seems I'm not the only one unhappy with pop culture

I have never seen this show, nor do I have any aspirations to. My question is: why are they famous? What is it that their talent is? I fail to understand why our generation is so quick to idolize the likes of them, the cast of the hills, or any of the other Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian types.

Really??!? Fake tans, 'reality' TV shows, sex tapes, bad behavior, social 'networking' sites... is that what our age group is going to be known for?

My Demographic

I started this blog mainly to serve as an outlet for thoughts that have no other place to go, no appropriate recipient or medium. While most of my demographic would opt for a facebook note or relentless twitter updates, I find something disturbing about those forums. Before I get carried away, perhaps I should explain what 'my demographic' entails. I hope I can accomplish an accurate portrayal while maintaining anonymity. The group I am referring to consists of the affluent, young, suburban, somewhat professional girl. The celebrity-blog-checking- twitter-updating-self-photo-taking-north-american-prototypical girl. Without appearing 'judgmental' (we all know how much that grinds everybody's gears), it seems that I am surrounded by a group of brainless, shallow individuals with no other aim than to perfect their facebook profile picture pose. I think at this point I'm just curious to know if there's anybody else out there wondering, is there more?
