Can we have celebrities worth having please?

I've just heard that mega celeb Katie Price on the radio banging on yet again about she's sick and tired of the media hounding her and generally not leaving her alone.I don't know what I can stomach less.Her or the fawning sycophancy of her interviewer,Steve Wright.

Now if the same thing was happening to me,the last thing I would do is invite my critics into the sanctuary of my home.Not Jordan (or Katie or whatever she's calling herself these days).She actually invited them into her house to make them dinner....

I've often wondered what on earth makes her and other 'celebrities' think that we want to know every minutiae thing about them, and what valid point they imagine that they have to impress upon us.

Here's a thing that I reckon we should all try and do.Think of someone who's achieved something worthwhile and meaningful and make THEM a celebrity with the same media coverage.

A Celebrity for doing something other than being rich,beautiful,having large breasts or eating something unrecognisable in a far flung location.Someone that doesn't whore themselves out to who ever will pay the most for their tawdry life stories that nobody really cares about except themselves and their overpaid and delusional clique.

Here's a revolutionary thought: Let's start having celebrities that people can aspire to.Celebrities that are role models to be proud of.

In years to come,I dread to think what future generations will make of the society that we currently live,compared the those that have come before us.Previous people of standing in society were those such as Isaac Newton,Nelson,Churchill,Charles Dickens etc.What do we have now?

Try and think of a celeb(I'm really starting to hate that phrase)that isn't made into a media product.It's not that easy believe me.

Professor Brian Cox OBE is a Royal Society research fellow and a holder of the Institute of Physics Kelvin Prize.He works at European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) on the largest physics projects even seen on our planet (the Large Hadron Collider).He achieved all of this despite leaving school with a Grade D in Mathematics.He now presents and co writes the BBCTV series Wonders Of The Solar System.

Pretty impressive eh?

But the one thing that the media has chosen to publicise about him is that he played keyboards in D:ream.The Labour party chose to use their one and only hit,Things Can Only Get Better,in their 1997 General Election campaign.

I rest my case....
