Leaving aside the obvious choices like the Kardashians or Paris Hilton there are some people I just don't understand being considered a "star"
1) Jon Hamm - Bland and boring. He sucks in everything I've seen him in. Granted I don't watch Mad Men, but if that's his only role?
2) Michael Fassbender - I usually think he's Jon Hamm.
3) Kristen Stewart - Not that hot, acts about as well as a house plant, has no charisma, has no presence and seems to be in a state of perpetual sulleness about everything. Add the dude vampire from Twilight to this, too. He's useless and ugly.
Anybody you think fits this category?
-
Yes (and many will hate this)...
Seth Rogan
Zack Garaafafshggafdgfhjsdfytagsuygjhaakkas
Robert Pattinson (which you already said)
-
Heather Graham- fucking terrible actress. Awful in damn near everything except Boogie Nights where she did the only thing she's good at. Fucking and sucking.

She is nice to look at.....sometimes, but yes she sucks.
How about the entire cast of Jersey Shore? Then again he said "obvious" choices.

Seth Rogan
Zack Garaafafshggafdgfhjsdfytagsuygjhaakkas
Robert Pattinson (which you already said)
Agree with the first two.
Pattinson was cheezy in Twilight(s) but I liked him in Water for Elephants. Can't blame the guy for riding the Tweenbopper money train all the way to the bank.

Conan O'Brien
Don't tell me you think this guy is funny:

Nope. I can't recall the last time I watched Leno.

Well, they aren't 'actors' in the same sense but I'd add:
Stephen Colbert
Jon Stewart
Bill Maher
(Although given a choice between watching Real Time or Mike Huckabee's show...I'd watch Bill Maher without hesitation.)
Michael Moore
(I must admit that 'Canadian Bacon' is one of the wittiest satires I've seen but his other work is absolute leftist drivel.)
and you might as well add any number of lunatic, activist celebrities; most of whom can't create a complete sentence without a script or teleprompter:
Matt Damon
Susan Sarandon
Tim Robbins
Sean Penn
Barbra Streisand
Demi Moore
Ashton Kutcher
Ben Affleck
and on and on and on...
-
Matt Damon
Don't disagree with most of the rest of your list. All highly overvalued and not nearly as clever as they presume to be. The exception might be Colbert who isn't as smugly assholish as Stewart.
Damon, though? When he leaves his politics at the door his body of work is really pretty good.
The Bourne movies are good. He was good in Oceans 11, 12 and 13. He played a quality role in The Departed.
When he doesn't leave his politics at the door the movies suck: Green Zone, etc.
-
Letterman/Leno/Conan/Fallon... interchangeable and all totally blech.
There hasn't been anyone funny on late night since Johnny Carson.
-
Ben Affleck
Affleck was the bomb in "Phantoms".

Agree with all but Damon (although I think he is a total tool). Affleck is hugely overrated as an Actor. Better as a writer. Streisand is overrated as a singer. Her voice is elevator music. Ive always thought this. Rolling Stone and other publications apparently agreed as she was voted MOST OVERRATED. Sean Penn? Fuck that commie cocksucker. What performance by him can you seriously call great? Nothing.
Conan and Fallon are ok. I like Leno personally but dont find him too funny. Letterman? Bleh.

What is with this Matt Damon/ Ben Affleck love fest? I am surprised. Their work is dreck in my non-humble opinion. I reckon when it comes to Damon that opinions are like asses; everybody has one.
And, I wasn't adding Streisand to the list due to her singing (which, by the way, is also dreck); read some of her political ramblings sometimes. It is as if a kindergartener wrote it; it might as well be written in crayon. She is an idiot.
Bruce Willis is an actor that I actually like but after reading this I wonder if there's a coherent thought in his head: "Yeah, Romney. He's just such a disappointment, an embarrassment," Willis told the magazine.
"Chin up, hair up. He's just one of those guys, one of those guys who says he's going to change everything and he'll get in there, and they'll smile at him and introduce themselves: 'We're Congress, we make sure nothing changes,'" Willis went on.
"He won't do it. He can't. Everybody wants to be Barack Obama. And what did he change?"
Willis, who openly supported George H.W. Bush against Bill Clinton in 1992 and President George W. Bush in 2000 said he doesn't know who will win in November, adding, "I don't really care."
Hollywood idiot.

I somewhat see Willis' point but am still a bit disappointed. Yes, he is usually pretty conservative for Hollywood.
Damon is a good actor in the traditional sense, when he wants to be.
With Streisand, I was just going along with the title of the thread. Why is she so famous? I have no clue because I think her body of work is vastly overrated. Her political opinions just make her even worse. At least Damon has some acting talent. I tend to give the entertainers that have some talent a little more slack on opinions. Take a Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Elton John, John Mellencamp - much more talent in their field IMHO than say, Sean Penn or Tim Robbins. I really loathe Sean Penn.
-
Streisand is an amazing singer...you don't have to like her music to know that...but I never listen to her talk.
Sean Penn...self righteous liberal douchebag...one hell of an actor.
The problem with most of these people is that they think because they are famous, their opinion should count more.
Movie stars- make movies. Entertain me. I do not give one single fuck about your opinions.
Singers- Sing. Entertain me. I do not give one single fuck about your opinions.
Why is this concept so hard?

Understood. It's a subjective topic (as if it's any different from any other topic on the X).

I admit babs can carry a tune and has a 3 octave vocal range, I just really hate her style, inflection and voice itself. I don't think it's enough to overcome her other "issues". I think there are other female vocalists who do/did it better - Ann Wilson, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion.
Anywho....you are 100% correct in your assessment though. They think their opinion is just better than yours. It isn't.
This is also why I like Billy Joel. Although I know he supports more liberal ideas and candidates, he does it in a more professional manner and knows that he is paid to sing at a concert:
Although Joel has donated money to Democratic candidates running for office, he has never publicly affiliated himself with the Democratic Party. Joel has said about musicians endorsing political candidates, "People who pay for your tickets, I don't think they want to hear who you're going to vote for and how you think they should vote."
Kudos to him.

Except for Streisand. A drunken walrus bellows better than she sings.

It's like you think it and then post it...and then I see it and say, "Hey, that's exactly what..." You get the picture.
Tom Cruise: Idiot psycho-ego-maniac. But I've gotten into a lot of his stuff, especially the early films he did.
Green Day: Couldn't be bigger bunch of outspoken, left leaning putzes...but I like a good bit of their music.
It's not so much the personalities and their views. I look at their work and if it appeals to me, that's as far as it goes. I'll watch/listen. If their work sux...I ask how this person ever became a "star".

Talk about a band who only plays three chords. :facepalm:
And I would love to pile drive Billy Joe. That is all.

...
Whitney Houston: very talented woman who ruined her life. One has to wonder where she could have gone in her life with her God-given talent had she not taken the path of bad influences.
Celine Dion: socialist idiot. She might be able to sing but I can't see past her political lunacy. On second though she can't sing either...

So does ZZ Top....and they admit to only knowing 3 chords. No, not a big Green Day fan and never purchased or downloaded any of their music. But I admit to liking several of their songs.

This is an extremely disturbing list (if accurate) with one exception.

This is the exception:
8. Katy Perry holds the same record as Michael Jackson for most number one singles from an album

Seriously. Total package. Hair, body, face, boobs, ass, hands, ears, attitude all of it. Can she sing? I do not give a shit. Total package.

Good article, and a relevant quote at the bottom:
McDonalds sells a lot of hamburgers, does not mean they are any good; just cheap, easy and uninspired.
And I agree about Katy Perry btw.
