You know, those names you hear on the radio, or see on your cleaners "Heat" magazine

I will start,

Kylie Jenner, who or what is that ? I get the impression its Kardashian related but not sure.

Lucy Meckelburgh ?

Various people called with Fox or Foxx as part of their name that arent that DJ who claims to be a doctor or Basil Brush.

Sam Faiers ?

Kendal Jenner, must be related to the other Jenner ?

Cant remember any more and need to do some work but I would really like to know who all these type of folk are and what they have done for me to be aware of them ?

I rarely watch much TV, especially not that reality ste. When I hear people mention names, I'm met with a look of disgust when I ask "who?"

I couldn't tell you who any of those are in the OP.

Kardashians, I have completely missed out on the whole point of them or what they've done, the wife tells me they're famous and when I ask why she doesn't seem to have much of an answer as to why. When I first heard people going on about them I was fairly sure they were referring to an Alien race on Star Trek.

Any of those side-bar celebs you get in the Mail, not a chuffin' clue who they are.

I don't even know who the 'stars' are in most films these days. Or in the Hit Parade top 40.

Only ones I know are the ones called Fox

Sam Fox was a popular topless model and minor TV celebrity in the 1980s
Megan Fox is a film actress, but I can't think of any films she has been in
Jamie Foxx is an actor. He played Ray Charles in a biopic once.

Ashleigh Madison sounds like the first names given to a baby girl by aspirational, but ultimately council parents.

The fact that I don't listen to Radio 1 anymore, thanks to the world of Internet radio, means that I have no idea who many of the popular music artists are these days...

They are famous because one of them sucked dick and the video ended up on the internet.

That Katie Hopkins, I only ever hear about her when she says something outrageously stupid and offensive. Did she originally get her name out there on The Apprentice or something?

When I used to get the train to work, every day without fail there would be a story about someone called Cara Delevingne in the Metro, no idea what she does or who she is, and the stories always seemed to be about what party she went to or who she annoyed on Twitter.

Come to think of it when did Twitter suddenly become newsworthy? More and more you hear news stories about "celeb A said x about celeb B", what?

Or because their father was one of OJ Simpson's lawyers.
