One question has plagued me all night:� Why does Courtney
Love have a biographer?
The storm last night knocked out the digital cable program
listings.� So I was mindlessly flipping
through channels and ended up watching some of the Courtney Love True Hollywood
Story.� There was a woman on there that
was described as Ms. Love�s
biographer.� This intrigued me, why on
earth would she need a biographer?� Who
wants to read that?
Stranger still, a cursory internet search did not produce a
published book.� So what is this woman
doing?� Has she made a career of
profiling CL for entertainment biopics?� What, exactly, is the demand for that?� It�s not like CL is that big of a
celebrity.� So once she has done True Hollywood Story: Courtney Love, Courtney Love: Behind
the Music, and possibly Biography! Courtney Love�what would she do all day?� I�m pretty sure they won�t be making It�s Good to Be�Courtney Love as it is clearly not good to be Courtney
Love.
We all have heard from John
Ritter�s biographer who had his day in the
sun after JR died.� Still, I kind of
pictured that the JR biographer had a day job; he just chronicled the madcap
misunderstanding of Three�s Company at night.�
The CL biographer might also have a day job.� Or, perhaps, she is hedging her bets on
several B grade stars.� She may also be
the authority on LaToya
Jackson and Andrew
�The Diceman� Clay.�
I guess it just strikes me as amusing that Courtney
Love, who herself is famous for being
famous, has hangers on.� �And it certainly opens up career possibilities
if biographers do not actually have to write biographies.� I should start thinking of low level stars to
profile.� Gary Coleman and Emmanuel Lewis?� Menudo?� Those have probably
been done.� I could be the utmost
authority on Small Wonder (that horrid 80s TV show about a daughter that was a
robot).� I just
checked, that�s taken already.
I�ll need to think about this some more.
