Celeb designers? Why should we care?

So what gives just any celeb the right to start designing clothing? Leave it to the professionals and those that have had real training. Leave it to those that work hard every day and pay attention to detail, when designing. I'm getting sick of seeing all these celebs starting their own clothing line, or accessory line. This goes for singing and acting as well. It is all so stupid in my opinion. Any thoughts?

How amazing does she look?! It's hard to believe that she doesn't even have a stylist. Some of my other favorites:
