People work hard for these, but turns out all you had to do is go on Blind Date with Cilla Black and marry a celebrity........who knew? :mysmilie_3:
She's received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. She graduated from this 'leading drama school' in 1992 & apparently hasn't looked back since.
I feel exactly the same with companies who use these celebs to be the face of xyz when we know that there is no way on earth they use the products. Do you think M Carey lets a crisp pass her lips? At least that is mildly amusing for the first few viewings.
Didn’t Helen Mirren say that all face cream was rubbish whilst coining it from O’real?
Im sure there are personalities who do eat crisps or do use face cream - why not use them and at least we wouldn’t think we are being taken for fools.
And don’t get me started on the Botoxed to the eyeballs/hair extensions/teeth jobs people insisting that it’s all done by gloop in a jar.
That’s my rant over:mysmilie_51:

Any kind of celeb endorsement would actually make me less likely to buy. It might sound a bit snooty, but I'm not, and don't want to be a 'follower'.
Not since my Bay City Roller days, anyway.

Clooney and coffee, Vorderman and equity release, Titchmarsh and death cover, Peter Andre anything that'll pay, Ant n Dec mortgages (really?), and so it goes on. Slebs will front anything if the pay is right - just look at the Beckhams and their millions - hardly gained through his football or her fashion. Years ago I remember Katie Boyle fronting Camay soap, so its being going on for decades.
Eamonn Holmes has got one as well.
I've no truck with recipients getting them for worthy causes they've worked hard for; but like the honours system, its hard to to accept those who get them for mostly sitting in front of an autocue or spend their life on the red carpet, even though they might do a couple of hours in a homeless shelter once a month.
It really annoys me that whilst most people have to work hard for degrees etc, others have 'honorary' degrees and doctorships bestowed upon them;
The only people in my opinion to receive academic awards, should be those who have completed the work to the
required standard to acheive them.

so called celebrities and Royal family being the most usual recipients.Some of these wouldn't be capable of counting their own fingers in my opinion.I don't give a jot whether Amanda H .is selling her own brand of tat,if Helen M says brand x cream is the best or Johnny D advocates perfume Y.They are all selling something they probably don't even use. It is just using their name to advertise the product.
I don't believe for a minute that AH has that s*** in her house or that HM needs to use cream after her Botox.People on the whole are gullible and follow what the media preaches.They also tend to see those in the media as 'special' and believe their spiel.They are not special.The only people in my opinion to receive academic awards, should be those who have completed the work to the
required standard to acheive them.
