Well we all grow up watching every move of our favourate celebrities and try our best to imitate them to at times..but dont you think celebrities are the most overrated people...i mean we tend to give to much importance to them..well theres nothing wrong in appreciating their work..i like many celebrities like julia roberts,will smith,bruce willis,and the list can go on...but why do we think that they are same in reel and real life...according to me they most of them if not all do disgusting things in life and still we praise them..i mean common give them a break...for me the real hero is common man who goes down the drain to clean up the filth...wat do you people say.

Not much but just like us normal human beings with their faults and positives but overtly hyped up by the media. If not all the media has made these celebs so much of front page news that I fear it is having negative impact on the younger generation. how do you tell a 12 year old why Lindsey Lohan of Britney are not good idols now but were the best sometime ago? It makes parenting harder I guess. I do not have children but I dread the day when I might have to tell them about their fallen idols ( hope it never happens ). Hope my children idolise their father or their grandparents but those are a bit of fantasy in this day of media intrusion and internet revolution. and yes I totally agree with you on the fact that they are overrated. By the way Sienfeld is a good name to choose!

I think that the celebrity culture we have in this world is just extremely ridicoulus and unhealthy. People are wasting so much brain space and time trying to keep track of someones life without ever get to know them. We register them in our brain like people we know, we read about them, admire them, hate them. It's just insane! People have to start to learn how to relate to real people instead of sitting in their homes reading celebrity magazines and watching tv!
