Which mundane celebrity personality will you forget about next?

[Symarip]

This isn't your typical celeb poll. I chose to analyze personalities who are relevant yet vulnerable. Some are aging A-Listers, B-list veterans, and budding flash in the pan superstars. Is Paris Hilton mundane? Certainly, but she is currently bulletproof. Same can sadly be said about Jennifer Aniston or Ben Stiller. And on the other end of the spectrum, Carrot Top was not, is not, and never will be anyone with an ounce of credibility. I'm striving to predict who will be the next celebrity has-been we never hear from again but will be remembered in passing when thinking about pop culture folklore.

Basically, think 'Dude, you're getting a Dell.' Feel free to add your own but please provide an explanation.


Contestant #1 - Kathy Griffin - A horribly unfunny comic who manages to remain a household name despite lacking any redeeming qualities.

Contestant #2 - Vince Offer (The ShamWow guy) - You can't take your eyes off of him, nor ignore his useless facts yet you hate him with all the power of Street Fighter 2.

Contestant #3 - Shia Lebouf - The fact he has a career to begin with is proof you people will watch anything.

Contestant #4 - Julia Roberts - Enough said.

Contestant(s) #5 - The Jonas Brothers - They're like Hanson with darker hair and less talent.

Contestant # 6 - Keanu Reeves - I'm still in shock Dogstar never topped the charts.

1. I like Shia Lebouf.

[TZ]

2. I'd like to forget Billy Mays..

But now even ESPN is using him as a spokesperson..EECH!

[redqueen]

8. Yes, him.

Bleargh that guy is awful.

Vince looks like an adult Beavis but at least he's a decent huckster. Mays just makes me want to punch things.

[MineralMan]

3. The name's right on the tip of my tongue....

Oh, well, I forget...

[Initech]

4. No "all of the above" option?

[Bake]

5. I'm trying to forget the Jonas Brothers.

But freeakin' Disney has them EVERYWHERE.

Runner up: Ryan Seacrest.

Bake

[Symarip]

11. Seacrest for the forseeable future is safe

I know. Drives me nuts too. But America is having a love affair with him.

[mitchum]

6. Y'know...what's their name

[kentauros]

9. Yeah, something like that...

or is that like something else?

[Shell Beau]

7. Exactly who do you think is talented?

Or relevant?

[Symarip]

12. I stated I think everyone on the list is relevant.

As for the other question, it doesn't really matter. If it was up to me most forms of mass entertainment would be so boring, people would be forced to do something productive with their lives'.

I saw a box set of Friends at Costco... I thought of you.

[Shell Beau]

21. Now I wouldn't buy the box set!

:P

13. Keanu Reeves, whatever his faults, is utterly lacking in pretense

And IMO he's aging gracefully.

I'm a convert, I admit. I used to enjoy lampooning him as much as anyone, but more recently I've come to terms with what he offers and how he portrays himself.


Julia Roberts will never be forgotten because the masses have bought into the "America's sweetheart" nonsense and thereby granted her immortality however dubiously deserved. The Jonas Brothers should be forgotten before I finish posting this.

Shia Lebouf should be shit-canned with all of the other no-talent Disney progeny.


Vince Offer is so horrible that we simply need to keep him in the public consciousness, and for some reason I find Kathy Griffin to be screamingly funny at least 6 times out of 10, so she can stay.

[Canuckistanian]

14. Keanu Reeves is the only actor whose movie I've walked out on.

The movie? "A Walk in the Sun".

It was a mutual decision of my wife and me.

[Symarip]

15. His days are numbered

But will he be first?

[Bryan]

16. Vince Offer

I kinda like him, but he's only at a Joe The Plumber-like level of prominence now, so he'll vanish pretty quickly.

Shia LaBeouf's a good little actor. So help me, he reminds me of a young John Cusack.

[tigereye]

17. Sarah Palin

[LSdemocrat]

18. Other: Hayden Christensen

A guy who apparently has talent, according to people who knew of him before he got the part of Anakin Skywalker, but whose career seems to be going nowhere fast with movies like "Jumper".

[jeff30997]

19. Well Couric is not a bad choice either.

:puke:

[JohnnieGordon]

20. I loved the Dell dude!

He was cute and charming, I loved his commercials. One things I liked about him is the character was a nice person, the cool in-crowd kid who had nerdy friends that were extremely socially awkward, but he was patient about it and didn't make fun of them. All of that was in those commercials, I swear it.

He was fired for being busted buying a small amount of pot, and his acting career never recovered. I think that's a shame.
