Report: Britney-crazed YouTuber may get a TV deal. Say it ain't so
It is a truth universally acknowledged that one-time pop darling Britney Spears' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month was a total and utter trainwreck.
Chris Crocker's 'Britney manifesto'
(Credit: YouTube)But, as viral video fans soon learned, some crazy guy with a YouTube account didn't agree. He promptly put up a clip of questionable sanity in which he lay in bed, sobbing, begging us haters to "Leave Britney Alone." The video has racked up nearly 8 million views on YouTube, reaching a degree of overkill that's made many of us hope the buzz will fade away quickly or give way to some other irritating pop-culture sensation.
But don't hold your breath. That impassioned young fellow is Chris Crocker, a 19-year-old from Tennessee whose 15 minutes (seconds?) of fame just might not quite be over: Variety is reporting that a television production company, 44 Blue Productions, has inked a deal with him for a potential TV show. It's not totally serendipitous, as the entertainment site explained that Crocker has actually had a sizeable MySpace following for some time now, and that he's been on 44 Blue's radar for almost a year.
"(The show is) going to pretty much be the 'Chris Crocker experience,'" 44 Blue co-founder Rasha Drachkovitch told Variety. "We consider him a rebel character that people will find interesting. He's going to be a TV star." In other words, they're catering to the Perez Hilton demographic.
Is nothing sacred anymore?

become hopelessly degenerate, narcissistic, egregious,offensive,
and sucks badly. But so what. In twenty years the USA will no
longer exist anyway. It will have been splintered into ethnic
conclaves with no language or cultural ties to each other. The
American era is over and this crap proves it.
"This country needs to be totally destroyed".. didn't see that coming at all.
whining 'fanatics'? I will be sure to boycott any media outlet who
gives this joke de jour the national spotlight even for a moment.
Youtube is one thing, but don't give the whiner's of the world a
platform to cry from.... People are pathetic and need to get a life if
you spend time fixated on clowns like Chris...Or is it Christine....
He/She is way too androgenous for me to figure it out...
his own show!! That video was probably the most annoying thing
I've seen since the Anna Nicole show was on, reality TV has gone
too far!!
The mere fact that you did see his video means $$$ to any production company.
If you think something is a waste of time, don't click on it. Any publicity is good publicity these days, thus, he gets a deal.
Watching the Ana Nicole show on E! was equally as entertaining - perhaps Paris Hilton's TV show - the Paula Abdul show -- they are all insight into someone's life who may be just a bit for interesting than ours.
We often find humor in other's drama - have you ever watched Springer?
So, just 'leave him alone' - let him enjoy a career about as long as that of many one-hit wonders.
