 I got thinking about celebrities today.

Not actors - celebrities. There is a difference. Personally, I really like actors (being one of them, I don't think that should come as a surprise). Sure, we can be touchy, overly-sensitive, completely self-involved, all the cliches you hear about actors. Yet, I find that actors are some of the funniest, most compassionate, caring and understanding people you can meet. If you lose your job, go find an actor (he/she is probably waiting tables at the nearest Italian restaurant.). Trust me, you will find a sympathetic ear with an actor. For most of us, our job is basically going on job interviews. If by some miracle we actually book said job, we know going in that it will last anywhere from a day to a couple of months. Then, we get to do it all over again. Quite the life. So yeah, I like actors.

Celebrities, on the other hand, I increasingly have no use for. Therefore, I would like to formally tell the following people to fuck off. I don't care about you or what you have to say:

Megan Fox  Somewhere, A Pole Is Missing It's Dancer

Yeah, yeah, I know. She's supposedly hot. Personally, she doesn't do it for me. I look at her, and she has that far-away look you see on the faces of strippers at 3:00 in the morning. Somewhere, there's some Hooter's buffalo wings that aren't being served. Quick: name a movie she's been in (and you can't say Transformers. Or Transformers 2: Revenge of the Marketing Department or whatever the hell it's called.). Yeah, didn't think so. Me neither. To be fair, she has been quoted as saying she knows the robot movies are not about acting. Still, I'm sick of her already and we have two more weeks of hype to go before the piece of crap opens (As a side note, director Michael Bay can go fuck himself as well.  He has said recently that his next film will not feature any explosions. Apparently, it will be a 5-minute short, because that's all he knows how to do. Hey Mike, here's an idea: try letting a single shot last for 3 seconds before cutting away to something else for a change. People have said Ed Wood, Jr. is the worst director in film history. Those people have obviously never sat through Armeggedon. Michael Bay, please stop raping my eyes and my brain.)

Jon & Kate Forever After

I've never seen a complete episode of your show. All I know is that you, madam, seem like a horrible shrew of a wife, and you sir, seem like an incredibly self-absorbed doofus. I don't care if you stay together, split apart or live on the moon - I just want you to go away. I saw Kate quoted on MSNBC today: "How does the show go on? The show MUST go on!" Really? It must go on? Why? OH, that's right - you will need to be able to pay for eight therapists. Fuck off.

Heidi & Spencer or Speidi or Whoever the Hell You Two Idiots Are

 Seriously, Who the Fuck Are These Two People?

Fuck off. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. All I know about you two is you were on some MTV show and are now considered "Celebrities". Neither of you seem to show talent for anything: acting, singing, dancing, accounting, garbage collecting. I don't know why you're famous, nor do I care.

The Real Housewives of Wherever Desperate Doesn't Even Begin to Describe These People

The Future Mrs. Wonderhorse, who is by all definitions a smart, college-educated, creative & artistic woman, got sucked into these shows. I've sat through a couple of them, and they can all fuck right off. My mom was a housewife when I was a kid - there's nothing real about any of these broads. Real housewives don't have maids, don't demand to be called countess or talk like extras from The Sopranos.

Glenn Beck Someone Please Give This Man Drugs

I almost feel bad telling you to fuck off since you are so clearly deranged. Almost.

This Guy  The Worst

The worst of the bunch.

And I couldn't agree more. Other than you and Beck, I wouldn't recognize any of those people if they sat on my face. Yeah. They can fuck off all right.
Shel, now that you're 40, you're officially out of the 18-34 demographic. I'd liked the listing.
Now have a nice sweet carrot!!!
Yes, they can all definitely fuck off, except you, Sheldon. You have done nothing approaching the douchebaggery of the the others on your list.

Kate Gosselin's hair alone can send me into fits of babbling, incoherent rage.
Glenn Beck has the same expression you do. But you are whinnying I gather.
oh but what about brangelina and their army?
I didn't even recognize Glenn Beck, considering the fact I don't have cable television.... and I wouldn't watch FOX if you paid me. You were the only one I knew!! I would recognize Paris Hilton... and maybe Perez Hilton as well.
Cartouche - in my book, you're always first!

