David Beckham.
Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Micheal Caine.
Vic & Bob.

Mostly actors, but a few sports people and other inconsiquential hangers-on, who's egos have outgrown their bodies and live on another level to the rest of us. People who copy emotions for a living, or who run for longer and can kick a ball or two. People above their stations. I hate them. There's nothing worse than someone who thinks they're a celebrity, but when asked what they've done to improve the state of the world, all they can do is smile. Britain is already a celebrit-obsessed country as it is, but when someone with an A-list status over here tries to make it in America, nothing happens.

Maybe it says something about the state of the fame system over there, as their stars do have a certain unique quality that singles them out. As soon as someone over there makes the slightest venture into a serious film career, they're suddenly elevated in the eyes of the British press, but they're still "small fries" in the states. It's a lesson that British celebs should learn before their egos take over and devour them whole. It's just a more concentrated version of the hype machine. Some people it works for, as their destined to be famous, but some people like David Beckham should stop whinging because they didn't get offered a part in The Simpsons.

I partly agree.
I despise David Beckham.
He's hardly even a good footballer, he can take free kicks, so what.
Yet for some reason, he's seen as one of Britains best celebrities?
C'mon man.
If he's our best to offer, then pfft.

It's also true. I'm not sure why monkey_man has such a bee in his bonnet over British celebrities, but it's making his fingers type rubbish.

Zeta Jones IS Hollywood, genius.

And Beckham is a nice guy, he gave all that cash to that disabled kid. So yeah.
