Weredja live hey? Flaunting wealth passe'? Errr I don't think so! Everywjhere I look I see some sad, squalid new ruse to make money out of Chavs'need for some hardcore flaunting every week! Fake is the name of the game and only the brass face of the seller outshines the bling on the customers' wrists, fingers and earlobes. That and their eagerness for a bit of glamour. Sorry, love, vulgar rules these days, and I wish it weren't so... BTW, is writing a whole piece about 'celebs' supposed to represent your distaste for them? It rather strikes me as the opposite... If names were bombs, 'ere you dropped more than the Lutwaffe dropped on London during the Blitz, lovie! Seems to me you are positively 'spellbound' by them! What a load of cobblers!

She has her hand firmly in the honeypot and you would have to break it off at the wrist to prise it out. Her hideous prima donna behavior must be to do with her knowledge that she is somewhat devoid of artistic talent. But she does have one great talent - she is very mediagenic and quick to take up on the latest trends. TV, radio and print all love her for a rentaquotabiity. But I agree with Tony - she is not a very good artist and her continued prominence is due to the bankrupt arts media which values success and fame rather than truth or talent I agree with Tony Francis that Tracey is a bear with very little brain.

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and these braindead "gangstas" are a classic example of everything that's wrong in this world. Airhead blonde heiresses (i.e. Paris Hilton and all the wannabes) are by far no better and neither are the crooked rich politicians and the CEOs who urge the blue collar workers to conserve energy while they jet across the world spending our hard-earned money. "Green" will never be wide-spread enough to make a serious difference on this planet until those people who are a huge waste of oxygen and natural resources are put in check. Sadly, it's just not going to happen....

What does this have to do with off grid?... more like off topic. People are only leaders if people follow them... I am responsible for me, you are responsible for you, they are responsible for themselves. This kind of article just encourages people like that. Yawn, so what?

Are Emin and I any different? She's famous, I'm not - she's been honest enough to tell the world what she's doing - I'm slightly embarassed, so keep quiet. As far as Simon Cowell is concerned - the man is very very wealthy and he's doing his bit to redistribute his wealth.