OE - sad, but true.

Gary - maybe that will calm me down. I'm in a mood.

Jean - yeah, what is up with that hair? I know someone who looks exactly like her, but I just can't muster up the courage to tell her.

Lea - apparently, he does stand-up. The thought alone sends shivers down my spine.

Jane - I actually don't have a problem with the whole Brangelina thing. They both actually have some talent and are somewhat deserving of their celebrity status in my opinions. These other idiots, though....

Middle - I don't watch FOX either, but it's damned near impossible to escape the creepy gaze of Senor Beck.
I'm with MAWB on this one. you were the only celebrity I recognized. For me, the rest of them already have fucked off. An' I don't miss 'em at all, at all!
The who? Sheldon, you're safe with us - the rest have apparently already passed us by. You, however, are a treasure. Freaky and cartouche are lucky to have such a bright, sensible, and resourceful son. Celebrity becomes you, Sheldon.
Ha, you got them all right except for the last one. I am pretty fond of that character, especially those beautiful teeth. So be careful!

I'd trade you the horse for Donald Trump?! He belongs on the list for sure.
Yes! Yes! Yes! You tell them sire.

I like that you included a photo of Megan Fox with her blow-up doll pout!
Thank god someone finally said something about that fucking horse! I thought I was the only one.
As a fellow actor all I have to say is thank you.
Agreed!

How did being famous for being famous ever become such a big deal?
Sheldon, this is the first time I've seen your picture in big. I'm frightened. Very frightened.
What do you call a bus full of celebrities plunging from a cliff and exploding?

A nice start... All of these and many more can fuck-off, except for the horse.
LOL I definitely agree with you on the difference between actors and celebrities and for sure, the housewives "...there's nothing real about any of these broads."
It hardly seems fair that people can become famous for doing practically nothing (or in some cases, absolutely nothing). How about Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, the Octomom (Octo-moron)? The list could go on and on.
c'mon ... .I've had hours of entertainment laughing at the drama that is Heidi & Spencer ...
I didn't recognize Glenn Beck when he's not red faced and sob-talking.
Interesting how you posted a picture of a horse's ass just before a picture of a horse's face. Glenn is out to prove the people wrong who say Rash Limpbone is the most ignorant bastard on the planet.

As for most of the other clowns, I'm pleases to say that I've never seen any of them in any thing. These people are famous for being famous. They are living (sort of) proof of Warhol's "famous for 15 minutes" -- only now we're down to five minutes.

The only one of this bunch who's "work" I've seen is Michael Bay, and someone should put out a Baywatch to prevent him making any more movies.
Ha!

(Though I'm still shuddering from the image of all these random bits of human effluvia sitting on cartouche's face ... I mean ... who would want them that close? Really?)
You expressed my sentiments about Megan Fox exactly. May she follow the career path of Lindsey Lohan, who is now reduced to doing TV movies for the ABC family channel.
I don't even have a TV and I'm sick of them. There f-ing everywhere.
LOL this is sweet. I like to refer to the "housewives" show as " Real Housewives of ShutThe FuckUp!" Hehehe
Shel, just keep on doin' what your doing. It's great. rated.
I don't even know who some of these people are so I must be doing something right.
Way too short of a list, horse boy.
And that little blond bitch, Elizabeth on the View.... oh wait ....she was on Survivor. Does that make her a .......? nevermind!
In a touchy-feely age, its GREAT to read something with an edge. We could use more bloggers who write pissed off. More, Sheldon, more. Make me laugh from the belly! Rated!
Well I disagree on the last one. Beck is one scary motha.
This was good. I agree 100% about Megan Fox.... pure window dressing.
Oh what a list! There are so many people who are famous because - because why? Octo-Mom, Paris Hilton (she's baaaack), Perez Hilton (famous for gossiping - great), Levi Johnson (Bristol Palin's ex), Bristol herself and, well, anyone connected to anyone who's been involved in any scandal...
Well said. But I really like the horse.
I'm sad to admit I watch the housewives. Most are awful women that I would never befriend - they're shallow, pampered, snotty, self absorbed, whiny, crabby etc, etc. Plus, most of them aren't really housewives. Why do I watch? I wish I knew, but when I'm cruising the TV channels on weekend downtime, I land and stick.
Yes, the difference between the two is glaring, right on! But, I do have a softie spot for horsies, so can't diss the equine variety nor Mr. Ed, once of celebrity fame. RIP. Not sure I would have included Glen Beck in this category as he is in a completely different one, all of his own making. Table for one.
hear hear!

