I'll give you Pauly the Weasel, SHELLY...
As far as the others being moguls-
Foxworthy parlayed "You might be a redneck" into a multimedia empire- Books, DVD's, apparel, a long running TV show that stars him (and is named after him). Now he has a full comedy troupe that sells out arenas. I believe he owns it all. Rich and famous, completely relevant after all these years...
Jessica (with the help of her ambitious dad- I'll be kind) parlayed a decent voice and good looks into a mainstream music career, she had a hit tv show, she has starred in major motion pictures, she has her own line of designer clothing, shoes, jewelry, hair products. She is a paid spokesperson for Proactiv- a market leader in skin products...
A decent argument can be made that these two are icons...
I'm not a big fan of either of them. But I am not a hater. You're way off if you were talking about these two when you said that by getting hit with a dead cat that it would be a career boost (or whatever you said)...
But regardless of all this sillyness,
How I feel can be summed up simply with-
I think it is neat that INSERT CELEBRITY NAME is here visiting our little slice of paradise...
Everything else I posted was just me reacting to the negativity...
Later...
