Review of “Paris Hilton Inc.: The Selling of Celebrity” (2007)
On Dennis Miller Live in 1996, Jason Alexander said, “My favourite story about fame and how psychotic people get about it, uh, I once went to speak at a school and there was a 16-year-old girl—now I think 16 is fairly advanced on the maturity level—and the girl says: ‘You know what, I don’t care what I do, I just want to be famous.’ And I thought, y’know, I should really just shoot her in the head, because it would serve two things: It would make her famous, as the girl that Jason Alexander shot in the head, and it would, y’know, spare the world of the banality of the rest of her life.”
