Celebutards

That's the title of a new book from Andrea Peyser. Don Surber describes it this way:

Celebutards is a word coined by the Post’s Page Six gossips. It’s a noun meaning:

1. A famous person with a grandiose notion of his own importance and contribution to the known universe.

2. A human being of sub-par intellect, oversized ego and colossal bank account, whose existence represents a drag on the food chain, waste of oxygen and severe annoyance.

3. An egregious moron. (Origin: from the Latin celebutardus Paris Hiltonus maximum Baldwinus) ...

Peyser has met some of these jerks and that provides some valuable insight.

Hers is a stroll through recent history. There’s Sean Penn rowing through New Orleans looking for Hurricane Katrina victims (”bring out your dead”) only to have to be rescued himself.

There’s peace advocate Timothy Robbins threatening bodily harm to a reporter.
There’s Jimmy Carter sucking up to dictators and libeling the Jews as he trolls for a Nobel.

There’s Laurie David, flipping the finger to drivers of SUVs on her way to the airport to Gulfstream her way to 25,000-square-foot mansions on the two coasts.

My favorite chapter is Barbra Streisand, snootily talking down to us …as she falls for an Internet hoax.

I laughed out loud just reading Miss Streisand’s inane words.
