    They're the greatest surviving celebrities, I'll give you that. But greatest anything else? Umm.. don't think so.

    If Paris Hilton(diediediedie) suddenly starts caring about starved children then she probably wasn't the centre of attention for a second or two, as fake as it comes. Not that the starved children care about all that but I find it a bit hard to cheer for that kind of love, it's all so cynical.

    The classic example of people using their celebrity to support a cause would be Audrey Hepburn's work for UNICEF.
    Crickey wasn't there a topic recently about some bloke whose shorts were always too small using his celebrity status to champion his favourite cause .

    But think of all the hours of entertainment they've provided you. Movies, TV, Music, Plays, Books, Sportings, Movies, Music, TV, Internets, Nakeds.

    What would your life be like without them ?