what a pack of totally useless douchebags.
I like the post and support you (especially in the rant against that last guy--he needs braces).

However, I've nothing against a Hooter's Girl. I stand with my trashy sister against your venom!
Yes, and please add all the too-skinny blond starlets that are interchangable and all have the same faces due to botox and eyebrow plucking.
Throw in Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton.
God, and have you seen that Horse's blog? Gad, it's like Surviving the Revenge of the Simple Life in the Hills. Plus Eight Housewives.
I second all your motions here, Sheldon. And I'd like to throw in that kid with the long hair from a American Idol a couple of seasons ago. What was his name....Napoleon or something like that. He always seems to be having sex with himself or something.
in the kitchen at work there's a People Magazine. One day I flipped through it and it might as well have been the Celebrities from Outer Space edition -- I don't know who the hell these people are. Like somebody already said - I must be doing something right.

great post.
Grand! Thanks so much. Rated!
"Speidi or Whoever the Hell You Two Idiots Are" bwa-ha-ha! I thought I was the only one who had NO IDEA who these celebots are!
Thank you, Sheldon, for the best laugh I've had today! Couldn't agree with you more. I've had a bee in my bonnet about the Gosselin thing for three days now. If only I were less emotional and more eloquent, maybe my Gosselin rants would have made the cover.
You must be reading my mind - and so accurately that we must be soul-siblings. Is that why my face has been getting longer lately? Rated.
Who ARE these people? I need to get out more. Or stay in more. Or maybe I'm fine not knowing. I dig the horse, though.
Great list, and I could add a whole lot more. :)
Great fun! Must have missed before... RRR
You pounded each nail squarely on the head.
Megan-does anyone besides a meth-head really walk around with their mouth open like that? In high school we called that the "Duuhh look."
John and Kate, um, shut the hell up.
Heidi/Spencer=who?
This is one of those "Am I good witch, or a bad witch?" moments.

I don't recognize any of the pictures in your post, and none of the names ring a bell. Do I need to check my pulse to see if I'm alive, or should I just say "liberal media elite" and be happy with two out of three?
What leaves me completely gobsmacked is how showing your twat entering a red carpet event (knowing that there are photogs there) makes you a celebrity. And then, seeing the resulting fame, other desparate fame-whores follow suit.

It's working out for those open shaved-crotch displayers kids, and that is so disgusting and depressing that I need to apply tequila.....
The diffrence between actors and celebrities are that actors are into a craft that they are workin on throught out their lifes, and a celebritie is some one tryin to get other peoples aproval
You know what's weird? I spent a minute really looking at that picture of Glenn Beck. Really looking into his eyes. And I think he looks like a liberal. He doesn't have that pinched look of a conservative. He looks open and friendly and kind. I know, it's crazy. But look at it again. He really looks nice.
I concur, and great post.

I am embarrassed to report that the small town 10 miles away actually had a "Glenn Beck Day" celebration and the pinhead mayor gave the guy the key to the city! The mayor was later presented with a bill for $18,000 - the cost to provide extra security, etc., for Beck's visit and speech. Yeah, he gave a speech. Urp. That eighteen grand will be paid with taxpayer's money.

