Why should celebs get so many answers and stars when they ask a question?

It’s not deserved is it? They ask a question with their shiny ‘official’ label, then never ask another one for 2 years! They never answer any questions but still end up with more stars than orions belt…who are ‘these people’. It’s not like they actually choose a best answer either.

Rant over…*breathe*

    It's so that some of the saddos that answer think that if they get a BA for it, that the "celeb" choose them over anyone else and can brag to all their mates :)

    Edit. You're right there, maybe with all the extra money they get for it, they might be able to fix this site. Or is that too much to ask for.

    Maybe not deserved at all, but with their shiny official label or celebrity shininess many people want to answer and star to see the results, but it does seem like a lot of yahoo answers "everyday" people are much more interesting and have better questions also!

    I think it's just recognition..more people are drawn to the question. Doesn't hurt that yapoo posts it front and center either. I answered one, it was a very interesting question about how we can raise our daughters not to be promiscuous. So I starred. If I didn't like the question, I wouldn't even answer 'just cause' it was a celeb.

    Good morning Carlos :-)

    Hey Jamie, Gilly's got two beautiful buzzing bees under her bonnet that I just love to squeeze the honey from.

    How come you've never answered any of my questions? I always pick the best answer for my own celebrity questions.

    I can't believe we were close on points and now you've way overtaken me.......I feel a challenge coming on.... I'll be answering anything and everything lol xx

    LMFAO Wow Carl, I love it when you get all ranty about something haha.

    I dunno babe, quite sad really isn't it, Ricky Gervais ain't kissing my baps, they're staying put under my top :-)

    *thought Orion's belt only had 3 stars in it, but since that info came from Men in Black, doesn't hold much regard for it*

  • It's not fair is it. I want a million answers and stars. I rarely see the celebrity stuff. For some reason they are too chicken to post in P&S.

    People like to associate themselves with famous types; it gives them an ego boosf. Myself, I honestly couldn't care less.

    Hope you feel better after getting that off your chest though, Carlos lol
