[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women on this board have some weird obsession with her.[/quote] I do! It’s from this mainly. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/06/style/katherine-schwarzenegger-pratt.html She’s just perfect for the current zeitgeist for some reason. It’s the perfect storm of Anna faris being likeable, Chris Pratt seeming like a twit and her having this hard to pin down ickiness. There’s something so gross about them and it’s hard to figure out what it is.[/quote] It's not them. It's you. It's called jealousy.[/quote] DP. I know you have an agenda, but I agree with PP. it’s not jealousy. It’s that she is self-important when really she has had everything handed to her on a silver platter. She writes about “topics she’s passionate about.” That could be a self help book about faith or a children’s book about sisterhood. Why is she an authority on any of those topics? Because she is a well connected child of two famous people, and has a publicist. The NYT profile on her only demonstrated what a joke she is. Anyone in her position with any humility or self-awareness wouldn’t embarrass themselves on that kind of platform. She’s like the Ivanka trump of undeclared politics. Wealthy and photoshopped, but devoid of substance. [/quote] This. Nailed it. They epitomize PR, connections, and wanting attention. They are both uninteresting. Stop promoting yourselves!. I find him more annoying than her, though. He seems really dumb: low IQ, low EQ. [/quote] I agree with these comments and don't think it's jealousy -- there are plenty of celebrity or wealthy couples I unabashedly enjoy because they are so much wealthier, more beautiful, and more talented than I am. This one bugs. That said, I'm the opposite. I find her much more annoying than him. It's the nepotism of it all. The level of self-seriousness she has when talking about her "achievements" is really vicariously embarrassing to me. I appreciate it when these kids of the rich and famous have a sense of humor and self-awareness about it all (and there are lots of examples of that). Meanwhile, Katherine genuinely seems to think that she got these book deals due to the inherent brilliance of her writing and ideas. It's comical. I also find it especially obnoxious because I am aware that in prior generations, Kennedy/Shriver kids were raised to be much more self-aware about their wealth and privilege. But here's Katherine all "I don't know, I guess people just really love what I have to say!" Pratt is annoying but I do think he had/has some comedy and acting chops and that he largely earned his success and money. I don't really like him but I think if he was single or married to someone else, I wouldn't take notice one way or the other. Most actors strike me as self-centered and shallow, it feels rare when they aren't. Sometimes their self-centered shallowness is even amusing to me, like with Amanda Seyfried. I find her charming even though I think she's a bit of a narcissistic space cadet.[/quote] This is so true. She lacks the ability to be a real person in front of the camera. Lately she has come up in my feed on Instagram doing like make up tutorials and she’s trying to, you know keep it real, like throwing things like oh I totally burned my finger on the toaster oven. And I’m like, OK? Hashtag so relatable? It’s falling completely flat. It seems like she is observing real people and trying to mimic what they do to seem like a real human. It is bizarre. She might have better luck if she went the Kristin Cavallari route. Kristen does not try to be relatable in any way. I mean, I get that she has a podcast called Let’s be honest, but I have listened to a couple of episodes and one was about how she was out with her kids and some man came up to her and told her how hot she was. She is not trying to really be vulnerable or relatable and that works for her. Catherine should just give into that or give it up. [/quote]
