Dr. Drew Pinsky confirms, as a demographic group, actors and entertainers have more narcissistic tendencies than the rest of us: prone to narcissistic personality disorder. Almost every celebrity has a self-inflated ego which make them believe they are a gift to the rest of us. According to actor Gene Wilder, celebrities started being narcissistic right under the roof of their parents (dysfunctional family): they had to force their ways to many roles to earn their parents’ attention. They eventually seek for more admiration outside the home via same role switching behavior.

An Egocentric or someone who loves to look at themselves/photograph themselves is not the only definition of a Narcissist. Narcissist’s have NO REGARD for anyone else except them – literally. They could care less if they hurt someone, belittle them, etc. They are first class users in every way, shape & form. I would hate to think that the people mentioned above are truly Narcissist’s. Maybe a better word for them would be Self-Absorbed or Conceited .. but when one says Narcissist – this would be along the lines of an “L.Ron Hubbard or David Koresh”. I don’t know – just saying.
