Celebrity?

I am more and more baffled as to what or who is or should be called a celebrity.

Having watched an advert for some new show than includes such people I am amazed to find that Ann Widdecombe is described as one. Why? What makes her stand out as one? She has not only proved with various TV appearances that she can't dance but also that she has no personality, no aptitude to do anything creative and was not even any good as a politician. All I can think is that she is so bad that they have her back as people laugh at her bumbling inefficiency to do anything with a degree of competence.

Of course in this world where all you have to do is to exist in a house with a bunch of other people for an extended holiday and pretend that it's hard, what can we expect. The only Big Brother winner that was any good was the first one, Craig, and that is only because he was skilled at something and is still showing it.

In my opinion, it's about time that to be classed as a celebrity you should be able to entertain. Not bore, not talk shit, not use "innit" in every sentence but show some type of skill.

I feel sorry for people that feel compelled to watch the non celebs week upon week, maybe in the hope that one day they will do something entertaining, let me break it to you gently, it's not going to happen.
