    How Celebrities Stay Famous Regardless of Talent


    A new psychology study helps explain why some stars burn bright, long, long after their talent has faded - if it ever was there to begin with.


    Simply put, says Nathanael Fast of Stanford University in California, people need something to talk about. The human desire to find common ground in conversation pushes us to discuss already popular people, he says....


    If this whole argument seems circular, that's the point. Prominent people stay popular for longer than they ought to because they serve as conversational fodder, which in turn drives more media coverage.


    Mark Schaller, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, agrees. "It does provide an answer to the question of why fame is self-perpetuating, even when the famous person isn't doing anything fame-worthy anymore."


    What is less clear is how people, ideas and practices become prominent in the first place, Schaller says....


    "Catching an idea is not a whole lot different in some metaphorical way than catching a disease."

    NASA recently conducted a Citizens of Earth poll and found that a resounding 99% of the planets population would like Heidi & Spencer to be loaded onto a rocket and launched into the nearest black hole, where they will never, ever, ever, will be seen or heard from again.

    So I will no longer hear jokes about flesh colored beards, feathers, and the LHC on "The Soup". I guess you really do have to break eggs to make an omelet.

    I still say that Spencer is the product of a one night stand between a Ken doll and one of the villains from Dick Tracy.

    You almost have to admire them. Really. They're milking this whole, "nauseating beyond belief and annoying until you bleed from the ears" thing to all new heights. I swear it must feel like a full time job. "Spencer, how will we give the entire country a collective heave moment today?" "Let's ride poor immigrant children in Times Square while arm-wrestling the homeless and striking elderly women in their arthritic hip bones!" "Yes, let's! We'll be on Tyra within days." *Spencer does squinty, "I'm fierce" face.* "It'll be awesome!"

    Why the hell are we still discussing these two douchebags? Two years ago it was cute and now its just insulting. This morning alone an hour was wasted on these two humans on various major news outlets when any number of topics could have been discussed.

    Why are they on every show this morning? What are they promoting? They aren't on that get me out of here reality show anymore, and The Hills season ended. I'm confused.
