There are no personal attacks at all Cat.
People are responding to specific people's posts, that's all. Just not agreeing with them.

Uh-huh.

Ah but I never said she deserved it *because she earned it*.
Re-read what I said if you are unclear on that.
So why is what I wrote a problem?

So why else would she deserve it?
If she didn't earn it, why should she be entitled to it?
I think I'm going to let the argument rest now as well.

Because I see no reason why she shouldn't.
Edit: so this doesn't go round in circles again, I will add that I say this because I don't think a person necessarily has to earn fame by being deserving of it, or have to deserve fame by earning it, whichever way sounds more sense because i have now confused myself!

I can see where Raven is coming from and although I don't agree, I see her point and it is a fair one.
In conclusion. If I had a son/daughter and they wanted to be famous, personally I would prefer it to be for their talent and not Big Brother (and getting all her clothes off). But in the end I would be happy that my daughter/son had fulfilled their wish, as I would anyone really. Hope that makes sense.

Here's some music...from the last millenium
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miYJeS6P2Do
James - Destiny Calling
Don't believe the adverts
Don't believe the experts
Everyone will sell our souls
Get a little wiser
Get a little humble
Now we know that we don't know
Tell us when our time's up
Show us how to die well
Show us how to let it all go
Here we come
this is our destiny calling we're freaks
This is our destiny calling, Unique
This is our destiny calling now
And here's a song charged with beauty, preformed in a small club somewhere. It has no lyrics, just a title:
The Only Moment We Were Alone

I can see the connection with the first song but what does the 2nd song have to do with Jade Goody? Brilliant tune though.

I think its good to see a meaty argument on here for a change, rather then all the back slapping, popularity 'don't upset my mate' threads. These sort of discussions reveals the real people inside.
Personally I think its a subject where no one is really factually wrong, but its all about opinions.

Since this topic did veer off onto the topic of celebrity and media, I went to buy a pint of milk from the newsagents and had to queue up to pay. Front page of the sun today John Terry's mum arrested for shoplifting!
Not sure why that is front page news, but made me laugh, who hell wants to know about that? reminds me of the reason I have not bought a newspaper for about 2 or 3 years now, they are a complete load of wank

Agreed scotty, but the reason they put it on the front page is because it will probably sell a few more copies, by people who like reading about these things. Wonder if its people that watch all the soap operas?
Which I suppose is relevant to this discussion.

I think that the possible irony of this thread, especially with regard to the ‘celebrity’ aspect, is that the overwhelming majority of Flirtbox members from outside the UK who are reading this thread will probably have absolutely no idea who Jade Goody is.

Whilst everyone is entitled to read what they like I do think if anybody buys tabloid newspapers and gossip mags such as Heat, Hello! OK and all that stuff, they cant really whinge about celebrities lacking talent because all of those publications actively promote every kind of celebrity and encourage it by printing the photos and stories about them.
I don't really like the idea of celebrity anyway, and never really understood why people go autograph hunting or try to hang out in celebrity night spots, they are just other people. The only autograph I ever got is a signed copy of Cynthia Payne's autobiography, but we wont go into that!
