Celebrities using MySpace

Nicole Richie posted this on her MySpace blog yesterday. Its no longer up though. :

Subject: X-RAY

BLIND ITEM:
What 35 year old raisin face whispers her order of 3 peices of asparagus for dinner at Chateau everynight, and hides her deathly disorder by pointing the finger at me, and used her last paycheck I wrote her to pay for a publisist instead of a nutritionist?
HINT: Her nickname is lettucecup...

As we all know, the whole celebutante craze is based on these girls who are basically famous for doing nothing particular at all. Of course, nothing other than creating drama and partying. Essentially.

So the interesting thing lately about Nicole Richie is that any time recently that she has been criticized for her below ageverage weight, she has posted a personal response on her blog. It is more than likely that this is really her responding rather than her people because, well I mean, would people she hired respond through a blog that is written like that? Probably not. By the way, this blog is about her old stylist Rachel Zoe that she just supposedly fired last week. APparently it was rumored that Zoe encouraged the dramatic weightloss in Richie. Other clients of Zoes include Mischa Barton and other underweight clients.

I think that its interesting that these celebutantes are taking full advantage of social networks to seemingly reach out to their fanbase, thus creating an even more loyal following. Its a smart publicity move to have their name be everywhere, even in a place where anyone can join. It makes them have an accessible image that appeals to the masses.

But at what point is too much too much. These girls are overexposed. Nothing is left to the imagination. Yet the complain about the paparazzi ollowing them and everyone making things up about them. Ironically, most of the time they are films doing the same acts they deny. Because someone is always watching. And because someone is always watching, they become more popular. As their celeb status grows, the less information that is withheld. Personally, I wonder how long these girls can maintain their status by doing nothing of significance.

Not to mention, that as these girls expose more and more ridiculous aspects of their lives, the more people because desensitized to the fact that their behavior is kind of ridiculous and not the norm. Are we going to have a bunch of nobodies wanting to be somebody simply because Paris Hilton did it? Obviously these girls come from well known families, but I wonder if we will reach a point in society where we will reward social climbers to the extent that we reward these celebutantes. HM.....
