but that's my point - i don't think *niche* fame makes for A List-ability. which isn't to say she is not huge in certain segments, just that (again, - Andie Jul 5, 13:10 13

  - Which are *niche* segments. Mass entertainment looks at her with a raised eyebrow. Hell, Paris Hilton at the height of her whoredome couldn't get - Will Hunting Jul 5, 13:14 1
    - that surprised me, as it seemed to be at the time that her face should have brought a couple $M, Brit splatted too but she still fills a stadium (even - zeitgeist Jul 5, 13:18

    - (i double negatived to make a point - i was saying she is huge in certain segments) -- nm - Andie Jul 5, 13:14 4
      - and yet, arguing the other way, she is vastly more popular than many actors who everyone here considers a-list - decline Jul 5, 13:21 3
        
        again, that's targeting her demographic. i fully agree that within that realm she is huge. -- nm - Andie Jul 5, 13:23
        
        Jolie would have to actually try at those things. Conversely, that kind of popularity is all Kim K has. -- nm - Reagen Jul 5, 13:22 1
        
        Jolie makes more from one film than Kim can make with 20 reality shows. -- nm - zork Jul 5, 13:26
- I'm pretty sure if you showed a photo of Kim Khardashian to my wife, she wouldn't know who she was. -- nm - Reagen Jul 5, 13:11
I think maybe MDH is using the Stefon definition: if you're opening the hottest new club in the city, the celebs you'd kill to have there are A-List. - TFox Jul 5, 13:08 6
- Though I would say the real A-List stars wouldn't be bothered with something like that so there is a separate "A-List" of that realm. -- nm - Dano Jul 5, 13:11 5
  - You would rather have Angelina Jolie at your club opening but she won't do it so you settle for (and do perfectly fine with) Kim. -- nm - Dano Jul 5, 13:14 4
    - I'm not sure I would have ever wanted Harrison Ford as the premier guest at a club opening. -- nm - Max Jul 5, 13:16 3
      - *grumbles in the corner* -- nm - Harrison Ford Jul 5, 13:17
      - Drunk and surly is perfect for a club opening! -- nm - Dano Jul 5, 13:17 1
        
        But you can guarantee his date won't eat all the buffet -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 5, 13:18
this. it's a totally subjective label that is not standard anywhere. -- nm - decline Jul 5, 13:08
