CELEBRITY BRATS

Today I was reading the news and saw an article, supposedly, featuring Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora. Darling, talented people. The article was not about them, sadly.  It was about their daughter.  I began to seethe so I don't remember her name.  Not important.  Apparently, she is a model.  Go figure.  Hypothetically, take this same girl, subtract the famous parents, add her as a "nobody" and the result will not be that she is a model.  Or even news worthy. 

Why do brats of celebrities automatically get a "get in free" card to be famous?  Do they have the same talents as their parents?  Obviously not.  Do they have good looks?  Not always.  The point is...it doesn't matter!  The children of famous, rich, celebrities are growing like mold in the industry!  

There are a few cases, in which, these "children" don't even have to work to have the paparazzi taking pictures of them picking their noses.  I am sure the same "few" come to your mind as well....like Paris Hilton that can sit with a little doggy and have photo shoots because mummy and daddy are filthy rich.  Give me a break.  We don't give two hoots about your life!  You brats are infiltrating my beloved t.v. 

Another that may come to mind is a crew of no-talent-never-worked-never-broke-a-nail brats that are a package deal, because, apparently, nobody can just read about one. The Kartrashians, ooooops, I stand corrected, The Kardashians.  Remind me what any of you did to EARN being famous and rich! We don't care who you are dating, married, had babies with, where you took them to be baptized, or what you think of your daddy, errrrr.....mummy?   

There are a slim number of somewhat talented actors and actresses that, yes, did ride on the fame coat-tail of their parents.  Sometimes I can even bear to watch them.  How I get through it is quite interesting.  While watching the "mini-me" of whatever actor/actress they came from, I go back in my mind and think of  how hard it was for mummy or daddy to break into the business.  The slamming of doors, the calls of rejection they probably suffered, before "being discovered" by a sharp movie executive.  It takes me back to a simpler time, I suppose, is what it boils down to.  

Regardless who they are, how they got there, my message to all celebrity brats that have never had to wipe their own hiney, "Shame on you"!   My respect and admiration will always go to those that fought the fight, that were discovered because of their very own talent,  hard work, and determination.
