THE latest edition of Celebrity Stars In Your Eyes, on TV was, to say the least, poor.

Who cooked up this idea? It seems to me like a case of jobs for the boys.

Are we supposed to accept these acts are good because the personalities are well known in their various fields? This country is brimming with talent and people seeking to make inroads into show business. To narrow down the field to already-famous faces, who may be low on talent, seems a tragedy. Did they go through the same auditions that other contestants face in whittling down the numbers? I doubt it.

The original idea was okay. There is a need to show off people from all walks of life who wish to take the opportunity offered, but the 'Celebrity Stars' on TV at the moment are failing to twinkle.
