If CEOs of massive companies count, then Steve Jobs.

Steve Wozniak. I've actually met him before in real life. Brilliant guy.

You've met Steve Wozniak? Seriously? 8O

I am currently very very jealous. That guy is amazing, I've read his autobiography multiple times.

Alive, Morrissey from The Smiths. Deceased, Janis Joplin :heart:

Celebrity crushes are a different story...

Hard to say. Louie Anderson and Nicole Sullivan definitely top the funny category for me. My favorite single musician would probably be Edgar Winter. I love everyone in The Office, especially Jenna Fischer and Steve Carrell. Celebrity dream date would definitely be Amanda Bynes. There's a lot of people I could name as my favorite celebrity. Just can't narrow it down.

Oh and for those of you who hate celebrities just because they are richer than you, shut up. Look I don't like the capitalist system anymore than anyone else but don't drink a bottle of hatorade against someone you've never met when you don't even know what they do. You may be surprised to find that a lot of them are nice people. Save your finger pointing for the oil moguls and the sweatshop owners.


I'm going to start using that quote IRL, especially towards my brother, who always goes around saying how much he hates everything!

My favourite celebrity that's passed on, is Audry Hepburn. She did a wonderful job in the movie, 'My Fair Lady'. :)

I've experienced my own 'My Fair Lady' story, when I've gone back to being a Mod, last September, but without losing my Cockney accent. It's a wonderful feeling. :)

She does what she goddamn pleases, and made no compromises despite being caught up in huge amounts of success. That in itself is admirable.

He came to talk at my brothers college two years ago and he was available after the speech to talk. Very friendly guy, and very easy to talk to. Though I'm sure he's probably seen it all as far as social quirks go.

He has quite a few social quirks himself if his autobiography is anything to go by. I hope I get to meet him one day.

People don't dislike celebrities for having money, they dislike celebrities when they perceive them to be bad value for money.

I hate celebrities because they make more money than honest working people out of doing absolutely f**k all.

What has Paris Hilton actually done to warrant the amount of money she has? Or [insert generic stupid airhead here]? They should all go jump off a bridge.
