 Heh heh.It's tempting to agree with you,but that's a pretty broad 
 generalization.While it's true many performers in the entertainment industry 
 seem to be more famous for their looks than brain power,"celebrity" is a 
 pretty broad term that could mean anybody in the public eye-from Stephen 
 Hawking,Kofi Anan and Jk Rowling to Paris"Braindead " Hilton and the dopes 
 on Survivor.But I do agree with you that certainly it's easier & easier for 
 people with absolutely no talent or intelligence to become famous these 
 days.Whatever happened to wanting to be  be famous for something 
 worthwhile,rather than notoriety as a goal in itself? And God help me,if I 
 see one more "reality" show(I refuse to watch them any more) I'll lose my 
 lunch.
