Who are the REAL A-List celebrities? First one to say Kim Kardashian gets 
Just want to put that out there up front.... There are others that may earn the poster a but you'll just have to live dangerously.
So the REAL A-Listers... Christian Bale - Definately Johnny Depp - Definately Who else?  I'm firmly planted in denial |

I have no idea who Logan Mccree is.
I don't get the A-List thing. Beyonce....so over exposed...couldn't care less if she showed up Rihanna....she's everywhere...I'm not into her Chris Brown...same. I'm firmly planted in denial |

How are Brad and Ange not A list? Shiloh's baby photos went for the most expensive price ever. They're followed everywhere daily by tons of photographers. They donate their time and money to charities everywhere. They're both insanely hot 
How is Britney not A-List? She has the record for only female artist to have all her album debut at #1 and #2 on the American charts. She holds a ton of other records and has sold around 80 million records worldwide. Her perfume Fantasy is THE best seller in the world. Once again, her apperance on a sitcom saved it from being axed. Her latest album sold 3 million WITHOUT ANY significant promotion and 3 craptastic videos. Fans voted her video Piece of Me for Best Female, Best Pop and Video of the Year at this years VMAs. Serious news stations report her every move and analyze her to death. They bring in professional doctors, lawyers, the lot - just to talk about one pop star that was probably meant to fade away years ago. Her videos on youtube have over 50 million views. Sorry, but despite what anyone thinks of her, she's A List. As for Heath, don't presume I said that because he passed away. You knew who he was before he died right? You knew he was nominated for an Oscar and was in a groundbreaking, incredibly controversial movie right? You remember the hype for the Joker BEFORE Heath died, right? Directors and producers used to handpick him all the time for the roles he got. That doesn't happen for just anyone. | |

Really, the work they do is great, but they are in the pap too much for me. Not by their choice, but Lord enough of them already. Britney, she sells big, but IMHO she is way over-rated. She again is in the pap too much and in her case it's debateable about how much of that is her choice. Heath, no I had no idea....I live under a rock.  He's past A List.I'm firmly planted in denial |

Clooney. Dude stays up in the Hollywood stratosphere. And, I believe his best work is yet unproduced. | |

Heath is NOT past A List, he's (unfortunately) never been more famous. No they don't. Many of the truly deserving people in the world don't get any press and many of those that get excessive amounts of press are vacant wastes of resources. Now anyone can buy pap's. As for Heath Ledger....he's past A-list...he's now unfortunately legend. I say unfortunately because he was wonderfully talented and gave stellar performances in his projects, but he died young and by sad means (accidental od is very sad), so we'll not see where he would have gone in the future.

Many of the truly deserving people in the world don't get any press and many of those that get excessive amounts of press are vacant wastes of resources. Now anyone can buy pap's. If you have so many paparazzi surrounding you, you can barely move and they camp outside your house (like they do with Ange/Brad/Britney) then sorry, but that's A list. And if you're judging A list solely on who's deserving, well, to me, Brad and Ange are. I'd also put the Beckhams on the A list too. Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes Will Smith/Jada Pinkett Beyonce/Jay Z All the power couples. As for Heath Ledger....he's past A-list...he's now unfortunately legend. I say unfortunately because he was wonderfully talented and gave stellar performances in his projects, but he died young and by sad means (accidental od is very sad), so we'll not see where he would have gone in the future.
So you mean "past" A list in a good way then? | |

So you mean "past" A list in a good way then? Yes I mean past A list in a good way.
And I take no stock in the amount of press one gets as an indication of their A-list status. That's just me being out of touch though. Seriously.  Celebrity watching is a bore now. (IMHO)
Many people listed are A-list in that they have all the fame etc, but with fame so easily bought, the list is tainted. It's like the Hollywood Walk of Fame...you buy your star. It's also double edged...Brad and Angelina a prime example. Top stars shoved down the collective throat. Coverage of them so skewed that more people know their kids names than the causes they support. I'm firmly planted in denial |
