Over-rated, over-exposed or just rubbish ?

[confus-ed]

Ok let's play 'character assination'

Famous folks only please, no bickering in the ranks !

Having had to skip three pages of my daily paper this morning, as it had yet another stupid slooow news day story about Princess Di, I'd like to say I'm sick to death of her !! ... & she's been dead I dunno how long !

When she was alive, I always thought she was some kind of attention junkie, but the stories just go on & on & ON ! I'm sure she'd be pleased, but lets face it if she'd looked a bit more like the rest of our 'royals' (like the back of a bus , as there's none of 'em that pretty) we wouldn't hear that much about her ..

So ... next ?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Yuck.

[TechZ]

Oprah..... she needs to get off the tv asap.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Yuck.

You'll have to explain at least 50% of that statement to me, Tom cruise I can understand, as all his film plots are the same, guy with 'x job' loses confidence, sulks a lot, meets 'fit' woman, & then recovers his confidence .. katie holmes though isn't famous enough for me to know much about other than she fits the 'fit' bit

• Interview With the Vampire (1994)
• The Firm (1993)
• A Few Good Men (1992)
• Far and Away (1992)
• Days of Thunder (1990)
• Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
• Rain Man (1988)
• Cocktail (1988)

Anywho, imho, "overexposed, overrated AND rubbish"?
Politicians, and political pundits, of ALL persuasions.

overexposed in his views (re: Scientology and his recent "fling" with Katie Holmes). As a person I think he is a scumbag..I do like his movies. I used to feel an "affinity" with him because he has dyslexia also. Not anymore. My 2cents.

[confus-ed]

Pah it's a bloody good sterotype

he's played a really good bartender , a really good fighter pilot , a really good race car driver, a really good pool player, & he even did really good secret agent three times (or he will when the last one gets released) do you not see any trend ?

& He's got more cheeze than cheddar ! so my :butt:

AGREED! Too bad he can't just "shut up" like Travolta about that Scientology crap.
BUT...-ed, the trend you mentioned in your other post, is NOT the trend you speak of now. If you want to talk about actors/actresses in that general way, well, you may as well talk about them all. Tom Cruise has not been typecast in his roles!!! Simple as that. :butt:

oh yeah, I almost forgot:
"overexposed, overrated AND rubbish"??
TERRORISTS!!
I am sick of hearing and reading about them.
It gets really ridiculous when they start haunting pc tech support sites and posting threats to Denmark in Bios/Motherboard forums....
