The thing that gets me about 'celebrity' shows is that they are totally devoid of people I would consider 'celebrities' lol. Where is Ginger Rogers, Gene kelly, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Al Jolson, Cyd Charrise, Fred Astaire? THEY were 'celebrities'.

And they're no longer around to participate in such shows even if they wanted to.

I think some of them are said to be famous for being famous - which seems to be an allusion to that.

The trouble with those Rob, is that they aren't exactly in a fit state to partake!

Precisely my point, lol! We have no 'celebrities' now!!

generally people who take part in 'I'm A Celebrity' are washed-up or unknown!!

I suspect that Toff will do very well out of this year's though .. she's ultimately made herself famous (I know she was on some show or other before this but I doubt many people had heard of her) by winning this
