It sure looks like dynasties of famous people are occupying our media. Do the celebrities’ kids deserve that popularity, or are they just taking advantage of their famous last names?
We think it has to be both. The last name can give you a push, but if you don’t have any charm, you can’t remain popular.
Right?
