As someone who derides celebrity culture and mocks his girlfriend for occasionally picking up a copy of US Weekly, naturally I am fascinated by the mechanics of fame. Stephen Fry, famous British actor, has a new blog in which he has inscribed a fascinating essay — or ‘blessay’ as he prefers, a pun upon the French word for ‘wound’ — on fame from multiple perspectives: in it, at it, up to one’s neck in it and apart from it. As he rattles off the standard approaches fans make to celebs, I cringe at my own remembered fandom. But at least I was able to invite Brian Eno to Share with a straight back.
