Who DOESN'T deserve the fame they have?

I think the real question is how many of these famous people actually deserve all the money they have gotten simply for being famous.

Seriously, there are doctors and scientists out there trying to cure cancer, yet many of these have to beg for financial support to further their research. All while famous people spend millions just to throw parties.

It's quite sickening when you think about it.

But then again, that's capitalism for you. The system of government prioritizing what some people "want", not what they actually NEED...
Yeah, that's capitalism. We form a big pile of money, and then throw it to who we feel like.

Oh wait.

Even people like Paris Hilton, who might not deserve her money, got it from somewhere. The Hilton family certainly deserves the money. Hilton created it. Without him, that wealth would not have existed. If she's just a bad descendant, history will zone her out in favor of those who use that money productively. And, if no one uses that money productively, eventually the fortune will dry up. Money is not a stagnant value. It has to be maintained, and a moron can't hold on to it forever.

I don't have a problem with Miley Cyrus or any other Disney lunatic. They're meant for CHILDREN. That's what people seem to forget. Sure, she has no talent. Neither did the actors on Power Rangers, but I effing loved that show.

Everyone's said the OP's question is faulty, so I'll throw in my alternate question: What do you think is worthy of fame?

I, unfortunately, can't actually post anything directly on topic, because no one pops to my head. Even those I dislike, I admit they have some base for fame (I tried very, very hard not to same "claim to fame").

Suprised no one has said this yet:

Jon and Kate Gosselin.

Famous for popping a bunch of fertility pills, making a mess of kids and then putting them on TV. Enhanced by their public divorce and obvious child exploitation.

I have to admit that most of the people I can think of are women.

THey fall in to 2 categories.

1. THose who are famous for sextapes (Kardashian and Hilton).

2. Those who are famous because douchebag men fall for cheap "Sex Sells" marketing(Katy Perry and the whole "I kissed another ***** in the mouth and everyone is gonna like this song" and the whole Meagan "I should be famous because of a sextape but 13 year old boys pay top dollar to see my movies so I'm past that step" Fox).

Don't get me wrong. I'd bone every chick on this list but doesnt it say something about our society that what would have shamefuly scarred a woman for life 15yrs ago can now be looked at as a catapult to fame.


Your claim about Megan Fox holds no water, sorry. She's been in quite a few movies, and none of them have been very successful, with the exception of Transformers. Say what you will about them, but that has a lot more to do with giant fighting robots than her.

I've said it many times: Megan Fox.

Seriously, why hasn't she died yet? Her IQ cannot possibly be high enough for her to sustain basic functions.
I never really got the impression that she was outrageously stupid, but her fame is completely undeserved. Am I the only one that finds her unattractive? Hm?
No you are not. She looks like a ***** to me. I don't see why most people I know like her.

I would say anyone that gets arrogant but to such a degree that it out-weighs their actual fame by a large margin... actually, some people on this site even suffer from this... You know who you are.

Lady GaGa, she isn't an "Artistic geniouos" or a "Voice of the generation" She is someone who escaped a mental hospital. She is nothing but a nutjob!

My honest opinion? *dons flame-proof armour* OK, here goes.

Jesus Christ.

The son of a carpenter in a backwater town in a backwater protectorate of the Roman Empire who founds a cult of Judaism (of which there were many throughout its history, usually pretty harmless) based around the belief that he is the son of God. He then goes on to become probably the most widely known person on the planet until round and about the time the first paparazzo took a snapshot of the first celebrity.

If anyone goes around proclaiming themselves as the son of God today, they'd be locked away in an institution. But this guy is now worshipped by about a quarter to a third of all people alive period. Why?

Fred on YouTube his videos are just stupid they appeal to dumb ass empty headed middle school girls and thats it YET HES BEEN ON THE FUCKING NEWS, Bullshit, and CNN no less I mean think about this we've got the Darfur conflict we've got the Middle East wars, and what do they talk about fucking Fred. You know on a side note based on YouTube's suggestion search engine their main demographic is a bunch of idiots these are the primary suggestions for the following letters and words.

The-
The Climb, Miley Cyrus

B-

Beyonce

Z-

Zac Efron

The fact that this crap is the most searched for stuff on YouTube almost makes me ashamed to use it as much as I do
I once tried searching for Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. The suggestion thing showed several searches for "Smells Like Team Spirit", which is not a song. I almost punched my computer.

OT: Fred. I know, already said, but I just don't understand how he's funny at all. And I've seen a few of his videos.

Anyone from reality tv, anyone famous for their family/being a slut or manwhore (pardon the language)/being an idiot. Basically anyone who doesn't actually have talent, intelligence and some damn dignity.
