Does anyone else remember the Clive James' Television Show's discovery on New York Public Access TV of Margarita Prakatan? The enthusiastically tuneless Latin songstress who made us laugh/cringe with her extraordinary renditions of popular tunes while giving it socks on her Bontempi organ?
I remember people asking why she was on TV, but I think she had more talent in her little finger than most of today's limp crop of 'celebs'.
Why do we fuel the pointless celebs vehicle by buying those dreadful magazines that pick apart their lives or watching TV programmes where they are paraded in front of us in all their banality?
We aren't naieve like 50 years ago, we should know better. We should treat all 'celebs' with indifference and and render worthless that 'asset' they think they bought when they mortgaged their privacy... a nationwide message that says "guess what guys, we have no interest in your irrelevant 'careers' and your unreal 'lives'"

Can anyone explain why Morah Ryan's picture was splashed all over the front page of the Irish Independent yesterday, together with a few lines telling us it was her 5oth birthday? Why are Independent newspapers so anxious to make a celebrity out of this non entity? Between that, and her estranged husband making an address to the nation a couple of months ago about taking the same pay cut as most of us have had to swallow, this pair are seriously getting on my nerves. I wish they'd just GO AWAY.
Pointless celebrities?
What about all of them
I mean, at the end of the day, 99.9% of them are just people who do a job, like yourself. Ok so their job may be acting in Fair City, films or even be in a band, but its still their job, so why should it make so many people become obsessed with them and what they do every waking moment?
I would have more respect for a doctor, nurse or volunteer than I would have for some tart from Hollyoaks.

The obvious solution is to stop buying/reading anything that comes out of Independent Newspapers.

Terrible I know. Anyone any news about Jade ?
I really miss her contributions to life.

Saw the picture on the Indo when buying "De Paper" but didn't cop on who she was until now. That kinda says it all really
The answer is, of course, to stop buying all tabloid papers and magazines until those printing them get the point that we don't care.
However there's a major problem. Many do care. And the numebrs are rapidly increasing. Perhaps the number of people with very empty lives is growing and who genuinely think they need to know what poor Peter Andre is up to, or what happened between him and Jordan, or what Gerry Ryan is up to etc etc. The cult of celebrity has unfortunately already taken its hold and future generations will be born into it all.
And what has become more worrying in recent years is that so-called 'quality' newspapers have gone down the route of printing celebrity stories. And their ratio per paper is increasing, so some day no newspaper will be worth buying.

If you heard yesterday about her mum Jackiey's seance session with Jade, where the tirade continued, then she may be dead but that wouldn't appear to be any barrier...
Heaven help us if we're going to get a barrage of celestial partying, hair and grooming products, mindless opining, paradise reality shows and vacuous photoshoots from beyond the grave.
Heaven could help us actually by slapping a ban on pre-afterlife-publicity. Wonder what they would do in Hell?
