So the definition of a celebrity is via wikipedia is a person who is easily recognized in a society or culture. It appears by my italicization of certain words, that the key words are easily recognized. So why is it that whenever a show you're carousing that starts of with the word "celebrity" no one in that show is recognizable.
Here's my thinking; if you're a freaking celebrity, why do you have to have a brief synopsis to remind you of the nonexistent celebrity status. smfh
exhibit A: i was watching celebrity ghost stories on A&E and everyone once in a while they might have one real celebrity, but last night was hilarious. There was Eric Roberts, who is a sort of celebrity, i didn't need to read the synopsis on the screen to know who he was, and his story of ghosts; and then there was this actor who had a synopsis that was so wrong, omg.
Anyone remember the Outsiders ??
Well if you do, perhaps you saw the movie, and pony boy,C.Thomas Howell's ,
Well, A&E apparently thought that he had some serious celebrity status- this was evident because his synopsis read...made famous by the 1980 hit movie, "The Outsiders"....and made over 50 movies..
Wow. And this was the only thing that they had to get the rest of the modern world to remember him by. I'm sorry, but my first thoughts were, wow he's old..if he had his cut off shirt on I for sure would've remembered him minus his gray hair. Really?? Did that just happen? And of course Eric Roberts was the only real celebrity on the show, and the others were fillers. They put the big hitters up front to lure you in in the hopes that a real celebrity will have a good story...and then you're inevitably disappointed. So really, why is it that the celebrity shows never have celebrities on them?? I've come to think of shows that start with the mere word "celebrity.." are synonymous with time slot fillers.
Anyone else see this too?? smfh
