The 'celebrities' get the coverage not because they are somebodies, but because they are one step up from being anonymous. Seriously rich and famous people, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett (look him up if you haven't heard of him!), Rupert Murdoch, etc, never appear in the press, because they are too big and powerful, instead we get the non-entities.

None of the teens or 20 somethings I know (and there are a few crashing at my place each weekend) even watch TV, read newspapers or mags. They aren't the culprits It's actually women between 35 and 55 who buy magazines like Who Weekly, New Idea, Women's Weekly . . these are the mags that pay big bikkies for the paparazzi shots of drunk young things with no knickers on and elevate nobody's to the level of well .. almost somebody. Celebrity is fed by those who buy this rubbish. In fact two youth magazines here Cleo and Girlfriend have stopped putting these twits on their covers due to their irresponsible antics. Perhaps some European mags should adopt the same idea and the largely ' America' celebrities will fade into oblivion where they belong. (Wow that was serious for so early in the morning!)

We're old pals. [I shot Charlie in the arse the last time he was here, and Liz and I have been great friends ever since. Can't say the same about Charlie]. You are right about them needing pity. It must be terrible to have such shallow lives. The same goes for those who fawn over them. Jimbo - I agree. It's strange how everyone seems to want to be like them. If I heard I was going to turn into David Beckham overnight, I'd top myself here and now..... Ian – If you are chatting to Liz, say hello from me. We’re old pals.

It's not. I don't want to see a fat ass that would struggle to fit into a caravan never mind a tracksuit, walking down the road. Wanna feel good about yourself? take a walk through the AbbeyCentre (shopping centre just outside Belfast). A quick stroll through there and you'll come out feeling like a model.

They don't do celebrity here, they do fame. I don't think the owner is around today. One of her bands was making a jolly noise this morning though. I cope with being annoyed by celebrities by praying for them. People who need to have their entire lives aired in the media are seriously lacking in some way and are more to be pitied than despised. Ms Hilton is an especially sad case, as her recent prison term showed Grandad,

The word is Senior. The last two letters are different. It has a slightly different meaning. I have no problem except for a lack of understanding of the fatuous infatuations of the brain-dead younger generations. I think that's fair enough? Incidentally, do you think my name is Bud [it isn't] or are you offering to buy me a drink? If the latter, don't bother. Budweiser is horse's piss. No, Karen. The word is Senior.
