Topic: The Cult of Celebrity

Panellists: Louis Walsh, Glenda Gilson, Terry Prone, Michael O'Doherty and Medb Ruane.

There are no celebrities in Ireland, only grossly overpaid wafflers with big egos who crave adulation and fame as long as its ''business hours only''. Let them get a grip!

When so called celebs are interviewed they are never asked about politics, current affairs, the deficit or anything of interest. What does that say about celebrities when questions of that nature seem beyond them? What a bunch of muppets.

Where's Eoghan Harris? We want Harris.

Louis was always ahead of the posse. Remember "Timemachine".

What a load of shite! Bring back mad Vincent.

Shite, shite, shite. Just like all the rest of the establishment media now. What happened to all the real debate about the real world and recession that we're all suffering? Goodbye, we wont be tuning again.

Boring. Boring. Boring. Boring. Boring. Boring! What a disaster.

I always wondered about these top ten most gorgeous women. It is always celebrities who make the list but there is plenty of gorgeous normal women in d world and get no recognition.

Louis when are you going to sign me? I’m sick trying to live my dream! The show tonight was very interesting well done.

A question that has been troubling me for months now is: who is Queen of the WAGs? I can’t finish my PhD on the validity of anti matter particles within general relativity because Cole lost the title. Please help me.

Bono never gives his own money he gets everybody else to fork out.

Celebrity is utterly boring. Too much time given to it. Can we discuss something substantial? Please?

Dolores

Nice, light, pleasant viewing. Easy start. Look forward 2 future discussions.
