Who's more glamourous - movie or music stars?

[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 6091187, member: 46713"] That doesn't work for me because what are actors doing when they make public appearances outside of movies or tv shows? They act, they're playing a role. It's what they do. If musicians make a public appearance and don't perform their songs, they're doing something that's not part of their job desciption (disclaimer: yeah, I know, they also have to promote their music somehow, but how many musicians actually enjoy that part?). My perception is different. Imho, this isn't plenty, it's exceptions to the rule. Daniel Day Lewis is actually a great example because he strikes me as glamorous precisely because he makes himself so uncharacteristically rare. His eccentricity is the secret for his popularity in celeb shows. I agree and think it's why you disagree with me: I wouldn't call any of the musicians I appreciate (and hence worth the name) 'glamorous'. I consider the vast majority of the music-stars that typically hog the top of the charts as completely irrelevant. They're at best entertainers, not artists. So, my view of the performing profession is clearly skewed :) And this is probably a second and maybe even more important source of disagreement between us: I cannot think of any context in which I wouldn't describe someone like Michael Jackson as glamourous. It's actually one of the first examples I'd think of! [/QUOTE]
