    Tyler Perry?

    He's had like 3 first weekend top grossing movies. Very few directors/producers can say that. Perry is one of those few. Plus, he has the perfect rags-to-riches story. He went from being a guy who was homeless to having his own Hollywood production company and own studio.

    Like his movies or not, they somehow are successful. I myself cannot stand his 'Madea' movies but I do like his other movies.

    I don't even know why he's even mentioned in this thread.

      I gotta disagree with J-Lo too. I agree that she really can't sing or act that good, but you can't deny she had some pretty successful movies/hits.

          My wife gets US Weekly and reads all the gossip sites. It drives me nuts as is, but puts me over the top when I see her reading about the clowns from The Hills or Laguna Beach. Why the F does anyone care about them?

              He should be proud of what he's accomplished in his situation, but that doesn't erase the fact that his movies are so popular despite being complete garbage.

                well, he was a good stand up in my mind, I mean he worked his way up showcasing his talent. even though his acting career is less that stellar, hes nowhere near the level of Paris Hilton type.

                  Because just like your post,it's an opinion. I personally can't explain why people like his movies or shows.I think they are terrible. I also don't understand why Carson Daily has his own show.

                    I never watched that show but I can not stand that dude and his girl friend. Just looking at them makes me want to punch them in the face.

                      This thread needs more Haterade. These responses (aside from octo-mom cause I refuse to believe she's famous even though she is) make me laugh.

                      It's fame you cannot explain, not "Celebrities who you wish would go penny-less."

                      The Hills? Easy to explain. Loved by women all over.

                      Paris Hilton? Daddy's little girl who has enough money and power to join the celebrities everywhere that she got a rub from them.

                        But the whole point of the thread is explaining why someone is famous and not why his movies are terrible. Tyler Perry's fame is easily explained. He's a successful Hollywood director.

                          If that's the case then the thread might as well not exist. You can explain anyone's fame, even Octo-mom's.

                            He had a bit of a cult following before he really broke into movies, and I never really understood why. I cannot for life of me understand why people think that man is funny. But again, this is all opinions, and obviously mine is the unpopular one.

                                Larry the Cable Guy.

                                One night I watched him on Jay Leno, he was being interviewed.

                                The next night he was on Letterman. It was word for word the exact same interview. I know that comediens give the hosts stuff to feed them, but LtCG guy the exact same responses verbatim.