Okay, that's all I'm saying, or I'll take up ten column inches with liberal angst.
An absolute riot, and undeniably accurate! The great actors of the past must be spinning out of control in their graves. When the latest tart-du-jour appears on our radar everyone becomes fascinated. What ever happened to DOING something, or just being a decent human being?
I don't know, Sheldon. You have opinions and an imagination. Most of the actors Ive met were intellectual black holes. Vapid to the nth degree. They are good at what they do specifically because there head is empty enough to be filled with someone elses character.
New Rules: No Celebrats blocking good views of camera lenses.
New Rules: Celibates may not produce offspring.
New Rules: Celestauruses should remain extinct.
New Rules: There's nothing to celebrate about celebs.

Great, enjoyable feast of a read. Thanks! Rated!
The only one on the list where I have actually seen what they featured in is Megan Fox in the first Transformers movie...I don't know most of these people other than on an ad with Jon and Kate whose only claim to fame is getting over fertilized and spawning 8 at once...most TV shows are foul at this point - sort of like watching a train wreck and the aftermath...
I was thinking the same thing the other day when Levi Johnston asked the folks at Inside Edition - the pimps of faux celebrities - which he should pursue modeling or acting? I mean, Levi is very cute, but cuteness alone does not make an actor. (Preaching to the choir: It's *talent*, a passion that compels one to pursue it.) And THEN, Jon Gosselin says he's too famous to get a normal job! Jon, get a job crunching numbers and I assure you, people WILL forget you. (Remember "Bachelorette" Trista? Hardly anyone does.)

I used to think that because, generations ago, our great-great grandparents (and further back) had iconic figures like the Virgin Mary, God, saints ...you know, ones that deserved worship - that because generations later, we've forgotten those and are in a godless culture, that these pseudo-celebrities have taken the place of iconic figures. By no means am I religious, but it does seem like we've replaced one forgotten icon with another.

It just *kills* me that they have so much that they don't deserve when people like firefighters, teachers, police, etc. - people who really make a difference - live so humbly.
Carry on, Sheldon. You're amazing.
Holy Crap!!! Who are those folks and why do you know them? Or why am I even reading this much? Oh, I know. They are the most important people in America, more famous than Jesus and the President. Glad you told them where to go.
A stellar collection for the F off shoot.
Celebrity = bad. My heart goes out to all the supporting actors and background actors who are (for lack of a better expression) "working class actors," those faces you recognize but have never received "star" credit for their work. The casting agencies and agents are the temp employment agencies of the day for actors. It's no different for any other industry seeking quick, cheap labor. To make a decent living out of acting you need these "gate-keepers" to plug you into any project with a snowball's chance in hell to keep earning a dollar (see SAG rates). If you're not in the position to earn residuals, you only get paid the the days you work (sometimes as little as $134/8 hours a day).

So make that money when you can and save up for a rainy day. Being in the industry is no cakewalk; but it's a honest living for those who know the game.
Yay! Yay! Yay! couldn't have said it better.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! OMIGOD! FRom all the comments here I see that I am not alone in totally being disgusted by "celebrities!" No talent, no interests, vacant stares, please! I wish that the media would just ignore them and that the public will say enough already.
Bless you my man for saying what we are all thinking.
Yep, you nailed it. Nice pic, too. Looks like you been flossin' more. Cheers & rated!
Maybe it's just BBE and me, but don't you enjoy seeing celebrities naked? I mean, celebrities of the Megan Fox persuasion.

Haha! I feel your rage and joy at saying Eff Off to all your vapid includees!! Here's to them leaving our consciousness in 2010.
Speaking of Heidi and whoever, I keep seeing promos for a show all about "Guiliana and Bill"? Who the fuck are they and when will they fuck off too?
When I read the title, I somehow knew that Megan Fox would be involved...great post!

Shel, you missed one of the worst, the Kardashians. I break out in hives when I see/hear one of them. I guess I hate Jon Gosselin the most. He actually thinks that he has a future in t.v. Aside from celebrity mud wrestling, I think not. I enjoyed the celebrity bashing, continue.
Mr. Wonderhorse,

you picked the "celebrities" that I just never heard of until it was too late. Them and the Kardashians!!! ^

I'm sure the gosselings et al are equally confounded.

Fame and any decipherable quality are no longer interelated
