Ten Celebrity DON’T(S)

I consider myself an expert on celebrities and their lives…based solely on the fact that I watch too much TV. This is a list of ten celebrity don’t(s) for celebrities to not read…because they’re too busy being rich to care about what I have to say.

1. Avoid weekends with multiple hookers.

2. Do not attack the paparazzi with an umbrella and shaved head.

3. Do not go to 20/20 begging your celeb daughter to forgive you for being a jack ass.

4. Do not blame the destruction of your family on your daughter’s successful career.

5. When stealing handbags and jewelry try to make eye contact with the surveillance cameras and mouth the words “I
didn’t do it” for dramatic effect.

6. When creating your sex tape consider sleeping with people we actually want to see naked.

7. When preparing for your mug shot after driving drunk…AGAIN…please smile, we’ll be looking at those pictures for a LONG time.

8. Don’t bother dating anyone exclusively…it won’t last. At best you MIGHT get a Taylor Swift song out of the deal if you date her, but I don’t recommend a relationship with anyone else.

9. Don’t think you’re a celebrity when your claim to fame is a reality TV show. You’re not a celebrity…people just like to watch you embarrass yourself.

10. Don’t ignore your fans…especially when they’ve been writing you letters confessing they’re undying love and affection and faith for three years now.

Ohhh #10…spot on!
Perfect List!

Jessica April 20, 2011 at 10:09 pm

Hmmm….I think the last one might be directed at a certain person that you have a major crush on.

The Drama Mama April 20, 2011 at 10:11 pm

Ha! These are fabulous. I can’t decide which was my favorite. Both 6 and 9 made me snort.

Love #5 and 6. LOL! Thanks for the smile :)

When oh when will Ellen and/or “her people” come to their senses?!

I’m so proud that I know almost every person you’re referring to here. I used to live under a rock, but I crawled out and got pretty smart!
I love #6!

#6 and #9 – spot on!

MamaRobinJ April 20, 2011 at 10:51 pm

Hilarious! Love #6. If people would actually listen to #9, I’d be a lot less annoyed.

I enjoyed this! I would have loved doing this prompt, but random.org thought otherwise, it IS National Poetry Month, and there was a poetry prompt after all. You know those poetry prompts attract me like a Real Housewife within range of a Botox clinic.

And on #10 …. pass the gumbo. :-)

I’d like to say, ‘Great List!’ and I will, but, honestly, I don’t know why. I guess I’m one of those people who live under a rock. (Okay, I did get two of your references and the last one about Ellen) :)

Karen V. April 21, 2011 at 2:41 am

I have two questions: Why do they sleep with the losers? and
How could Ellen not give you a regular spot on her show? You are amazing and I love the song… Awesome list!

Diane April 21, 2011 at 2:55 am

Great celebrity advice! Love numbers 8 & 9 especially!

I just heard from Ellen. She says to tell you that she’s been receiving your letters, and appreciates your interest. She only communicates with her fans via her blog. However, there’s a problem with her RSS feed and she can’t connect with you. She’s planning on having a party for all her fans and you will be the first one on her invitation list. She says to be patient, have a martini or two, and when she gets things sorted out, you’ll be hearing from her.

LOVE #6 – fantastic ;) Although I think it’s a rule that should also be followed through into the professional sex tape industry too. I’m not sayin’ I’m a connoisseur or anything, but GAWD, some of those guys are just nasty!

Jennifer@ The Mommy Mambo April 21, 2011 at 3:33 am

Blaming the daughter for the destruction of the family seems only fair. Well, in some instances. If half the planet can blame that same daughter on the destruction of their own daughter’s morals and wardrobe, why can’t Pop! Everybody needs SOMEONE to sue these days. Some are running out of options and must get creative! LOL

Reply

Peg April 21, 2011 at 3:49 am

You would think Ellen would get the hint by now, wouldn’t you?

Reply

Anne Province April 21, 2011 at 3:59 am

Ohhh #6 tickled my funny bone! (for that matter.. all of them did!).
And maybe it’s time that all your fans start writing to Ellen begging her to get you on her show. The campaign to get MamaKat on the Ellen Degeneres Show!

Heidi Smith Luedtke April 21, 2011 at 4:07 am

Ok, Mama Kat, fess up. Who have you been writing love letters to for three years now?! ;-) Seriously, my fave it #9. I hate reality TV. If I wanted to watch people embarrass themselves in public, I’d get a job and laugh at my quirk coworkers. Or I’d go to Walmart. Incognito (read: in pajamas.)

Kmama April 21, 2011 at 4:20 am

#6 is my absolute favorite!!

erica April 21, 2011 at 4:23 am

I must say, I do enjoy a lovely mugshot- posed, of course!

Annie @ astonesthrowfrominsanity April 21, 2011 at 4:54 am

Personally, I like number six.

Ugly naked people I do not want to see! Beautiful naked people? Definitely!! :)

Reply

Suzie April 21, 2011 at 5:01 am

I totally agree with #6! LOL! :-)

Michelle Pixie April 21, 2011 at 5:38 am

Hee Hee! I think you need to submit these to the Screen Actors Guild so they can implement them as rules to live by! ;-)

Beth April 21, 2011 at 10:45 am

I’m sorta freaking out cause I apparently USED TO know all the celebrity gossip. Now I have no idea who #3 and #4 are about. Oh no, I’m losing my grip on celebreality. It will take me at least an hour or two to get it back ;-)

Diapers In The Desert April 21, 2011 at 11:14 am

HAHAHAHHAHAHA…..OH How I love this list… Let me count the ways…. (reverting back to third grade) “If you love it so much, why don’t you marry it!” Well, yes… I think I might… I will email you our SAVE the DATE… I think your list and I will be very happy together… Hmmm, Maybe Ellen will officiate for me?

Reply

Anne April 21, 2011 at 11:55 am

#6 – Hilarious! I recently came across the now dated Tommy Lee Jones and Pamela Anderson tape that someone gave me as a joke years ago. Yuck. I really don’t need to see either of those 2 naked. Tommy lee Jones driving a boat with his schlong? Gross.

Carolyn (temysmom) April 21, 2011 at 2:29 pm

And of course you sent this list to Ellen, right? That woman doesn’t know what she’s missing.

Reply

jackie April 21, 2011 at 2:52 pm

LOL!!! I love #6

Elena April 21, 2011 at 4:02 pm

Seriously – does Ellen live under a rock? How is she not picking up on all these clues. ;)

Jennifer April 21, 2011 at 5:54 pm

#10 was my favorite.

I have a question about your site, would you mind emailing me back @ kthomas@primroseschools.com?

Thanks,
