Liv Tyler said WHAT about Ben Affleck?
I don't bloody care.

Why is it people want to know the personal lives of celebrities? They have their own personal lives to. All they do is play a character on a screen. Big deal.

Yes, I might like to meet some of them, but that doesn't mean I would, let alone stalk them or drool over everything they do.

You can imagine that those celeb-oriented shows where the pompous star rattles off the latest in her/his life drive me absolutely spare... I don't care what they do or think. Especially because they're pompous and arrogant. Okay, they're rich. Does that mean I'm supposed to revere them as gods?

Liv said she was baffled why Ben was People Magazine's sexiest man alive, BTW. She thinks he's a nerd.

2. Especially consdering the truly handsome and manly men she was in a recent
movie with.

Unlike a lot of people here, I like Ben Affleck - hilarous, i think, and wonderful, certainly, in all the Kevin Smith movies he's in.

But sexiest man alive? With Toby MacGuire, let alone Vigo and Sean Bean and Ian MacKellan and Orlando and Pierce Brosnan, etc.? Affleck?

But then it's People magazine, so one has to look at the source.

3. I know what you mean...
anyone who works for US Magazine, Star, Enquire, Access Hollywood, and all that other star-oriented shit needs to get a life.

I, for one, could care less what a star does, eats, sleeps, shits, etc...

7. A buddy of mine said that Liv...
single-handedly ruined LOTR. While I wouln't go THAT far, her presence was certainly an annoyance.

forwarded through anything she was in! What a waste of good film!

9. I used to work at a film studio
as constant parade of celebrities would walk through. I was always surprised that I ended up really liking some of the ones I didn't like on film (John Ritter was a real sweetie, but I never cared for any of his work. But the actress who played Laura Ingles Wilder on "little house on the Prairie"-a show I enjoyed as a kid-was less than pleasant to be around). Some were pretty much as you would imagine (Jimmy Carter, Robin Williams) others were worse (Micheal Jackson). The truth is; they really are all JUST PEOPLE, no different than anyone you know personally- and should not be deified or attacked by the public because their jobs have brought them some measure of fame and wealth.

A good friend of mine is a "celebrity" in the area of his expertise, but large publishers and film studios are now poised to turn him into a mainstream celebrity by late next year. We've been discussing it, and he's really not very comfortable with the idea. He values his privacy and already has enough people asking for his autograph when we're out at a restaurant or the movies; what will it be like if his career really takes off? If he takes the film and publishing deals, he'll be able to employ a lot of people that need jobs, and that matters to him. But must he trade his privacy for it? Must he be alternately glorified and slandered? It doesn't exactly seem fair, IMHO.
