I am discriminating here between talented, professional entertainers and Celebrities. :cool:
What I think celebrities have done for us:
Made magazines/newspapers boring.
V often, made digital Spy boring.
Provided $*%£ role models for our children.
Any other ideas?

The idea was: how we value 'celebrity' whatever that means
Entertainment value in say music or movies is far outweighed by the obscene salaries for a few months work.
Turned a lot of gullible people into Cult Worshippers who spend 18hours of their days living sleeping eating dreaming fantasising and blogging on forums obsequiously whilst chasing photos across internet.
What have they done for people..turned them into blind sided morons of "fan clubs".
People harp on about the negative and seem to tar all famous people with the same brush, yet there are some talented celebs out there!
I've enjoyed a lot of films, listened to (and enjoyed) a lot of music, seen some great stage shows and met some great people along the way.
Even some of the zlebs can provide entertainment, even if it's just of the unintentionally funny or embarrassingly awful variety!
Just watched a clip of hers, she's pretty funny.
Good trick with the t shirt.;)
Which is nice.
I do not buy into the "charideee" routine, usually it is only done for altruistic motives.
The higher level celebs do lend themselves to charitable causes and usually I would say they do much more good than a zelebrity.
Usually the z lister will do anything to appear in the media and if that is notorius or bad press they usually do not care. But this can rub off on the charity they are supposedly helping so you suddenly realise that the charity work is only done to make themselves look credible or to raise their own profile
they do a lot for charity michael jackson is giving 20% of his estate to charity, he sent his people out to find a kindey for a child in a hospital in hungry in the 90s, he helped with costs for a burns victim dave dave whos own father poured gasoline on his six year old son and set him alight, he also went to hundreds of orphanges and hospitals and gave to over 50 charities regularly, he also changed the world of music by breaking racial barriers with organistions like mtv, he impacted a lot of peoples lives and how many celebs do that these days.
celebs do a lot for people they do a lot for charity, i wouldnt class anyone from x factor, BGT, big brother etc as celebs they are a waste of this industries resources.
Real stars with real talent are something else. They provide entertainment, be it via film or music. It's light relief and I think light relief is important, it can take you away from the stresses and strains of daily life.
A few years ago it may have been vaguely amusing to read about them, but now I just find hearing about the latest antics of Jordan, Katona, etc. utterly sickening. They've sunk even further into the gutter.
Oh yeah, I get where you're coming from, and I was meaning proper celebs, people like Jennifer Aniston who doesn't really need to promote herself or get in the media often donates to charity and often does it without letting on to the media that she's done it. Will Smith as well. But I do know what you mean that if a zeleb wanted to get more media time then doing charity work is one way to achieve that for selfish reasons and not because they actually care about the charity's cause.
looking at the number of page views a katie price thread gets here just shows certain people want to keep up to date with the slightest piece of gossip and I do respect their choices.
Jordan/Kerry and the usual misfits have made my day doing their "X rushed to hospital" with their latest boil on their backside or whatever.
I don't bother buying magazines with their mugs in though, I just read it on here.
If you need a laugh you can depend on them to have done something idiotic and will do something that will surpass it within the next 24 hours guaranteed.
She is presently in both the UK funny women finals and Scottish Comedian of the year.
