30 People More Interesting Than Paris Hilton

What is with everyone being obsessed with Jessica Simpson? She's interesting for about the amount of time it takes to read a news headline. There are so many people working hard every day being great, horrible, absurd, brilliant...a million different adjectives and I would love to hear about any of the following people over Miss Jessica Simpson...or Brittany Spears...or Lindsay Lohan...or Paris Hilton (even if she is in jail).

In no particular order:

1. Bill Gates: Seriously, he is totally geeky but absolutely interesting. He's one of American's most famous business men, corporate leaders, household names. He's twitchy, intelligent, and bizarre. To some, he is a symbol of all that is evil with capitalism and to others, he is a symbol of of corporate responsibility and someone who uses his money for good. Good or bad, Bill Gates is simply interesting and I'd rather read about him in the tabloids any day.

2. Ross the Intern (aka Ross Mathews): I think Ross the Intern is hilarious! He's that completely spastic intern that Jay Leno has embraced on The Tonight Show. You can view some of his clips on the Ross the Intern Myspace page. He battles alligators with the late Steve Irwin. He fights fires while flirting with firemen. He tries his hand at being a weatherman. He's hilarious and outrageous. There's a reason the E! Network voted him as one of the 30 most outrageous celebrities.

3. Al Gore: Who knew he would actually be so ambitious and interesting after losing the presidential election? Here's a man who seems to really be trying to spend his life doing good in the world the best way he knows how and it's refreshing to watch him. He cares about what he's doing and it really seems like he's making a difference with all of the work he's done regarding global warming and the environment. He gives a ridiculous number of presentations, produced a great documentary and book. He has spoken in front of congress. He's just great.
