Famous People

[A7inchPhildo]

I would like to stipulate that when I said 'celebraties' I didn't mean 'celebrity authors' nor did I mean 'Lit Authors" as there are a lot of peopole on the lit boards who don't write or who don't post stories. I didn't even just mean the writer's board, but all of the boards, playground (why not) GB, BDSM, Gay and Lesbian Chatter, ect....

That's right and how could you ever know?

Lit is a great excape for many. I guess you could only look to see who posts at all times of the day either they are unemployed or well to do.

Not likely they will say hey I am "_____" just like you do not say who you are. Do you sweets?

Now if it was OZZY it would be easy just look for the slow studder.

No hun, I am just a Phildo having fun!

Well I know of one famous Canadian, but I guess that doesn't really count?

Nonetheless Nathalie Portman PLEASE, PLEASE speak up.

And I don't beg for just anyone

Aw, Charley. She's shacked up with a muy hombre Mexicano, a spicy dish named Gael Garcia Bernal (starred in Y tu Mama Tambien and Amores Perros, both superb films, para las mujeres y hombres).

sympathetically, Perdita

Wait a sec...You said a famous Canadian? Are you sure?

I didn't know Stewart Granger was a writer. Plus, I thought he was dead.

Are you certain this person is not only Canadian, but famous?

 

[Dirt Man]

D'ya think that there are any famous people posting on lit? Maybe Angelina Jolie likes to write Vampire Stories in her spare time and post them on lit and then hang out on the boards. Maybe Christina Agulara likes to see if any "Dirty" stories about her are posted and if they are any good. Maybe Charlie Sheen logs on after his hooker friend leaves. (or while he's waiting for her to show up.)

What do you think?



Are you famous?
(I know that I am )

I find this whole line of questioning irrelevant. Celebrities are no more than people that a lot of other people are aware of for one reason or another. What they do in their private lives gives thousands of phloperotzi (New word meaning idiotic peeping Tom's that get paid for what other people go to jail for.) their only real reason for living. Celebrities are no different than anyone else who comes here. They have the right to their annonymity the same as the rest of us do, and probably appreciate it all the more than we ever could because of their celebrity status. Our inherent freedoms are taken for granted by most of the members here as just basic human rights. If any one of us had to live in the shoes of a celebrity for a year we'd quickly find out just how perilous those freedoms of basic human rights become when ignored by the media entirely. Our own fantasy stories torn apart by the media as if they were real life events in our own lives just because that would make great copy for a headline.

No, I'm not a celebrity, nor have I ever been. Even my published work is under a Nom de plum. Why? Because I like my privacy the same as you do. And really, who cares about an author anyway. They're a dime a dozen. And there in lies the reality, the very truth of what an author's life is. We hold the strings that make the puppet dance, and we make the puppet the celebrity, not ourselves.

Re: Re: Famous People

Well, I agree, and I think maybe you missed my point. The point wasn't to *expose* anyone. The last part was just being cheeky and funny. I've found that if you put out a theory and don't end by asking a silly question, a lot of times, people don't respond to your post- because they feel they have nothing to say.

My point really was that, just as you said, celebrities are people too, no different really than any of us- so why shouldn't they be here too? Some may find it dorky, but I think it's kind of neet to think that I *might* have had an exchange with Charlie Sheen, or Gweneth Paltrow or whoever. And another point to, when we are talking about someone famous- we really don't know that they are *not* in the room- posting or maybe just lurking. Who knows.

The fact that the internet is anonymous is what made me ask the question. It's just meant to be a fun thing to think about- not to destroy anybodies privacy. When you consider the odds, it seems almost unlikely that there is not at least one celeb litizen. -- (Hello Dennis Rodman if your out there- I love you !)

I don't really expect anybody to honestly proclaim "Yeah, I'm Mel Gibson in R/L" The only reason I said that I was a celeb myself is because people used to tell me that I look like Drew Barrymore, "especially around the eyes"

No offense Dirt Man- but lighten up aiight? I'm not out to expose anybody's deep dark porn secrets. Just tossing around a little light speculation on a fun subject matter. At least I didn't start another political thread

I have to admit, Dirt, that this thread is highly irrelevant but no more so that most threads. Have you ever seen anything more irrelevant than three-word stories or the dull thread or some others? Depending on your definition of celebrity, there are probably a couple of celebs who come here to read some smut or even write some. I don't know any and if I did, I wouldn't tell anybody because, like you say, we should respect people's privacy. Like you, I write under a nom de plum, but anybody who really wanted to could locate me from the info I have included in my bio and in my stories and posts and the pic of me. In my case, of course, nobody would want to

Bless you for that.

[curious2c]

This thread has the makings of a story line...somehow. It would be interesting to imagine someone famous and how they would 'cruise' Lit. Would they hang on the GB or the Playground? Would they write poetry or stories? Would they be kinky or pretty tame? Many questions and many thoughts.


I have assumed that somewhere, at least once, someone famous has been here for at least a little bit. Why not?

 

[CharleyH]

CUM ON! You and Gc (who seems not to have a girly clue) . . . completely RUINING my fanatasy - let me live a little why don't you. And hey, every good little straight girl can be turned around just like every good little gay girl

Aw, Charley. She's shacked up with a muy hombre Mexicano, a spicy dish named Gael Garcia Bernal (starred in Y tu Mama Tambien and Amores Perros, both superb films, para las mujeres y hombres).

[CharleyH]

FINE! All famous Canadians are famous Americans unless they're dead! I stand corrected. Canadian and famous seem to contradict themselves - don't they.

Wait a sec...You said a famous Canadian? Are you sure?

I didn't know Stewart Granger was a writer. Plus, I thought he was dead.

Just didn't want you to go too far, hon. Yeah, any girl can be turned, but it may take a while for Nat. Check out Gael (he's rather femme-y in a machismo way ).

bessitos, Perdita

Pretty. He's definitely pretty.

 

[pop_54]

Hmmmmm

Yeah, I'm not really famous either. But I got to thinking that celebraties are people too. And they all have internet. And the most popular thing to do on the net is surf the porn sites. And you can be annonymous. So by shere odds, there has to be a few famous people hiding out on lit, right?

Could we be chatting with JLO and not even know it?

Of course you're famous darling, many, many thousands of people world wide are reading your threads

All we writers here are famous, we're probably better read than some published authors with crappy little books, just that we all prefer to remain anon.

I'm famous locally, all the mothers call in their teenage daughters when I'm about the streets

 

[MNGuy]

I don't want to be famous. As a introvert, I like my anonymity. When I get the NY Times bestseller, I'm going to use a hunky male model on the jacket, with really tiny print thats says 'Not the Author.' But I'll still post or lurk at Lit.

Oh my gosh pops, you are right! I didn't think about it that way. I'm not sure weather to be excited or self conscious I have to start thinking about my image and so forth.

I just want everyone to know, that I'm just the same down to earth girl that I was back when I was just a "nobody" I haven't changed a bit, really. I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

:Air kiss:

I SAID NO GREEN M&M'S!!! NO GREEN M&M'S! IS THAT SO DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND!!!
