A lot like my knowledge of the Kardashians, is there any real real reason to celebrate them?
I might have some contempt for entertainers as celebrities when there are truly brilliant, worthy people working in relative obscurity in the sciences. If I were king of the world, my celebrities would be the worlds top astronomers, biologists, physicians and physicists.

However, in the real world, entertainers and sports figures rule. At least we can celebrate the talented celebrities, and leave the useless, but well-connected Kardashians and Hiltons in the trash-heap of history.
