   Heh heh.It's tempting to agree with you,but that's a pretty broad   
   generalization.While it's true many performers in the entertainment industry   
   seem to be more famous for their looks than brain power,"celebrity" is a   
   pretty broad term that could mean anybody in the public eye-from Stephen   
   Hawking,Kofi Anan and Jk Rowling to Paris"Braindead " Hilton and the dopes   
   on Survivor.But I do agree with you that certainly it's easier & easier for   
   people with absolutely no talent or intelligence to become famous these   
   days.Whatever happened to wanting to be  be famous for something   
   worthwhile,rather than notoriety as a goal in itself? And God help me,if I   
   see one more "reality" show(I refuse to watch them any more) I'll lose my   
   lunch.
