I don't think that just because someone is on TV promoting themselves with confidence that they are a narcissist. Firstly, they are actors, so I assume most of the time they are putting on a persona, and most likely reading a script that one of their handlers has given them. If you're looking for the manipulating hands, it would be the machines behind the actors/musicians. Of course, fame-fueled jobs do attract narcissists, but I think you have to be at a really high level for people to put up with you behaving poorly, and in fact I would say that I think most famous actors/musicians are probably push-overs who do whatever is told of them. This is not typical behavior of a narcissist.
As a speculative aside, if you want to find the person most likely to have a PD on The Talk, I'd say it's Sharon Osbourne. She's been Ozzy's handler for most of his career (once the torch was passed from her father, his original manager). He's completely an extension of her personality at this point (narcissistic traits). But again, just speculation. I don't actually watch the show.
