You all probably have seen the "Leave Britney along" Youtube video. In fact, it got so many hits that it was broadcast on channels such as E! and FOX (he even got a MyspaceTV). But in case you have never seen the video (I highly recommend it, it's hilarious), it is about fanatic Britney fan who sobs and screams through a 2 minutes monologue about leaving Britney alone. Oh yeah, don't be fooled about the fact that the fan is a girl like I did- IT'S A GUY. He never revealed his real name (he is scared of the vicious critics), but he goes by the name Chris Crocker. If the video hasn't creep you out enough already, the guy shot all of his documentary videos in his grandparent's bedroom.
When CNN interviewed Crocker about his intension of the making of his video, he showed up in his black and pink tight shirt with black eyeliner and mascara.
But don't make fun of the guy just yet; he has it tough too. Growing up in a small town in Tennessee hiding the fact that he's gay is no picnic. It all started when he was in kindergarten he brought a Barbie doll for show-and-tell. Crocker's grandparents don't approve of his behavior either. The grandmother saw his videos and was outraged by his 'acting' skills. In one video, Crocker even had to imitate his Christian grandmother by telling the world that she loves his grandson, but in reality, she is ferocious about him. The family has it tough living in their hometown too. Crocker's grandparents cannot even attend church anymore because of this and he feels horrible about it.
So why would fan go this far to defend a pop star?
It's probably that he is just one of those hardcore dying fan who has a shrine of Britney in his bedroom and has a daily worshiping hour, or, what he really want all along is enough attention that gets him a deal with a reality TV show and start his own show, Complaining with Chris Crocker. Go figure.
After rambling about Chris Crocker, I have to admit that he got guts. And in an awkward way, I actually kind of admire him for his action. I really hope this reckless Britney guy will go far in his acting career.
If you ever find yourself bored, watch the rest of his videos. Go knock yourself out.
