I feel like an off the wall rant.......How many people can you name who are famous for not really doing anything? Paris ‘money can’t buy style’ Hilton, who is famous for…well, being rich, looking cheap and being in her own tv show where she….ummm, is rich and cheap looking. Patsy ‘buried in a Y-shaped coffin’ Kensit, who fucks rock stars, and that’s it. Kate ‘oh my god, shock! I’m on drugs!’ Moss who is famous for being very thin, very drunk and very high. Oh yeah, and for wearing stuff and walking up and down. Pete ‘name ONE of my songs’ Doherty, who is famous for taking drugs and going out with Kate Moss. Robbie ‘I love myself I hate myself LOOK AT ME’ Williams, who doesn’t write music, can’t really sing changes his entire personality every few months in a desperate attempt to get some attention. Geri ‘as talented as roadkill’ Halliwell, who was famous in the Spice Girls for being loud and slutty-looking and now is…well, a female Robbie Williams, only more annoying. Anyone from any reality tv show.

So what the fuck is the obsession with celebrity? Why do people want to be famous just for the sake of being famous? What the hell is the point in that? And more importantly, why doing people want to read about this crap in red-top newspapers and sleb magazines like Heat (hiss, spit!)? Who gives a fuck what diet Jade from Big Brother is on (cause look in the mirror dear, it aint working!)? Who cares what restaurant Posh Spice (about as posh as a burberry tracksuit) eats (or doesn’t eat) at? Who cares what all the fabulous ’stars’ of Saturday morning kids tv are wearing? What is wrong with people who obsess over this shit? Seriously…why? JUST WHY?!
And don’t even get me started on ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here’. You’re a celebrity? Really? The cast of this show consists of a bunch of washed up tv presenters from fuck knows how long ago, a couple of people who used to be in boy ‘bands’ (if it doesn’t write music, don’t play instruments and can’t sing, it’s not a fucking band!), the obligatory breasts, someone from some crap soap and someone who went out with someone who was on a reality tv show a few years back. These people are not actually celebrities! They aren’t really anybody. And ‘get me out of here’? Gladly. Here’s a handful of cyanide pills. Eat them. Shut up.

I don’t mind people being famous for actually DOING something - musicians, actors, whatever. If someone is very good at something, they are well known for it. That’s fine. But being famous for getting your floppy tits out on a reality tv show? Really?! Holy fuck, if reality was actually LIKE that, the suicide rate would be MUCH much higher. What’s so wrong with the world that being famous for ANYTHING has become this weird ambition and obsession? Are people really so brainless and moronic that they believe that just being KNOWN, or heard of, or having a horrendous photograph of themselves in a cheap newspaper or gossip magazine is something to be immensely proud of? And gossip magazine…oh my god. AGH! If you don’t actually KNOW the people involved, it’s not gossip!

I don’t care what diet anyone on any tv show is on. I don’t care what the cast of last year’s Big Brother are wearing. I don’t care who in what boy ‘band’ is gay (cause really, it’s never exactly a surprise). I don’t care which soap actress is going out with which nightclub owner. Maybe there’s something wrong with me because I don’t want to sit in my living room watching a live feed of a bunch of other people sitting in a room on tv. Because I have MY OWN LIFE. And it’s great, thank you very much. Even if it’s never on the front page of The Sun.
