"You don't own a TV? Then what's all your furniture pointed at?" - Joey, Friends

People who smugly humble-brag about not owning TVs at cocktail parties, you are not alone. Below, a list of your celebrity peers who have likely never seen an episode of Hoarders or a "Justice For All" Law & Order marathon over Fourth of July weekend. We don't know how you do it.
