What is the appeal of "celebrities"?

I don't mean genuine celebrities who contribute some form of art, culture, good deeds etc to society. I mean the vacuous television/magazine celebrities who seem to do nothing but simply exist. I mean the Paris Hiltons; the "Big Brother" evictees; the footballers wives. What do these people actually *do* to deserve the title of celebrity? Why are the public so obsessed with them?

I don't quite agree with your comment that choice of clothing can make one either a "queen" or a "chav". Personally, I sometimes wear a heavy silver chain and a matching bracelet, and I also have my left ear pierced, but this makes me neither a "queen" nor a "chav". I also wear baseball caps, hoodies and rugby shirts, but this doesn't make me a thug. I may talk with an Essex accent, but that doesn't mean I'm dodgy.

I have six piercings in my left ear, one in the cartilage at the top of my right ear, and one in my tongue. I also have a skin head.

I wear clothes from Matalan and George these days as they are cheap.

WTF am I? ;-)

I have two in me left ear, a beard you could lose a hamster in (provided it was black!) and a hair nearly down to me 4r5e (see pic) - I agree, Matalan's prices are great ! unfortunately I hate going there with a vengeance (must be the way me wife shops there !)
