If Krysdol and TNT can do it, why can't I?

I never mentioned this on this site before, but my good friends Krysdol and TNT (He Knows Drama.) have this small habit of famewhoring--that is, they always seek out (pseudo)famous celebrities. I allow them their starf*cking, because it amuses me. Plus, what else is there to do in Hawai'i and NYC when you're a member of the working class?
The best part is that Krysdol and TNT try and outdo eachother with who's met the most famous person. For instance, when Krysdol mentioned that she drunkenly made out with a moderately famous actor from the show Lost and the fine feature film The Rules of Attraction, TNT refused to believe it.
I have a feeling he was jealous.
Likewise, when TNT told me he met the rape-accused son of a famous political dynasty for drinks at an NYC bar, Krysdol refused to believe it.
When Krysdol told me she met her one true on-screen love, I was ecstatic.
TNT however, was not.
I think it's all funny.
Strangely, I think if I lived in a locale where celebs frolicked among us plebians, i'd be something of a starf*cker, too. Unfortunately for me, South Texas isn't exactly the place to find a whole lot of celebrities who aren't Freddy Fender and Farah Fawcett. Which is why when Mysti (who is a DJ in a major metropolitan market) asked me to link to her new pop-counterculture blog, I was more than happy to oblige her.
You see, I live somewhere where B-listers like Lou Diamond Phillips and Dabney Coleman went to high school. For whatever reason celebs with more stature tend to stay away from the Sparkling City by the Sea. Don't ask me why. Maybe they're afraid of being caught dead in a backwater known for elevating Billie Jean (Because Fair is Fair, y'all!) to legendary status than catering to A-List stars. I want to be able to famewhore, too.
Since I can't do that from my current location, I need to find other ways to satisfy my desire to hobknob with celebrities. I thought to myself, 'how can I suck up to b-listers while still living in South Texas?' And then it hit me: I already use the internet as a substitute for friends, why don't I use it to famewhore, too? And what better way to do that than have a friend do all the hard work for me?
See, Mysti is busy trying to get her new radio show syndicated...when she gets it syndicated, stars everywhere will beg to be in her studio. When that happens, I'll be there to bask in celebrity by proxy.
So go there now, make her famous so that I can mooch off her and meet celebrities...
And make Krysdol AND TNT jealous.
