Celebs sound like morons when they talk about playing ‘normal’ people

“Stars — they’re just like us!” Us Weekly has been insisting for nearly 20 years in its popular feature.

A-listers desperately need you to know that they are about as much like us as a pile of diamonds on a private beach in Fiji is.
