Do you really care about the Kardashians, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, etc......? Do you think they would cross the street to spit
on you if you were on fire? I am amazed at how so many people in this world are so taken with these people who are "famous for being
famous"! Some people live vicariously through these so called celebs. Today lets start embracing those in our lives that actually mean
something to us. Let spend more time being interested in our families and friends. OK.......that's my rant. Feeling better. :)

    Nope...couldn't care less! Personally I'm rather confused as to why they're famous anyway. What the hell do the Kardashians DO??? WHY are they famous?

    Don't care one little bit. They are not part of my family or friends. I care more for folks I don't know who are in need.

    I'm in agreeance.. Have now idea why they're even classed as being famous. But then I don't understand the lure of Jersey Shore either. Maybe i'm just getting old?

    I think it's like watching about a hurricane on the news... that everyone survives.

    You're not personally involved, you don't really care, but you watch it because it's there.

    If you truly did not care about these celebrities then you would have had no need to post this topic. You can't rant about something that truly doesn't matter to you.

    After all, you are questioning why these people are famous and then you are publishing their names on the internet.

    You missed my point. When quoting, please use the entire quote. You left out the point about caring about family and friends.

    I didn't "miss your point." It was irrelevant to mine.

    Nope. People who live their lives through the celebrities they worship need better self esteem.

    Well then, maybe you should start your OWN thread talking about YOUR point instead of hijacking someone else's.

    Rude much?

    Nope don't care at all. Totally agree with you on this one! I have better things to focus on in my life like my family, friends and my goals. Whenever anything like that comes on the TV or radio I change it. It's all mindless drivel.

    *waits for the internet police to come and tell me how I REALLY feel*

    AMEN!!! I can't believe how moronic and shallow our society has become to worship these idiots and embrace thier values. I mean really who care's what paris threw up for lunch today..they have not clue one about the value of money or what a "normal" person has to go through daily. and they make front page news... they keep shoveling crap and people gobble it up

    I'm not saying this to make a point
    appear cool
    or different
    or somehow above pop culture

    But I genuinely forget these people exist until someone mentions them, sure in 2004 - 2007 I couldn't escape them but I think moving out from my mum's/sisters has allowed me to chose which elements of pop culture I expose myself to & I feel a lot less angry as a result.

    Uh....wow.....he was making a point, and using these people as examples to do so. There's no need to be so rude and bratty about it.

    THe only purpose these trainwrecks of human existance serve is to make Saturday Night Live funnier. Doesn't say much for SNL either.

    I don't particularly care about those celebrities, but what really baffles me are the fans who seem to want nothing more than a retweet from them. I follow a couple of Housewives, and their fan base seem particularly guilty of this habit.

    Amen! Society is so crazed over celebritys and athletes and it makes me sick! What about looking up to teachers, policeman, truck drivers, guys who pick up our trash, men who fix our electricity when it's out .... Just real people who make a difference in our lives!

    i do.

    it's all i do during the day.

    i have their twitter feed on the top of my list.

    i pay for the live camera feed.

    i take screen shots of what they wear everyday and then i stay up all night making their outfits so i can wear them the next day.

    i can't afford a lot, but i send them a weekly tithing to help pad their bank accounts.

    omg. did you just see what kourt did? hahah! ~swoon~

    I think the fact that you rant about these celebrities is just your repressed desire to be just as enamored with them as the rest of us. Come on, we all know you want to be them, have their money and their life. Anybody who truly doesn't give a *kitten* doesn't talk about them at all.

    I lost my interest in Kim Kardashian after I saw how vanilla she was in her little tape she leaked with RayJ.

    Meh... if I cared, I would at the very least watch their shows... however, reality tv (with exception to my husbands shows like American Pickers, Ice Road Truckers, or Deadliest Catch) has no place on our DVR... They are just mindless drivel about the dredges of society... I prefer to watch shows (even if they are re-hashes of other shows) that took at least some creative thought into writing it... and as far as people are concerned... I gain my inspiration and motivation from the people around me... even if I only know them from here or facebook... Not from people who are only "famous" because their daddy was a lawyer for O.J. and to become relevent again they released a sex tape... :-/
