Lauren Conrad, Unclear on the Fame Concept

Reality television star and “fashion designer” Lauren Conrad recently whined to L.A. Direct Magazine about how hard it is to be marginally famous:

“I always say this isn’t what I signed up for. I thought I signed up for a one-episode documentary.”

Seriously, who would make a documentary about Laguna Beach teens? Has she ever seen an honest-to-goodness documentary film before? Other than An Inconvenient Truth, if only because of the L.A. social stigma associated with not seeing it.

Anyway, she could have derived from the show’s title Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County that it might have been a reality ripoff of The O.C. (which remains the best show ever to be broadcast on television, other than Gossip Girl).

And I’m sure it was purely accidental that L.C. pursued her own spin-off to show her cruising around Hollywood in her Benz convertible. The Hills has made her just loads of cash — enough that she didn’t have to ask her dad for the downpayment on her new $2.5-million house in Hollywood.

And don’t forget the Lauren Conrad Collection fashion line she certainly in no way deserves. It just kills me that she charges that much for jersey.

Surely it’s not just me who sees that even if she didn’t “sign up for this,” she’s certainly milked it in every way she knows how.

Pamela Anderson Loves Animals Almost As Much As She Loves $$$

Pammy has been in Australia for the last few weeks, promoting her appearance on their version of Big Brother tonight. (Or tomorrow, or yesterday, or whichever day it is down there.) Remember last week, when she was doing an Australian radio interview and called Jessica Simpson “a bitch and a whore” for wearing a “Real Girls Eat Meat” t-shirt? She was promoting this Big Brother deal.

But hey, guess what one of the sponsors the main sponsor of the show is? KFC! And guess what ol’ PETA Pam is doing about it? According to the Brisbaine Times:

Earlier today the actress, best known for her role as CJ in the hit ’90s television show Baywatch, spoke out against Big Brother sponsor KFC.

Anderson attacked the fast-food giant’s treatment of chickens through animal-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with which she is involved.

Tomorrow, she plans to protest in person at a Gold Coast outlet, where she will distribute copies of an information video believed to highlight the alleged mistreatment of chickens by KFC’s suppliers, including in Australia.

Wow, protesting your own show? What high ethical standards! But, you may be wondering, why in the world would the drumstick-denouncing diva agree to appear on the show in the first place, if it’s being sponsored by such an “evil” corporation?

Anderson fronted a press conference this afternoon, admitting she was paid a “huge” sum to enter the Gold Coast house tonight as a special guest…

She refused to say exactly how much money she would pocket for three days’ work, but said her pay cheque was one of the main reasons she agreed to the cameo.

“(It’s) huge… a lot. Much more than I’m worth.”

That doesn’t really narrow it down, does it? I’ve got much more than she’s worth in the cushions of my couch. They should have asked, “Well, how many huge $10,000 leather purses could you buy with it?”

Hand out all the videos you want, Pam. Just try not to think about why it is you have so much free time to do so. Heh, I just told her not to think, that’s funny…

P.S. Deceiver reader Katherine asks:  “How could Pamela Anderson be totally unaware that KFC is a sponsor? Didn’t she have to sign something to be on the show? Funny.” Normally I wouldn’t question Pam’s ignorance on any subject, but yeah, that does sound unlikely.

P.P.S. Must be seen to be believed. Well. Not that it’s all that unbelievable. If you’ve ever wondered how Pam tips her security staff… Huh-huh-huh, “tip,” “staff,” hhhhhuh-huh-huh.
