Why Are These Celebs Famous? We Can’t Remember

There are some celebs who shouldn’t be famous at all and constantly get horrible things written about them because they have no talent or skills, so they shouldn’t be all over magazines and television (I’m looking at you, Kardashians). Then there are some celebs who have talent and used it to make themselves famous, but now they don’t really do anything with that talent, and they are STILL famous. While this isn’t as bad as the first category of celebs like Paris Hilton and Audrina Patridge, it’s still pretty annoying because these celebs used to be really good at what they did.

    I've been struggling with this one. Who wouldnt want to be famous because of just who they are though? Throughout my life I've been told that you have to be really good at something, and I realize that the thing I might do best is just be myself. I do a lot of other things but I can't lie, I wouldn't mind being famous and also rich just because. I'm not though, that's why I vlog and blog. http://www.youtube.com/helesetalks, http://www.helesetalks.wordpress.com. Thanks and I'll be following!

    Amber Rose and Vanessa Minillo deff need to get out of here. Have you seen Amber's ads for Smirnoff? Really? Who doesn't want to drink the same vodka that Kanye West's ex drinks?

    But I forgot to mention I really like Kelly Osbourne. She was famous because of her dad but her personality made a name for herself, and I like that she's very open and honest (even if that means she's crude). She's hilarious on fashion police.

    A lot of these people are famous actresses. Like Jessica Alba. Obviously that's why shes famous… Shes a good actress too. Have you even seen any of her movies?

    I feel like english was their second language and cursing was their first, half the show was BLEEP, BLEEP BLEEP! Hahah but you could tell the whole family really cared about each other, so their dysfunction kind of made them functional.

    The Osbournes are way better than the Kardashian show!

    In my opinion, Jessica Alba can't act her way out of a paper bag. She's more eye candy then anything else. If she does a serious role that isn't dependent on her looks, then I'd be interested in seeing her acting chops.

    The problem is that she seems to believe she's a serious actress. She was a sex symbol, plain and simple, but it's like she feels she has to dress all "stylish" (let's be honest, she looks like a rich hobo) to hide her sexiness. I predict if Scarlett Johanson has a couple more flops, we;ll see her do the same thing.

    Oh wow- NOT COOL. These are all good people. Too bad they are way to busy being successful and don't have time to criticize YOU. What do you mean all you see Mario Lopez do is hosting TV? That's not good enough? Man, you're a dick….and miserable.

    Jessica Alba? WTF!!! Awesome in Dark Angel, excellent in Sin City and has made many mediocre movies worth watching. Who ever did this little piece is retarded!

    Jessica Alba was in quite a few successful movies. She was in Honey, Sin City, Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four sequel, Valentines Day, and she did a movie with Hayden Christiensen and Dane Cook. She is a good actress. To say she is not famous for no reason is bull.

    I love how you keep saying things like "They used to be…"
    That's like saying The Beatles shouldn't be famous because half of them are dead.

    Wow…that was lame. Kelly Osbourne, YES, she's famous 'cause Daddy is famous, she has no discernible talent. Jessica Alba? Really? IMDB her, she may not be Meryl Streep but she's earned her fame by more than being the ineffably gorgeous person she is. This looks like a random "People I'm jealous of" list to me.

    Jessica Zeliski, I think you're just jealous. The first person on your list is Jessica Alba? She was, and is, a very successful actress. No 'Oscars', true, but 'Dark Angel' and movies comes to mind. Kelly Osbourne, Alexa whoever, & Mario Lopez, well, sure, I agree. The others?, you're just jealous I do believe. There are SO many others out there who could, & should, be on this silly list. As the old saying goes: "opinions are like butt-holes, everyone has one and they usually stink"

Tell us what you're thinking...
