celebrities, and what puts you off them

I have a lot of opinions about certain so called celebrities, who to my mind are stealing a living, at this time I wont name any, but lets have your input, I apologise if this has been published before, (I am a newbie)

Re: celebrities, and what puts you off them

Well I don't watch any of those so-called "reality" programmes but, when they're being talked about and names are mentioned, I've never heard of them.

However, one I can bring to mind is Katie Price (Jordan). She's a very nice looking young woman, but what exactly does she do apart from flouncing around, using filthy language and looking like a plastic doll. (And I'm definitely NOT being bitchy).

I watched a couple of the big brother episodes when it was supposedly celebrities, maybe I am too old, but i didn't know any of them, so what had they done or who were they, (scratches head in wonder)

Re: celebrities, and what puts you off them

I watched Big Brother once, and I'm A Celebrity once and, apart from one or two, I'd no clue who they were either, Aitch, so it's not just you.

If I see the word "Celebrity" attached to any programme, then I head for the off switch. Overpaid, overrated, and mostly, like Sir Brucie?, over the hill. What a bunch of nonentities they all are. Just read a good book, or better still, come on this fabulous forum.

One person I have no time for is Harry Hill, if he is a comedian, then I am an opera singer, and believe me Im not, another is that Alex Jones on the One Show, I cant understand a word she says, she seems to me to be very nasal in her speech, or is it just me who thinks that

Re: celebrities, and what puts you off them

I didn't mind Harry Hill's TV Burp, but it became tiresome after a while, and I've never heard of Alex Jones as I've never watched The One Show.

Re: celebrities, and what puts you off them

The TV companies seem to gather them all together (the has beens and the never really had talent types) select them, and fit them into panels of quiz shows or on travel shows, dancing shows, 'Special' guests on cooking programs, it's kind of like sorting eggs and fitting them in their right boxes, and the latest trend is when someone in the same business dies they pop up and read from a script how good the person was etc.. In a way it puts a few bob into their pocket, otherwise they'd all be on the dole. Watch them all popping up like jack-in-the-box at the festive season.

Re: celebrities, and what puts you off them

I have never rated this type of show, most of the time the celebrities are people we have never heard of,or failed in what ever they tried to do.

Over the years i have watched a few shows and not once have i been impressed

Re: celebrities, and what puts you off them

Some Celebrities are Ok but most are arrogant egotistical show offs.
