 YouTube, the Web site that made a chubby guy with headphones a star, seems to be bored with making the Chocolate Rain singers of the world into pseudo-celebs.
It is being reported that the video Web site owned by Google is closing in on a deal with a roster of real celebrities. Like the ones I hang out with, not some grown man who wears a Tron costume.
The William Morris Agency, home of Denzel Washington and Clint Eastwood, and YouTube are rumored to be closing in on a deal. The language of the deal is boring , so I'll just say this: look for stars really big f'n stars to be appearing on the pages of YouTube very soon.
Chocolate Rain got 33 million views, imagine if it was WMA client Bill Cosby singing that tune how many people would have wasted four minutes of their work day watching that.
I'm hoping that this Paul Blart thing can boost the economy by increasing the sales of Segways. You remember the Segway, the vehicle that was going to eliminate walking.
Yeah, well that didn't really happen. I'm still walking, you're probably still walking. According to Wikipedia, as of 2006, only 23,500 Segways have been purchased.
At $4,000 a pop , a couple Segway sales here and there from one of the millions of Paul Blart viewers would really get this economy going in the right direction.
