Celebrities are overrated & overpaid.........? Agree!?!


Question: Look at celebs, they are paid thousands of dollars for just showing their talent........

Look at the farmers, they work more than those celebs, for more than 8 hours a day......& they can never in their life time make more money than a celeb.

Celeb does nothing for his country & his/her desires are purely selfish but a farmer works for the public & good for so many people & he gets nothing........

Some celebs, not all are overrated, overpaid & overexposed...!

ABSOLUTELY!!!
Our cultural value system is totally out-of-whack!
We pay celebrities outrageous sums, while neglecting the true heroes, (soldiers, firefighters, policemen, teachers, farmers). These are the ones that should be valued and recognized, not Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears!

Agreed

yes,

Agree it's true for some (Paris Hilton) but not all.

If the celebrities have talent, then they should get paid for it. If the farmer had more talent, then they should get paid for that.

yep

yes they are. all they do is make a movie then get a million dolas then party get in troubel and get off the hook for free.

I agree with you. Although, most actors do work long hours. I do think they are overpaid, though. But, as long as we all consume their products in mass quantities (TV and movies), then the revenue is there to pay them.
If everyone spent their entertainment funds on charity or local merchants, then the celebrities would not be paid as much. That's not likely to happen, though.

I agree, and it is one of the things that I am always trying to get other people to see. And it totally freakin' pisses me off!

so do players in sports, baseball players, basketball/ect but society is used to paying them like that [not only the people that hire them but the public (when they buy the tickets to events)] so it is not going to change (them paid less)

I don't agree. All the things they do just to intertain us!! Look at all the shows and movies they have to do. If it wasn't for celebrities we wouldn't have TV!! Picture something like that!

I agree my grandparents both sets lived on farms and I grew up with farms so it is hard work so thank you so much for speaking out for the farmers and the celebs would get things they needed if it was not for the farmers so God Bless you and thank you again..

Well here's the thing celebrities won't be celebrities if it wasn't for us. We are the ones paying them. For example let's say everyone in this world stops watching movies. All the actors and actresses go broke. Let's say everyone in this world stops listening to music. Rappers go broke. We are the ones making them that much money. And the funny thing is half of them don't even have the talent.
Theres people out there who really try their best and don't make it in the music or movie industry. But a rapper can walk into a movie studio and get a contract. How funny is that! They didn't even dream of acting and they get a contract and not for their talent but because they already have the fame.
And yes i agree with you.

Hey i dont care, i just wish i was that lucky, i am not going to hate.

If we all had that money it would be a different story.

It's a mixed up world.

You are missing a very important piece of this puzzle. Celebrities are important parts of a machine that generates tons of money. Farmers are not. Say you are a movie star. A blockbuster movie is going to make millions of dollars. What does a farmer working 8 hours a day have to do with a movie making millions of dollars? Nothing. They are not a part of that in any way. If you are a big enough star or do a good enough acting job, however, you will contribute to the generation of profit, hence YOU deserve a portion of that money. YOUR presence and hard work (and celebrities work a LOT more than 8 hours a day in most situations) is what made that movie successful, so why wouldn't you deserve some of the profit. It is not like movie profits or sports revenue or music money would go to a farmer or doctor or fireman anyway. Why not go to the celebrity, then?

Movies make all that money because people pay to go see them. It is the same thing for sports, music, and even television (through advertising costs). So if you really feel strongly about this, but you watch television and buy music and go to the movies... YOU are part of the problem. Think about that for awhile. In addition to this, most celebrities are actively involved in charitable activities, many of them literally contributing millions of dollars to helping people in need, as well as hundreds of hours of time. Meanwhile, what have YOU done to help your country? Hmm...

In any case, you are right that some celebrities are better than others. Still, so long as the people of this world continue to spend billions of dollars and hours watching television, going to the movies, buying tabloids, visiting celebrity websites... then celebrities are going to continue to be rich. You can be mad at them, but WE THE PEOPLE created that monster.

I think that teachers who spend 8 hours a day educating our children should be paid the most . Those famous people wouldn't be where they are if some sort of teacher wasn't involved. They are with our kids more than we are during the day and let's face it some our kids aren't easy to be around, and some teachers are trying to make a difference in a childs life. It just may be a teacher that makes a difference in Brittany Spears' kid's life, because God knows the parents sure aren't.

I agree. There are so many hardworking people out there who do jobs most of us would not want, they should get paid the big bucks.
