British reality star Jade Goody died

[AdamGB]

........

That just says how she got what she got... not what SHE actually did for it. The media have nothing better to write about... big brother's producers fancy sticking a random charv on the show and she gets money because society is so sad that they obsess over her. That's some break to have 'earned'.

Max Clifford has managed to milk our obsession with watching metaphorical car crashes, love of looking down on 'lesser people' and love or 'pantomime villains' very well... that is a talent... Jade Goody has been lucky enough to have been taken along on that ride by him. Good for her... I'm not even knocking her, simply saying that it has been a case of EASY COME and unfortunately easy go.

To piggy back on Fenster, lots of upper class people don't deserve what they have either.

You won't find somebody who agrees more. What's your point? I'm not attacking lower classes or even Jade Goody.

The whole point I am making is that it is easy come easy go. Here today gone tomorrow.

Adam there have been literally hundreds of reality tv stars created over the last 10 years, Jade was the only who managed to convert that into a successful and lasting media career.
off the top of my head - Kerry Katona, Paris Hilton, Jodie Marsh... there are 100s of barely talented/untalented people who make money because they keep themselves in the papers after getting there one way or another...

It was hardly easy come easy go. Think how many hundreds of people have been on just Big Brother in the UK over the past decade, a couple hundred I'd imagine. Then add in all the other reality shows.

How many of them went on to have successful media careers and become millionaires like Jade?
Congratulate her publicist/manager, like I've said she's done very little compared to what she's got. Despite me mentioning her manager before I think you seem to be under the impression that she's planned everything or something. Max Clifford has planned how to work the tabloids and Goody hasn't had do do anything particularly hard to follow this plan.

It wasn't easy at all. I know people personally who have applied to get on Big Brother (and yes I think that is unbelievably sad!). But there are literally thousands of hopefuls every single year. Most of them are not even 'regular' people at all but already ambitious types signed up with modelling agencies, their own agents etc.
So we agree that it's down to luck/who the producers want in the house... Why do you think there's always a tranny/giant queen in it? the PRODUCERS put together what ever ingredients they need for friction/amusement and LUCKY for Jade they needed some ten a penny Charv

Jade literally was just a dental nurse, no agent, no modelling career, not particularly attractive, she was just a common chav.

Yet unlike virtually every single other reality star ever she made it, and she made it big.

There's nothing easy about it. It's no easier to become a millionaire celebrity via the reality tv route than it is to go via acting, football, modelling, singing etc. In fact those disciplines offer far more opportunities for a real career than appearing on a reality show ever could.


How many famous reality stars are created each year compared with footballers, actors, singers, bands etc?


If you think anyone could do it and that it didn't take hard work and a real talent for self promotion on her part why not just do it yourself and bag an easy fortune mate?

if I was lucky enough to have Big Brother wanting a polite lower middle class kid on the show I'm sure I could. I'd of course have to rely on sheeple loving to bitch about me/look down on me.

What Jade managed to achieve for herself literally out of nothing was incredible.
Incredibly lucky

It's also worth noting that as a direct result of Jade's publicising her battle with cancer that literally thousands of woman around the country have been enquiring about getting cervical smear tests and even a committee has been set up to institute a new health care policy of bringing in smear tests for cervical cancer for the under 25's, something which is believed will save thousands of lives.

So this simple common girl will leave a lasting legacy and help prevent the early deaths of thousands of women in this country, ironically meaning she has done more for the betterment of mankind (well womankind) than all the other really talented people that you esteem above her.
lol Bilbo don't just throw that out there... Who are we talking about here? Plenty of Celebritys do things things to raise money for/awareness of causes. Who exactly am I esteeming over her by saying that she is lucky and relatively talentless compared to what she has amassed? I don't see how that is at all a fallacy. She's worth as much as any other human and because of our sad culture and by being picked out of 1000s of other Charvs has managed to accumulate a lot
