Celebrity

Jose made a pertinent observation about my last post, and what it prematurely suggested. Unseemly or not, it was just something that was in my mind.

I didn't know they had such good vittles at the Literati Cafe. My fruit bowl had watermelon, pineapple, cantaloupe, honeydew, grapes, and strawberries. Ambrosia!

Emily and I were tooling around the Century City shopping center again and I marveled at how much airplay Jessica Simpson was getting in the music loop. Everywhere I turned there was some holiday carol she recorded being blasted. We then saw Bob Saget walk by ("What's Danny Tanner doing here?") and then began contemplating what it means to be on Hollywood's D-list. I firmly concluded that in the spectrum of celebrity, there were four tiers and where one fell depended on the 1) quality of their work, 2) level of wealth, 3) respect in the industry, and 4) amount of fame. Based on this four-part test, sorry, Bob, you are like, totally D-list. I posited Carmen Electra as a good example of C-list, Ashlee Simpson as a good example of B-list, and grudgingly, Jessica Simpson as a good example of A-list. The reality is, holiday music and face time on magazines is irrefutable evidence that you have arrived.

Got probs with my analysis? Bring it to me. I consider the forum for discussion open.
