If I have to google them, they're not celebrities.
That's my rule.
Household name - regardless of reason for being such - automatically confers "celebrity" status (including heinous murderers) - e.g. the celebrated Dr Crippen. There was nothing to celebrate about his misdeeds. But you know his name. His surname is enough to invoke the knowledge of who he is.
* Who was first to Everest - Hillary
Self effacing fellow, rarely looked for the limelight other than to support his Nepalese hospitals and schools
* Who was first man on the moon - Armstrong
Same, mostly just got on with his life after being famous
*Who is that fat gobby Essex bird that wouldn't go on celebrity jungle whats-it and threw a strop?
No fucking idea. I remember the strop she threw, and the fishwifey voice, but the name - no idea. Not a celebrity to me.
I had to google "Big Zuu" last month. WTF ...never heard of him.
Have now.
Celebrity doesn't mean someone worthy (increasingly obvious as the decades pass!) ... it just means someone SO FAMOUS that everybody knows who they are (and why).
Possibly thats a bit too simplistic, but it works for me. Usually ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

I think it should be legal to hunt and shoot anyone referring to themselves as a 'celebrity' unless they have a discernable talent. Imagine the fun! ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

A useful place for me to rant about Saturday's episode of Pointless.
I like the format of the show, even if the BBC's idea of a 'Jackpot' is ludicrous. Celebrities' compete in pairs to win £1,250 each for their charity. (Meanwhile appearance fee is £ )
Anyhow, this episode so blatantly attempted to be woke it wasn't even funny. The 'Celebrities' were music/socialite/influencer/Love Island . Most of them were from a BAME background.
It was actually painful how stupid they were. There was even a music round which they all did sh1te at. The two girls complained that the questions were too hard. (In the 'spots' round, they had questions such as "what creature comes in varieties with 2 and 7 spots", "which planet has a great red spot", etc." . Response .. "ermm can't answer any of these". etc.
All in all, not a great advert |
