    Alternate Universe Celebrities

    I pretty much don't watch teevee anymore. I keep up with 3 series...True Blood, Rescue Me and Being Human. None of these are on brodcast tv and I don't have cable. Never mind how I watch them. Anywys...the idiot box with the antenna at work wll frequently spout off about some imginary people named Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt who look like a cheap topless dancer and some guy who is about to blow a 1500 dollar cash advance on his Visa on the same. I like that he is named Pratt...Kind of a Brit slang for buttocks. I imagine that generations of his forebears thought of changing the family name, but there was always a wise old person the rooom..."Nay, family...There is one who is coming to fulfill the promise of our family name. He will be the most glorious Pratt of all."

    I guess they are famous for something..I just could not care less what it may be.

      I keep hearing this persons name but I have no idea what she does.
      From wikipedia:
      "... her debut album, The Fame, reached number one in the UK,
      Canada, Austria, Germany and Ireland, and reached the top-ten in numerous
      countries worldwide; in the United States, it peaked at two on the Billboard
      200 chart and topped Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart. Its first two
      singles, "Just Dance" and "Poker Face",...became international number-one
      hits, topping the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States as well as the charts
      of other countries. The album later earned a total of six Grammy Award
      nominations and won awards for Best Electronic/Dance Album and Best
      Dance Recording. In early 2009 she embarked on her first headlining tour,
      The Fame Ball Tour. By the fourth quarter of the year, she had released her
      second studio album The Fame Monster, with the global chart-topping lead
      single "Bad Romance", as well as having embarked on her second headlining
      tour of the year, The Monster Ball Tour."

      Gaga was ranked the 73rd Artist of the 2000–10 decade by Billboard.[1] As of
      August 2010, Gaga has sold more than 15 million albums and 51 million
      singles worldwide.[2][3] In May 2010, Time magazine included Gaga in its
      annual Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world. In June 2010,
      Forbes listed Gaga fourth on its list of the 100 Most Powerful and Influential
      celebrities in the world; she is also ranked as the second most powerful
      musician in the world
      In other words...she's one of the biggest music acts in the world....
      actually, she's the biggest musician in the world, save for one (maybe Bono?)
      according to FORBES.

      But, hey, Mike... I'm outta the loop in many respects as well.

      Any TV show that debuted in the last 9 years... I've never even seen an
      episode.

        Lady Gagag is basically Madonna and Marilyn Manson n a blender on the Frappe setting. Actully, if Manson wore one of Madonna's outfits, the end result would look a heckuva lot like Gaggy...

          I'd be all set to pay her absolutely no mind... but from what I've heard of her tunes... they are not bad... and Manson/Madonna? Nowhere to be found.

              Yeah, encoded and cleaned up her entire music video catalog, including all the remixes....pass. I've had my fill to last a life time. Great gimmick maker and media controller.
