Actress SARAH JESSICA PARKER has lashed out at American culture's obsession with celebrity for diverting the public away from pressing political and social issues.

The actress believes people idolise screen stars because they want to share in their wealth and beauty - but the trend is destroying the imagination of a generation.

She says, "I think this insatiable appetite for the shallow tidbits of celebrity culture is just a distraction from getting involved politically and questioning our leaders.

"All we talk about now are 'celebrities'. They call themselves actors, they get paid as actors and sometimes, they're paid more than me. But often these people have done absolutely nothing."

I don't even like Sex and the City anymore. She's fugly. I do like Charlotte though.

Oh and what the ƒuck has SHE done as an "actor"? Her movies are flops.

i like "they get paid more than me!" part - you all get paid way too much already.

but she's right...I love this board and SF, but I go to th epolitics section just as often to keep up to date. I also read salon.com daily to get my politico on.

The first time she walked down the street and nobody "noticed" her she would curl up and die

She needs to shut her trap. If she hates people's obsession w/celebs, then she's in the wrong business. I hate it when celebs whine about being famous.

Sidebar: Her perfume stinks...I got it for Christmas and had to take it back.

This is the worst case of foot-in-mouth disease I've ever seen.
She's criticizing her public for watching frivolous nudie-filled
dreck like....the stuff that made her famous?

We can cure this obsession by not buying S&TC on DVD.
Then she might have to get a job....shoveling shit or something.

PS Could this be a dig at "celebrities" who are not "actors"
like she is? My money says it's a dig at Paris.

Isn't this kind of Angelina's theme? Except with Angelina, it's considered praise-worthy because she's so purty that everything she says must be good.
