Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian both got famous because of their sex tapes. Before that, they were just rich, spoiled party girls.

In Korea, a sex tape would result in a ruined career and possibly suicide. In the west, it makes you a celebrity.

Celebrity?

Anyway... he's recognizable, successful... maybe FAMOUS is a little strong, but he'd walk down the street and be recognized. I guess that's my definition of it.

Anyway the point of my contribution to this thread is that I wish Michael Rappaport would crash his car into a lake of AIDS.

I don't know when or how, but at some point it actually made sense to me that someone would be famous solely because they were on a reality show.
Blame it on viewing second/third season The Real World as a youngin'. :/

Still don't get mainstream "indie." Pick a side, oi!

I don't understand the appeal of this (Lil B):

Yesterday I saw a comment on Gucci Mane's Lemonade video that made me want to copy and paste it to every other video with stupidity I come across.

LISTEN UP: Too all people watching this video. Go and rent Idiocracy by Mike Judge because you losers are leading society in that direction. The anti-intellectual movement fostered by music like this is putting our country in the gutter. We split the atom in the 40s, and went to the moon in the 60s. Progress has slowed since, because people idolize dumbasses like this instead of reading a book. So turn your brain back on and hit the damn library.

Seo In young. Just can't figure out why anyone would like anything about her.

Chef Ramsay. He might be a good cook, but there are plenty of those. His fame seems to revolve around his "ability" to be a confrontational, loud-mouthed jerk.
