"Famous" LiveJournals. Apparently, there's a whole mini-culture of people keeping LiveJournals, playing the parts of celebrities. Welcome to a strange world where Celine Dion complains that "it's actually pathetic when Mariah updates more than I do", and celebrities as varied as Tom Cruise ("if you haven't seen my new look for my new movie, let me warn you, it involves a grayish flat top and a little more bulk than I normally carry") and Fiona Apple ("ok ladies of Lilith, Sarah, Alanis and i have JUST finished creating the must_be_lilith community") list each other as friends. A little creepy, but not enough to cover up the somewhat perverse entertainment value drawn from watching someone so involved in another person.

  • One of my favorites...well written back in the day (about two years back?)...was the Pitt Stop. Written by brad pitt (not really); lost of drugs and funny times.
  • Good links. The thing that struck me the most? Famous people are as boring as the rest of us.
  • My personal favorite: Kim Jong Il (the illmatic)'s Journal
  • Is there one by Turmenbashi?
  • Heh, I think my favorite one, based on concept alone, is the one by Erin, "Jesse McCartney from Dreamstreet's little brother's babysitter". This woman is two degrees of seperation from someone I've never heard of in a group I've never heard of. How did someone even think of portraying this person? I wonder if Carrot Top's stunt double's sister's gynecologist has a LiveJournal.
  • I loved the Pitt Stop ones. A sample of the late, lamented diaryland entries. (before his lawyers put the kibosh on it) oh yeah, i called my mom this morning to tell her somebody stole my bong. "do you really think this is something a mother wants to hear," she asked me. i had to think about it for a second because i'm not a mom. "i guess not," i said sheepishly. Classic! =)
  • mandyman: The Illmatic is funny as hell...I just wish he would come back and update. If you're reading, Dear Leader, we miss you!
  • In a similar vein... if you're a fan of the Unicorns then you have to check out some Unicorns fan fic: http://www.livejournal.com/users/the_uniporn/
  • Frosted - thats just wrong on soooo many levels
  • I'm a jerk. I didn't even finish reading the link before I was off and running, searching for David Beckham. Well, I found him. Sorta.:((((( I'm going to count this as a confessional. One must admit their weaknesses if they are to overcome them.
  • Dammit! I've totally forgotten to update Noam's LJ for, liek, ages. Hmmm. I may rectify that this evening...
  • flashboy, that's wonderful.
  • Damn you, flashboy - update that now.
