Stars Who Have To Do "Good Works".

[Anonymouse]

Who cares, stars are entirely unimportant to society, aside from sniffing coke and sexual fantasies. And if you say "Oh yea Anonymouse? Why are you important?" My answer is that I provide labor power.

No celebrities = no movies or music. Worst thing ever.

As long as I got books to read, i dont need "movies", and more than 90% of modern "music" I could do without. Keep my favorite DJs and old classics I'm good.

Celebrities are celebrities because of perception.

Art is a wonderful thing regardless of the medium but mediums will always be abused.

Have you guys noticed that if a normal person (not celeb.) will say someting about charity but will not get recognition, unlike a star who will be the main topic in the newspapers and magazines.
I sometimes think that stars use their charity to help their fame.

Some stars create their own charities and use their fame to that charity's advantage. This seems fine but I hate it when they say the same exact thing like, "So many people are in need of serious shelter, food and medicine." Duh! EVERYONE thinks this. I hate that when this comes out of the celeb's mouth, it has to be in the newspaper. I hope this deosn't sound as though I'm jelous of the celebs but if they want to do good, they should do it for the good of charity and not to increase their fame. They already know that if they talk about their chairty, their fame will increase, so isn't that taking a somewhat advantage of the charity? They need to keep that under control.

It's all of an ongoing effort of the media establishment to continue to revere these dolts and raise them to the level of saintly status, to guide the masses, give them something to look up to. They work in tandem promoting themselves and their images, and flaunting the lives of these asinine buttmunches in every space of existence, about their latest move or nose pick, and people follow them. For example one lame guest appearance by Angelina Jolie on the show of that god-awful butch Ellen Degenerate, speaking about her humanitarian bs suddenly makes all of her cult worshippers want to do good works and feel imbued with the mission of humanitarianism. Everyday more people that are not celebrities do more to contribute to mankind and we rarely here of them, yet every day more and more peopel Star-f*ck themselves to death.

Look at that, a sign of divinity; a Miracle. Me and Mousy agree.

Speaking of this, there was a World Vision commercial or something in which a celebrity was "begging" for people to donate money for African kids or some such thing, and the way she was dressed, you'd say if she had donated the amount of money she spent on her make-up and her clothing, she would've saved the lives of more than 10 "poor helpless African kids" and given them something to survive on for more than a month.

This is the thing I hate the most about these would be good samirtans. They sit here and beg people barely making it paycheck to paycheck to spare some change, and perhaps throw in a few scrapes (by their standards) themselves while they're sitting on a pile of money bigger than their capacity to spend. Well.....I shouldn't really say that, as many celebrities have managed to wined up bankrupt, in spite of their obscene riches.

I used to crack up when I'd hear about the foundation Michael Jordan started up, and how he'd throw fund raiser dinners. They'd proudly mention they raised $200,000 or so for the night. Well dipsh*t, you make (between Bulls contract and endorsements) $70 MILLION A YEAR!!! You could donate one years income, help THOUSANDS of people, and STILL have more than you could possibly spend!! Just write it off on your taxes, if it will help you sleep at night loosing all that unusable money to aid people who didn't have the fortune of getting payed millions to play a sport.

Uh because they donate using fake names, I can't name one. But, I know for a fact that many celebrities donated to charities for lymphoma. My dad's Dr. told us that if it weren't for these anonymous donations, they would have nothing. Many of them used names such as John Smith or John Doe.

Ummmm.....if they're using fake names, how do you know it's celebrities doing the donating? You want someone who deserves credit? Try the guy in Chicago who has been dropping off several actual gold coins per year in Salvation Army kettles randomly every year for as far back as I can remember. To this day, they haven't caught who it is, as he wraps the coin inside of a $1 bill when he does it.

No celebrities = no movies or music. Worst thing ever.

Nahhhh, no artists = no movies or music. No celebrities = no pretentious, dysfunctional, trend setting, pop culture creating, overly self centered and self absorbed a**holes who keep creating more and more useless ways to spend money.

Bottom line is, WE need to stop giving celebrities the status they hold. WE determine that they should be treated as gods. Filthy rich people who we continously give preferential treatment to, getting free dinners, clothes, cars, etc. The people that least need it, getting it the most, and all because we have decided to worship them. Turn off your TVs, turn off your radios, come out of your self induced commas, and let the healing begin. Wake up and realize your own existence.
