Nepotism: Favoritism shown or patronage granted to relatives, as in business.

It's a term that has become more and more prevalent to pop culture of late and is a term that you and I can all relate to. Let's face it, no matter what profession you are a part of, no matter what level of employment, there's always politics and favoritism. It's a reality of the workplace where a person's last name is good enough to leap frog over your resume and get the job you should have.

It's seems now that "celebrity" has become a gene passed down whereby these nobodies have become 'somebody' only by association.

Here's a little list of the biggest offenders, and examples of what it is to be a "Celebri-tease":

*PARIS HILTON

Surprise, surprise, look who's on top?

Prior to 2003 no one even knew Paris Hilton existed. Paris first made waves with sister Nicki as a couple of 'good time girls' who would jump anything that moves. I'll give it to Paris though, for some unheard of reason she has been able to keep her celebrity cache at an all time high, while sister Nicki's future looks as bright as Paris' "home video" with Rick Solomon.

Paris recently stated that "The greatest misconception about me is that I don't work for a living. People who really know me know I'm a machine."

I don't think anyone will argue that she's a machine. Just ask Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Kennedy, Nick Carter, Deryck Whibley, Simon Rex, Edward Furlong, Oscar de La Hoya and of course the "other" Paris, Latsis. I know people use the term "sloppy seconds" but what the hell is Latsis getting?


*NICOLE RITCHIE

You can't have Paris without Nicole, even though Paris has clearly dropped Richie like a guy's pants. Richie of course is the daughter of singer Lionel Richie.

Ritchie is trying her best to fit into celebrityculture.

With the 3rd installment of "The Simple Life" coming up, you have to wonder how much more shelf life Richie can keep. Her star is fading fast without Paris and based on her recent look, her disappearing may be more than just be a figurative statement:

*THE GOTTI FAMILY

This one is just messed. Here's a family living off the name of a notorious mob boss and that apparently qualifies you for a reality show.

"Growing Up Gotti" is the attempt by A&E to present the Gottis as down to earth folks, your next door neighbors so to speak. The description on their website states that "Victoria Gotti struggles to balance her writing career, looking for love and her three sons". Excuse me while I wipe a tear for this woman's immense struggle.

How about a show called "Growing Up without a Father" and profile one of Gotti's loan shark victims? Hey I wonder what the families of Timothy McVeigh are up to?


*KIMBERLY STEWART

Let's just call her "Skank in Waiting". She's essentially the heir to Nicole Richie's golden thong when she gives it up.

As the daughter of Rod Stewart, you know she must have had a perfectly
normal and conventional upbringing.

Hey let's play a game of identify the daughter versus the girlfriend:

Credentials: She's blonde, skinny and has a rocker for a father. Wow. Let's get her in a recording studio while we’re at it.


*LIV TYLER

Now I know I'm going to strike a nerve with a few "Empire Records" fans here but let's be honest, this girl was most known for being the "other" bimbo next to Alicia Silverstone throughout most of the '90s.

I give Liv all the credit in the world. She had it even worse than Stewart, having Steven Tyler as your Dad? It's a miracle she's made it to adulthood at all.

Lord of the Rings? Would that movie have been different one iota had it been Kate Beckinsale or Julianna Marguilles in that role?

I'm sorry Liv but you get the thumbs down for doing nothing of note in your career other than looking pretty after getting into an industry because of "Daddy".


*THE BALDWIN BROTHERS

They are all equally terrible. I don't care if it's Alec, Stephen or even Adam. Who gives a sh*t? I'm not wasting anymore public space on these idiots. And they're pricks to boot.

Who did I leave out? Leave your comments on the board, people who are famous for DOING NOTHING!

The JoPo

Our take on the world, is funny and skewed we admit it. We talk about Jessica Simpson, nipple rings, politics, girls, hot girls, Britney Spears and all the rest of the wacky and weird.
