..to be sick to death of having celebs' teenage kids in every publication I read?

It can't just to be me? They're just everywhere, the little feckers and their only acheivement? A famous mum or dad - arrgh!!

Don't get me wrong, I love reading fashion mags and have since I was 15 or 16, I love clothes and make up and if it pisses me off so much I should just stop reading them.

I'm really sick of seeing some teenager dressed up in clothes I will never be able to afford just because they're the child of some celeb and they've decided they want to be famous too. It makes me incandescent with rage!

Off to have a camomile tea and a little lie down.

Not all the Geldof girls, just the skinny fashionable ones.

Yes, but they will be fucked up in the end by celebrity, so perhaps we should fell sorry for them

LOL at "incandescent with rage". Love that phrase

I couldn't be less interested in them. In fact I don't think I have ever met anyone who had any interest in them.

That's just it, they are of no interest! Pointless little rich kids, nothing more dull.

YANBU. They all seem to have a mssive sense of entitlement "look at me, daddy used to be famous so I should to". I wish they would all piss off an get a normal job.

IMO The Times Style section is the worst for promoting sleb offspring.

I always wonder what Fifi Geldof thinks of her sisters. I'd shake mine if they acted like that!

Urgh at the Suri Cruise article. Am that you can even buy such grown up shoes for the child (I mean, I'd wear some of those flats which just makes them look wrong on a 3 year old...)

I also am sick of sleb offspring. There seem to be more every week (as the likes of Coco Sumner come out of the woodwork). Boring.

Although am confused by Lily Allen. Hate her annoying dad, think she got her break because of him, find her voice quite irritating but still...I find her a refreshing alternative to the X Factorisation of pop. Confusing!

YANBU. I did LOVE the pictures that came from NY Fashion Week of Anna Wintour snubbing Pixie/Peaches/Fairydust and their friend at the front row at a show. HILARIOUS.

EWWWWW to celeb children. Especially the way the press has reacted to Lourdes, Madonna's daughter. I've read numerous articles on her fashion sense and all around gorgeousness.

She's 12.

She's a child.

EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!

The really sick stuff around being a fashionista, look at how gorgeous she is etc. etc. is Suri Cruise. She's THREE FFS.

What disturbs me most about that article though, is Forbes magazine calling Suri "Hollywood's hottest tot". They, as much as her parents, are guilty of thrusting her inappropriately into the adult world. (I know "hot" isn't referring to sex-appeal, but it is objectifying a child into being a fashion item)

I don't read sleb magazines anymore. Nasty, parasitical, hypocritical

My recent favourite is Kurt Cobain's daughter, who wrote an open letter to Lindsay Lohan's sister in the American press, telling her she has no right to trade on her sister's name to gain fame and that no one is interested.

And why does she feel the world wants to know her opinion on this? Could it be that her dad was a bit famous? Glass houses and all that.
