Yet another vote for Paris Hilton.
How about Jennifer Love Hewitt?
And Joan Rivers-which goes double for her annoying twit of a daughter, Melissa.
(Forgot to add):
And, let’s also not forget, our boy Conan graduated magna cum laude from Harvard in 1985 with a B.A. in American History.
Conan’s cool… He has made me laugh…
I would agree with Paris Hilton, but lets have a look at some other ones…
I watch Tough Crowd sometimes, but only because of the other guys on there.
Also, does anyone have a good nomination for actors/actresses?
I’ll go ahead and suggest Vin Diesel. I haven’t seen any of his movies, but it seems to me like he just got thrust upon us as the next big Hollywood superstar. I never saw him coming. I don’t know if he’s so undeserving, but is he really deserving of the level of celebrity that he has? I mean even Arnie and the other guys had to work their way up through their Commandos, etc. I mean I just woke up one day and this guy named Vin Diesel is some new name that is supposed to get my attention, being bandied around like something that has always been.
okay enough of that.
I’ll go for the music. Dave Matthews Band. I hate that crap because its all the same. They’ve sounded the same for as long as I’ve known them. Also overrated… any kind of Rock and Roll that sounds like Nickelback, including Nickelback.
Also underserving in my opinion is any new celebrity that gets made a star too quickly. Is it just me or are they just thrusting them on us now? I see all of these new pretty people and its hard for me to get up to date.
Kevin Costner.
As Spectre of Pithecanthropus pointed out Charo is an extremely talented guitarist. In fact she studied with Segovia who is quite possibly the best classical guitarist ever.
Slee
Bob Saget.
Ok, ok, I will retract my Charo heresy! I am re-issuing my opinion as follows: Charo is a *mono-*talented bimbo.
And I must acknowledge the genius of the Paris Hilton nomination, Mr. Nlue Sky. I’m tempted to declere a winner, until I am reminded of America’s rich history of hacks riding the coattails of their more talented friends or family. Isn’t that where Sandra Berhard comes from, isn’t she buds with Madonna or somebody? And Arsenio Hall?
Don’t get me started on Madonna.
Anyway Sandra Bernhard started me thinking about Sondra Locke. You can throw the three of them together as getting into the industry as somebody’s main squeeze, IIRC
I hesitate to name singers or musicians, as they usually have some modicum of talent, if only keeping a rhythm. I don’t know enough about contemporary music to pick out the biggest twit among the new generation of “artists”.
There was a time in her life Joan Rivers was funny rather than frightening. However, Melissa certainly is in the running.
I’m trying to think of some 50s-60s beefcake actor. Tall, red-complected, thick brow ridge, seem to be in a lot of Roman movies. I can’t some up with his name. I thought maybe Raymond Massey, but I googled a picture and it wasn’t him. Kind of like Johnny Weismuller with an American accent, and not so actually athletic. Damn, I can’t quite lay my hand on the name.
William Hung wasn’t bad, he didn’t take himself seriously and people thought he was funny. Conan is an ok celebrity too.
I think Anna Nicole is near the top of the list. The kids of presidents, celebrities and royalty belong on the list too.
How soon we all forget. How about Kato Kaelin?
Victor Mature?
Carrottop.
Oh, Kato’s worthless, but he didn’t come looking for fame as if he deserved it, like that…<unmentionable>…Paris Hilton. Of course, he gets major demerits for wallowing in the slop once he landed in it.
Victor Mature? (But he’s not red-complected.) Stephen Boyd? Help me out a little, I might be able to give you the guy’s name.
(I’m quite the movie buff.)
I tend to think of the children of presidents as victims of rather than performers on the media. Except for the ones who pursue a career in the public eye.
Ooh, I hadn’t thought of Royal Family members. There’s a whole new can of worms. And I thought it would be trouble topping Paris Hilton! Look how soon! All the little princlings and and pretenders to thrones across the world… On the whol it’s hard to imagine a more undeserving group, but on the plus side it’s hard to single out one as any more worthkess than any other.
Sounds more like Steve Reeves. Victor Mature was of a (slightly) earlier time.
Hey, that was me, not BrotherCadfael!
And Steve Reeves sounds like a good candidate. I don’t know if he’s red-complected, though.
(And Mature, while more active in the 50s, did do work in the 60s so, y’know, it could be him. He’s certainly got that eyebrow ridge thing going on.)
He’s three posts ahead of you.
The problem with it being Victor Mature is that he only made 2 films in Italy, whereas Reeves made all but 2 of his films in Italy.
YES, Victor Mature. Here’s an action shot of him , and maybe why I thought of him as red-faced. 
Here’s another.
Moving this from IMHO to Cafe Society.
My entry is a no-talent third rate magician called John Edward.
Halle Berry.
Firstly, she was a lousy casting choice as Storm in the X-Men movies, then she screws up “Die Another Day” and then now she’s Catwoman.
Oh yeah, they gave her an Oscar for Best Actress, too.
:dubious:
