Selma Blair Says We Are Too Celebrity Obsessed

Aug 11, 2008 AT 09:06 am

Selma Blair sat down to talk about her upcoming project Kath & Kim, the American version of the hit Australian TV show and had some choice words about Americans. The actress insists our culture is too obsessed with celebrity. Who us? We are so NOT obsessed!

You don’t think there are some deluded Americans? Hey, how about all of us! "Everyone here is obsessed with tabloid celebrities and their lives and wanting to be like that, just like Kim.

"In America you have the people who watch the Lohans’ reality show and want to be like Dina and Ali Lohan and live in a house with a throne in it. Everywhere! They’re just everywhere!"

Kath & Kim is a classic Australian show. The mere fact that Selma Blair is even CAST in the American version shows that the US just doesn't get it. It will fail. Miserably. Then everyone who watches the Australian show will compare it to the crappy American version. This irritates me. Anyone who has never seen the Australian Kath & Kim, please watch this show before you see the crap American version.

Michael K at Dlisted has been raving about the original Kath&Kim and I'm really curious about it. When and where can you watch it? Is it available on You Tube as well?

I thought he said that it looks terrible. He was mad at Selma for being in it because he thinks it looks retarded. I've only seen one of his posts on it, though, so maybe I missed something. I think it looks funny, though, and I like Selma Blair.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to be like Dina or Ali Lohan. Why does she think we want to be like them? Doesn't she know that their show is a joke and that everyone is laughing at their pathetic a$$es? Is she that stupid??

haha, exactly. Its just our curiousity to see how the other side lives. NOw if Selma Blair doesn't like that people are too celebrity obsessed, then she's gonna lose her fans. And, also she's probably just jealous she isn't a HUGE celebrity.

The irony is that all Selma does all day is google herself and look at blogs
