Fame: as fleeting as Jude Law's hairline
One only has to look at what cracks a headline these days to realise that there is nothing more marketable than failure. People just aren't interested in the good fortune of others especially where Celebville is concerned. The public waits with baited breath to watch the latest Hollywood hot shot "fuck out" and take the obligatory fall from grace. I for one was ecstatic at the public demise of pop radio's resident teen queen cum slut-in-sweetheart's clothing Ms Britney Spears, in fact quite frankly I was gunning for a suicide. When it comes to news of the stars stretchmarks, suicide, divorce, drug addiction, debauchery and mental meltdowns are the order of the day because if it was peace, love and understanding we were after we'd watch 7th Heaven reruns for that.
Looks like someone's got a case of the Mondays
These days talent is no longer even required to earn that oh so coveted title of tabloid poster child. Hollywood has been infiltrated by attention seeking amateurs famous for nothing more than being rich, snot nosed, albeit entertaining, little upstarts and Paris "have tits, will party" Hilton is the pristine example of an undeserving A-list brat. Besides playing daddy's girl to a stupidly rich hotel tycoon the extent of her talents range from being blonde to being hot and dumb - throw her brief stint in the world of homemade porn into the mix and you have all the ingredients for the makings of a superstar.
But if it's the undeserving you're after you needn't even look so far as the beautiful people of the E! channel. Thanks to the magic of public forums like MySpace, YouTube and the catrillions of blogging networks that seem to make up 99% of the internet these days a voice has been given to the voiceless and spawned an online sub-culture of sub-talent. Useless turds content with the fame-barrassment they achieve from their desperate acts of self promotion and shameless crimes against the internet. Whoever said 1% talent 99% hard work was the key to success must have forgotten to add the part about not being mildy retarded:
No matter who you are or how undeserving of it you may be one thing's for sure, fame is a fickle bitch from hell. So if you've got it you better put it to good use pulling as much pussy and / or cock as you can while it lasts because in the end that's pretty much all it's good for anyway.
