Celebutards. A compound of celebrity, debutante, and
retard, this blunt term describes lazy and egotistical stars
with too much money, fame, leisure time, and media
attention, but too little common sense or knowledge, who
love to spout off on topics about which they have zero
expertise. A longtime observer of the celebutard species, award-winning
New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser warns us that, in an
age in which fabulousness is too often mistaken for
gravitas, we must be ever vigilant of the hypocrites who
walk among us. With razor-sharp wit, she explodes the
absurdities of the celebutard culture, showing how a dull
thinker such as Madonna becomes a self-appointed sage on
matters of faith; Rosie O’Donnell transforms from a shrill,
gay mom into a physics expert who blames the tragedy of 9/11
on the U.S. government; singer Sheryl Crow urges us to use a
single square of toilet paper per wipe while she racks up
mileage in her gas-guzzling caravan of SUVs; and hothead
Sean Penn morphs into an expert on international diplomacy
as he brazenly breaks bread with enemies of his own country
like Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez. Always outspoken, never pulling any punches, Andrea Peyser
shows why it’s vitally important that these mental midgets
and media whores are exposed for the often dangerous phonies
they are. In these pages, she gives us everything we need to
recognize and uncover celebutards in our midst.
