Pointless celebrities are celebs who have no particular talent for anything and have, for some reason, become famous by being 'seen' at public events or selling stories about their personal life.

Faria was only famous for screwing someone. Much like that K-Fed character. I dislike those type of people.

Paris was famous before her sex tape btw. She was a model, she definately wasnt a household name, but she known among modelling,
Im not gonna lie, that sex tape boosted her career. Without it, her fans probably wouldnt have her, and 5 series' of the Simple Life wouldnt have been made.

The media make and break people, its the way it goes.

I don't think you can blame celebs for sextapes. I mean, there are a lot of regular ppl who have them and unfortunately for the celebs, they are worth a lot of money if they are in it, and unscrupulous ppl will always sell them on.

Look at jade!
She entertained someone out there.
Therefore her point was to entertain that person.

She has entertained a lot of people.

If they are so pointless, how do you all know their names?
Every celebrity has their fans though, so they can't be that pointless.

The only one I agree with from this thread is Rebecca Loos.. for allegedly sleeping with David Beckham,now that is a pathetic claim to fame. But I have to admit that I did like her when she was on Love Island.

And to those who have said that Paris and Nicole are pointless celebrities.. Yes, they wouldn't exist in the celebrity world right now if it wasn't for their famous fathers. But they have earned their own celebrity status'. How can they be pointless when they have millions of fans around the world? They both made the SL, Paris is a model/actress/singer and Nicole is a actress/singer(releasing an album) and had loads of new projects coming up.

LOL, I don't really like him. But he's not very pointless.
He got famous for marrying one of the most famous singers in the world, but since then he's worked on projects like his music. And also he and Britney made that reality show, so he must have gained alot of fans there.

Exactly, hes famous in his own right, hes no way poinless, he gained alot of fans from his singing and marrying the most famous known singer in the world. Also when he went on wwe he got press for beating the biggest champoin in wrestling.

I don't understand. How did Paris and Nicole entertain us before the Simple Life and, has been stated earlier, they only got that gig cos of their tabloid lifestyles.

And when BB3 ended why did she maintain her celebrity status? I don't think you know what you're talking about. Perhaps you can explain.

There are loads of models and playmates of the year, but they aren't all "famous". Anna Nicole gained her notoriety for marrying the rich old guy. Fact.

But why. What are they actually famous for? IMO they seem to be famous cos they're priveleged idiots who do crazy stupid things and get in the papers for it. Neither of them actually has a talent.

She was a model because her family name and money gave her an edge in the industry.

There is no doubt the sex tape and the outrageous lifestyle has boosted her career. Hence, my earlier point regarding priveleged idiots doing crazy things. She has no talent.

I didn't know she was a model. She has the figure for it, but I don't really think she has a pretty face.

A lot of them you know because they want to be known and the media are fool enough to promote them and there dubious lifestyles.

All it takes is some fool thinks these people are important at the beginning of there celebrity careers and the machine takes over. Once they make the papers media managers take over building them up getting them more and more coverage. As the coverage increases so does the fan base and with that the money they can sell their stories for. This makes more money for the mangers and the celebrity with which to live the celebrity lifestyle which keeps them in the press and in the trashy celebrity magazines. It becomes one big money making circle until they get too old or make a big mistake.

It's not that these people have really done anything great or have any real talent expect for living the celebrity lifestyle.

I think it is interesting the more they complain about the media the more coverage these people get.

I think it's interesting that they complain about the media at all. It's ironic since without the media they are indeed nothing, since they have little in the way of talent.

How is Victoria Beckham pointless? She was a singer in one of the most successful girl bands in Britain.

Colleen is such a nice person, and does so much charity work.
Did anyone see that programme she did, very emotional.
Definately not pointless, as she does A LOT of charity work.
