I just love British actors. However been watching a lot of Mexican cinema so I love that too. I hate celebrity culture, especially here in America! We have Kim Kardashina...famous for nothing. I agree she is a beautiful woman but not much in the head!!! Poor kids these days.

I would say:
-Lebanon, Egypt, & the Arab world-Musicians (Nancy Ajram, Hisham Abbas, Samira Saeed)
-UK-Music & Actors (Coldplay, Jude Law, Hugh Grant, the list goes on...)
-Mexico-Musicians (Mana, Luis Miguel, Reik, etc.)
-Italy-Musicians (Eros Ramazzotti, Nek, Laura Pausini, etc.)
-Spain-Musicians (La 5ta Estacion, Alejandro Sanz, David Bisbal, etc.)
-India-Actors (Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Amitabh Bhachan, etc.)

Argentina has his owns Justin Biever, but the Argentinian sing better. This is one senseless "baby, baby, baby":



nonetheless, the best Argentine bands are not pop icons. They are mostly unknown independent bands. As example, I like this unknown argentine band:



Argentina conserves a bunch of very good bands. Do you want to know?
