I’m actually one of the more reluctant celebrities you will ever meet.
Part of our job as quote-unquote ‘celebrities’ is that we can gather people around things that are important. I think it should be a requisite – there should be a clause in the contract that you have to give back.
I get on Facebook, and I love it. Then one day, I get a message that says, ‘Your account has been deleted.’ I click on the link to see why it was deleted, and it says, ‘Your account has been suspended because members are not allowed to impersonate celebrities.’
What celebrities hope is that people identify not so much that they’re particularly special or different, but they identify with them. We represent life in general, the guy who does whatever.
I liked movers and shakers more than celebrities. I wasn’t that interested in celebrities. I grew up without a TV.
I don’t look to celebrities for style anymore because I’ve learned the chain of command. They are being dressed by a stylist who’s getting inspiration from a 16-year-old kid running the streets of Melbourne, Australia. Once I learned that chain of command, I just started taking it to the streets.
The celebrities that really protect their skin and look great, whether they’re wearing makeup or not, are Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Alba and Jessica Chastain.
I’m a portrait photographer that’s used to shooting celebrities, and I usually need time and all kinds of lights and a studio to set up my shots.
We celebrities have stiff upper-lips.
What has to be understood is that most whistle-blowers are not natural activists – this one certainly wasn’t. We usually work in anonymous jobs, far from the spotlight. We are not campaigners, or journalists, or wannabe celebrities, craving a platform. Our conscience tells us we have to reveal what we know.
A lot of celebrities love cars, and because they have the money, they get involved in the car world.
I never really looked up to celebrities when I was young.
I have a no-kids policy on my website, meaning I won’t publish paparazzi photos of celebrity children. I’ll only post photos that celebrities themselves share on social media, or if the kids are photographed at a red carpet event.
A lot of celebrities have a sense of humor, and combined with an outrageous event, sometimes the sky’s the limit!
I’d like to take more pictures of real celebrities. It would be fabulous to photograph Brad Pitt. He’s so good-looking and just such a star.
Humshakals totally exist. In fact, I was on one of these social networking websites, and I noticed that there is this entire research done on Hollywood celebrities who look like each other.
Some girls get swept up in the lifestyle – clubbing and partying with celebrities. You can’t live your life like that, though. It’s fake.
Even on the red carpet, French celebrities keep it minimal. Think of Charlotte Gainsbourg – the look can be quite undone.
In my ministry, I’ve been fortunate to privately advise many national leaders, celebrities and people of unusual influence.
I’m as skeptical as anyone would be about celebrities and causes – and I will dare to say to you that I don’t think of myself as a celebrity per se.
Too many people have already lost their lives to HIV and AIDS, and the more celebrities who can bring attention to the issue, the better.
We’ve gotten to do so many great things throughout the years. We’ve gotten to meet presidents. We’ve been able to go to so many wonderful awards shows and meet so many great celebrities.
I don’t feel I ask anything of anybody else that I wouldn’t give up myself. I don’t think the things I ask are particularly shocking, and I don’t think I approach celebrities from the point of view of being a polished journalist.
I see my shows like Gandhi, and I’ve got little baby Gandhis, and they are changing the world. I know that I’m a bit delusional about that, but I do think of them like Gandhi. They are not celebrities: they are like Gandhi and Mother Teresa.
It used to frustrate me when I’d get celebrities on my shows and I had to meet them as this ludicrous magician character rather than as myself.
We at Hoods Up aren’t just about celebrities. I am a huge fan of a lot of artists and actors, although I don’t feel it is necessary to put it on them to help sell the brand. It would an honor if anyone were to wear it, celebrity or not.
Because of reality television and all these celebrities thinking they can be designers, everyone imagines that they can just become a designer, photographer, or model, but that’s not the way things work. People have to go to school, learn their craft, and build a brand – that’s the right, healthy way to do things.
