for me Jim Carrey - so not funny in my opinion.
In general all those "I´m famous because I´m so rich girls" like Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton etc etc
What have they done in life that should make them famous?

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Idiot actors if I've ever seen 'em.
"I aim to misbehave."
"Can't do something smart, do something right".
HOMER: "Oh Lisa, you and your stories; Bart is a vampire, beer kills brain cells. Now lets go back to that... building thingy... where our beds and T.V.... is".

I just do not get Britney Spears. Gorram slut can't sing her way out of a wet paper bag, and she's completely disgusting at just about everything else she's ever tried, so where's it writ that we have to drop everything and fawn and google and ooh and ahh when she reproduces?
The railroad I work for ships liquid chlorine. I'll have to see if I can get a carload for the gene pool.

oh, credit to dan brown though. His writing may suck and his work may be hanging around like a fart in a spacesuit, but he has got the church and all these historians and academics so riled up and self righteously flustered over one little paperback bit of fluf that every time I see one of them, I just have to laugh my little ass off.
I'm sorry, I did aim for humor, but I find It very hard to see the funny when it come to Mr Highpants.
Apart from his hair - road kill, its the worse hair since donald trump. You just want to offer both of them (the 'do's) some food and water. That makes me giggle.
the last one was Catherine Zeta Jones. I've never found her particularly remarkable, looks or talent or other wise (oh she's good looking, but blandly so) she only seened to make it major league when she started boinking the old dude.
Have you seen the Pink vidoe for 'stupid girls' thats funny.
Though what you were saying misses the point very slightly. These people are all famouse, the press go after them and their babys, because the 'celebs' are attention whores and make it really easy for them. Actors like Maggie are very private about their lives basically cause beyond the exhibitionism inherant in almost all actors, they are normal people. They go to premiers and press junkets as part of their jobs, then they go home and be normal.
Paris Hilton doesn't have a job, Simon cowells was nearly so interesting, Toms was in decline (after all the scientology madness dented his popularity) (mind you, he hasn't really helped that, but TomKat got him through to the opening of MI:3) so being papped is pretty much all they have.We set up a culture where useless oiks hang around like the aformentioned farts because the people we are really interested in don't whore themselves out for us, and the human mind thrives on new information and gossip.
Though whoever said tom and brad were crap - one exception - i liked them both in Interview (Kirsten acted them out of the room, but they were still good in their own right) and both of them used to be the very epitome of 'star quality' - they were there when that was what was needed.

99.9% of all UK 'celebrities'.
Jordan, Chantelle, Jodie Marsh, Tara P-T, Simon Cowell, Every 'big brother' retard, Chris Martin, Kerry Katona, etc... etc... etc...
The whole concept of celebrity completely astounds me. I mean, Jade Goody became famous for being an idiot on big-brother. She didn't even win but then she did celebrity wife swap and now Jeff Brazier as an extention is apparantly a celebrity... They broke up... He doesn't have a job... The only TV he's done is on celebrity versions of reality shows... How does that work???
Sorry people, I guess I got carried away... Sore topic!

Dark Angel, Firefly, Buffy, Angel, Enterprise, Farscape... anything else you'd like to cancel?

Heh, heh. She said "Brazier"...
Beavis. Leave this thread immediately!
Ah, UK Celebs. The inherent contradiction in terms says it all, really.
Jodie Marsh. Wow. Memorable Self-Destruct horror in front of literally dozens of Big Brother viewers.
Baffling, given her line of work. I assume you are supposed to look at her body, but I don't mind admitting that I was utterly transfixed by her nose.
I mean What. The. Hell? I've not seen the like since the last repeat of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
G, (hiding in a hedge with a telephoto and a papparazo in a pear tree near you. Say Cheese. And can you show a bit of shoulder, darlin'?)

I'm going to chime in here with a few people who aren't that big any more but who used to be huge. I'm widening the topic to anyone whose celebrity has ever baffled you.
Kevin Costner. I just never understood it. How did this man win any Oscars. Not only can he not act, he can't even do an english accent, not of any kind (his Robin Hood had me gagging).
Hillary Duff. Thank god she seems to have fallen of the face of the Earth into those stupid "liquid ice" commercials. Mediocre singer, mediocre actress, unmemorable cookie cutter barbie doll. Her fame really upset me and made me fear for humanity. For that matter, so do most of the most of the folks named on this thread.
Jerry Seinfeld. I'm sure that many people will disagree with me and I'm not looking to start an argument, but I never found him or his show to be funny. More like painfully stupid and often boring.
William Hung.

Just why! This one actually made me want to stab someone in the face. What I could never figure out was why he was singled out to laugh at. Yes he was horrible and faintly amusing in a sad, disturbing kind of way. But so are a lot of the people that try out for that show. From what I've seen of American Idol (which isn't much) he wasn't anything special as far as the horrid and the embarassing go. Now we're not only celebrating mediocre talent but mediocre suckage as well. What does that say about our culture?

I have to agree about Seinfeld. Cannot stand his show; its reruns are near the top of my must-miss TV list.
How-some-ever....the very first name that popped into my mind was Tom Cruise. Why does hollywood insist on runing good movies by casting him in them?
