AIBU regarding celebrity children and nepotism?

[Rhine]

Ive just read on the DM online that Gordon Ramsey's 13 year old daughter is getting her own cookery show again. Having seen said child on The One Show with her father earlier this year I thought she seemed obnoxious and bratty and can't imagine why anyone would want to watch anything hosted by her, but there you go I suppose it's what happens when you have a famous daddy (or mummy).

It's the same with the Beckham children getting all of these high profile modelling gigs. Are they particuarly good looking children? Not in my opinion, not ugly by any means but not expetional to look at either. Its just because of who they are.

It's all over the industry, celeb kids getting gigs because of eho their parents are. There are probably thousands of kids out there who are far more talented, able and more attractive but aren't gettting a look in because they don't have the connections.

It doesn't seem fair to me.

I'd really rather the profile of those who worked for it was elevated, how else do you encourage aspiration?

I agree that there aren't quotas and that many people in the entertainment industry make their place, as opposed to a place coming up IYSWIM.

There is a lot of nepotism but with perhaps the exception of modelling I don't think they really get anywhere unless they are reasonably good at the job.

I'm always a bit wary when models suddenly decide to go into acting, I probably judge their ability to act far more than I would someone who wasn't already a success in another field, usually I find them wanting and that may be harsh.

There are a few models who who I think wouldn't have got where they are without the famous parents. Georgia Jagger comes to mind, she's not even of the required height for models. No way would she be a model if it wasn't for her parents. That Cara Dev thingy, her father owns the Harrods site, not a celeb as such but very influential. Rod Stewart's daughter another.

People like Kelly Osbourne annoy me especially. She has tried just about every field of the media, and failed in every one, yet she is still working!
