Annie Says!

Who in their right mind would have their teeth filled by the son of a renowned dentist based on the fact that his father was a talented dentist? Who would use a lawyer, a cosmetic surgeon, a veterinarian or an optician just based on the fact they were the spawn of a talented parent? No one!

So why is Hollywood and show business so obsessed with inflicting talentless, unattractive, brainless, unqualified brats on us and insulting our intelligence by passing them off as “talented?”

The world is becoming increasingly swamped by a tidal wave of talentless so-called “celebrities” who are famous simply for being famous or a child of the famous.

Case in point. This week we hear that the ‘model’ daughter of aging rocker Rod Stewart, Kimberley Stewart, is set to hit the boards of Broadway following in the ‘talented footsteps’ of Kelly Osbourne. What talent has Kelly Osbourne ever exhibited and what the hell makes Kimberly Stewart a freaking model? She’s not attractive, her body is hardly in the same league as Elle MacPherson and I certainly don’t think she lists Julliard or RADA on her resume.

A source tells the Daily Telegraph, “After seeing Penny Lancaster (Stewart’s stepmother) and Kelly do their stuff, Kimberly’s really keen to do something similar, preferably involving singing and dancing. She’s told Kelly that a role in a West End musical would be her dream job.”

It would also be the dream job of thousands of young, talented, attractive students of the profession, but of course, they don’t have famous parents to kick start their careers.

Kim Kardashian! Not an ounce of skill in any area and with the face of an aging race horse to boot, but as the daughter of one of OJ Simpson’s attorneys and the star of a filthy porn video, she has now made it to the cover of Hugh Hefner’s Playboy magazine for December this year and is constantly on the lips of every awe-struck, star- worshipping member of the public.

Then we have the extremely untalented Paris Hilton: “entrepreneur,” “model,” “actress,” etc, etc. Where are the credentials that state she has attained these dizzy heights in the world of stage and business?

Add to the list Paris’s sister, Nicky Hilton, another wanna-be hanger-on who apparently recently filed for bankruptcy as her business venture into the world of hotels failed miserably. Now there’s a surprise!

Even celebrities themselves are fast becoming sickened by the attention these talentless “celebs.”

Oscar winner Rachel Weisz has slammed talentless celebrities who pursue fame - branding them “vulgar.”

The British actress insists she has earned her place in the limelight because of her profession and feels contempt for those who are only famous for stripping for photographers or attending glitzy parties. Weisz, who famously rejected an offer to pose naked for Playboy in 2005, vows to continue to snub the celebrity circuit

She says, “I am an actress. I think celebrity is a vulgar thing. It’s so easy to be famous, turn up in a certain dress, present a show, take your top off.

“If you go to those parties and wear those dresses you become a celebrity, which has nothing to do with acting. I don’t go to those parties. I can’t stand them.”
When asked what we associate Richard Branson, Donald Trump, Madonna or Oprah Winfrey with, it’s success. Success achieved through their skill, hard work, determination and talent.

I know all this to be true because I have become a talentless air-headed writer based on who I know, not what I know!
