Bookslut Contemplates Celebrity

Jessa Crispin: “Celebrity is a weird gig. It used to be the place of well scrubbed, heavily managed stars. Now the barriers are down, anyone can be famous for a little while if they are OK with being outrageously idiotic, and people confuse notoriety with fame … Yet it’s still a game everyone wants in on. People are desperate to be torn to shreds by the masses.”