I mean, the media and bloggers may say otherwise, but in reality I have a lot of fans because I’m the only celebrity that actually takes time out to call them and talk to them. I don’t think a lot of celebrities do that.
Social media lacks insight, common sense, and emotion. Understand that while it’s easy to condemn celebrities on social media, people should also think of repercussions their insensitive remarks can make on the celebrities’ family.
The industry has died as far as modeling has gone, and I’ll tell you why. Magazines are featuring the Halle Berrys and Sarah Jessica Parkers, all the actresses. Makeup companies are featuring all the celebrities. All the models have died.
As women, and as people, we’re often forced to choose between pop culture and tearing down celebrities or a show about politics.
Troubled celebrities are a dime a dozen.
A lot of people think that celebrities are fake, and a couple of them are.
We’ve always wanted to do things with kids with the surprise element that we do with celebrities, because their reactions are fantastic and sweet and charming and lovely.
A lot of celebrities can raise money for you if you are running for political office.
It’s a big thing now: A lot of people want to be assistants to celebrities. If you’re pursuing that, you’re an idiot. You’re a moron. The shortest distance between two points is not a celebrity, or being next to a celebrity.
I’m an equal-opportunity critic when it comes to left-wing celebrities sounding off on topics of which they know precious little.
I think for a while magazines were using celebrities and it’s really coming back to the age of the supermodel and models having a name and having a voice and it’s refreshing.
Apart from being celebrities, there’s a huge amount of respect associated with being cricketers and a certain amount of reverence and honour associated with representing India. In people’s eyes, apart from other celebrities in India, I think for sportsmen in India there’s a certain amount of regard.
When I interview celebrities, I always try to throw them off balance. My favorite is to ask ’em about crazy sex stuff like donkey punches and Monroe transfers. Works every time.
We are not a TV station that only concentrate on those who are always under light. We are not a TV station for celebrities and for grand politicians and superstars. We are a TV station for the ordinary person. The normal people, ordinary people in the Arab world sees Al Jazeera as their voice.
I kind of understand now why people freak out when they see celebrities that they love, because that’s how I feel about every single Muppet.
In dealing with athletes or celebrities or people in general, I think there’s a tendency to get on their pedestal or their platform and just kind of blow the ink.
I developed a deep sadness for celebrities, a pity that they often are caught in a plastic world that runs too hard and too fast, and that many times that world means destroyed relationships with everyone they know and love.
I have been very successful in handling people who hurl abuse simply by being patient. Ignoring them is the best policy because afterwards, it’s the fans that criticise these so-called celebrities for their bad conduct.
Forget worrying about the break-up of celebrities you don’t even know. I have long since given up trying to figure out why even my closest friends split up.
Howie Mandel is my favorite. He’s so friendly, and he’s a family man. For a lot of celebrities, to keep a genuineness about them, I think, can be tough, but he really seems to work hard to do that.
Even the best teams can fail. Celebrities can fade. There is only One in whom your faith is always safe, and that is in the Lord Jesus Christ. And you need to let your faith show!
I think celebrities suck.
In Boston, they love their sports celebrities. And it’s great.
In America, celebrities who go to see your show will come backstage and introduce themselves. Meeting Annette Bening and Ethan Hawke that way was amazing, but when Tom Hanks came, it was really special – I’ve loved him since I first saw him in ‘Big!’
Celebrities have a platform, and people listen to them. And there’s a lot of people that we are able to touch, who aren’t watching activists and aren’t watching the news, that are watching what celebrities say.
I mean, look at the people we celebrate – a lot of people who really don’t do anything. They just walk the red carpets and go to all the parties, and they’re hooked up with the right people, so they’re celebrities. But what for?
The pro athlete is a sad tale. He signs a big contract and thinks he’s set for life. I didn’t think I was set for life, and I don’t now. As athletes, we are important, celebrities, in demand and rich. Then we are out of the game and we are not important, not celebrities, not in demand and not rich.
