Most Useless Celebrities

    We are constantly bombarded with expendable untalented personalities that seem to permeate the airways. Every facet of the media is polluted with useless celebrities who do absolutely nothing or "jack squat!" as Matt Foley the motivational speaker would say.

    For that reason I often wonder who is the most useless celebrity and why are we drawn to idolising people who are less talented than us?

    Paris Hilton. She does nothing except party and spend her millions of money on drugs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Rasheed


    Has to be Kim Kardashian. Nobody claims to like her but yet shes a multimillionaire!

    Useless useless woman that looks like a Romani gypsy in expensive clothes.

    Not by anyone I know! I don't know about other people but I admire celebrities that have a talent. And she doesn't.

    I came into the thread to say Paris Hilson.. The only reading she's famous is for sucking balls on camera.

    A better thread would be 'Useful Celebrities'. It would be much more concise, because there are probably so few.

    With the 'useless' category, you could probably name seventeen thousand.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    They're all useless, frankly.

    Huh? Am I the only person not inundated with worthless drivel about people who are questionably considered celebreties, or even people who are rightly considered celebreties for that matter?

    I do 2 very simple things:
    1) I skip pass the Gossip section in newspapers.
    2) I don't look at the Entertainment features on News websites.

    As a result I don't know who anyone is, what they are doing, or even who they are doing.

    Kerry Katona/Jordan. Big tits, gobby mouths. Nowt else.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭Father Damo


    Jedward.

    Being where I am I have the fortune of never having heard them speak, or sing.

    Even just seeing stills photo is enough to deduce them as freaks of the highest order. They must live on strange, bizarre personal life. Unless you are a professional athlete who needs to maintain physical and mental discipline, any man of their age not squandering their fortune on an endless supply booze, drugs and women should be sectioned.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,205 ✭✭✭Bad Panda


    Georgia Salpa.

    The only thing I know about her is her nationality. I keep hearing her name, but I've no idea what the f*ck she actually does?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,431 ✭✭✭Sky King


    She's a 'glamour model' isn't she?

    He told everyone in 2006 to leverage themselves up to their nips to buy Irish property. He failed to tell the dopes that leveraging to make a huge profit on a small initial investment could potentially also mean leveraging to make a huge loss on a small initial investment. (This is on youtube if you need proof).

    Havent seen much of him since.

    If you don't know what she does then how do you know she is useless?

    Saying that, she is pretty useless, though she could be used as an inspiration to a fap.

    Jedward, they're beyond useless in fact.

    The famous people that are talented and useful are the ones who dont hog the spotlight.
    They let their talent speak for itself.

    I would add with a particular mention to "stars" of the following shows;

    Tallaghfornia
    Geordie Shore
    Jersey Shore
    Kardashians Show

    Ah f*ck it you are right... take your pick from any reality tv "star"

    They are all flutes.

    Millions of dollars to blow on partying, drugs, sexual escapades....

    She's living the dream dude, why knock it?

    Kerry Katona/McFadden

    Used to rent in Artane, Dublin and herself would be around while Brian McFadden was visiting his parents.
    He was sound, very down to earth and popular around the area

    She was a wagon

    He was well shot of her, fair play to Brian for hooking up with Delta Goodrem


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 738 ✭✭✭crazy cabbage

    I wouldn't consider anyone that serves a purpose to be a celebrity. I would consider then to be artist/ entatainers/ business people/ anything but a celebrrity.

    Currently listening to Tracy Chapman. To me calling her a celebrity downgrades her and her work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    For a long while I wasn't sure if Tracy Chapman was a man or a lady :o

    It should seem obvious with a name like Tracy but I wasn't sure

    Because if she wasn't useless I'm sure I'd know what she was known for...music or whatever.

    She just seems to be mentioned a lot but for nothing at all.

    Matt Damon too, is big into education. and they both have a sense of humour about themselves.

    Eh, I just don't get how people can complain they are getting somewhat facefúcked by celebrity nonsense when it's quite easy to avoid. It's like that scene in Austin Powers when yer man gets run over by the steam roller, all he had to do was step aside.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    Irish "models" like Gilson, Davison etc.
    What will they do when they're too old to pose for tabloid photos wearing a bikini on the streets of Dublin to promote a new brand of biscuit, health insurance, toilet brush etc?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,969 ✭✭✭buck65


    I also tend to avoid the **** rag tabloids and the Xpose nonsense on the telly box, surprisingly I recognise alot of different names but couldn't identify them or their music/whatever.
    I live in ignorant bliss.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭christmas2012


    any of those irish socialites rosanna davison and those dublin housewives,and i would lump amanda brunker in there too,not to mention shes a hasbeen,lets hope nobody buys her trashy books,she probably doesnt even write them herself..

    all these wannabes just want an easy break bb style,where they get to stick their face or name to something without doing any of the work,dont watch them dont give them credence,dont buy into whatever they are advertising,dont follow them on twitter or whatever..
