Who's 15 minutes of fame do you hope are up?
For me, obviously Paris Hilton. I'll also throw in Tyra Banks.

Any others? Come, gotta be tons of suggestions!:puke:

5. I think if Brangelina goes, I could live with the two separately...
...however, any version of Tomkat has gotta go!

45. I just do not get the fascination with any of them!
I mean, yeah, they're celebrities, and lots of folks like celeb gossip (I'm not one of them), and that's fine. But when every freakin' magazine cover, every other "news" story, etc. is about them, it's overkill! Maybe they should just do a Bradolina/TomKat/Paris channel and be done with it!

60. Brad and Angelina didn't get much publicity by themselves...well,
they did, but not the overkill like now that they're together. If they had never met, then their face time would be tolerable. I don't dislike either of them enough to deny them that. But Tom Cruise is just too much of a whacko for me to tolerate one second of face time!

I love the concept of the show, but hate, hate, hate everyone on it. Especially Star Jones. But ESPECIALLY Elizabeth Haskell. :) Who knew that Debbie Matanopolis wouldn't be the stupidest one in the "young" position?

51. Tyra's been around for 15 YEARS plus
I think she has a little more than 15 minutes staying power. She's one of the ultra powerful (in her own right, unlike Paris) so don't expect her to make an exit any time soon.

Paris can go, and I'd like to see both Jessica & Ashlee Simpson "retire to greener pastures" soon.
