The Apocalypse Cometh: Chris Crocker Inks TV Deal
by Free Britney at .Next thing you know, the seas will start boiling, pigs will fly, Heidi Montag will stop begging for attention and OJ Simpson will be elected President.
The above scenarios don't seem all that far fetched now that Chris Crocker, the 19-year-old Tennessean and MySpace/YouTube sensation, has a TV deal.
That's right, the whiny one, whose tearful plea to "Leave Britney Alone" rocked YouTube the week after the Britney Spears' VMA implosion has signed a deal to develop his own show with reality-TV producer 44 Blue Productions.
According to Variety, the company's plan is to build a new "documentary-soap" around the life of Chris Crocker. "It's pretty much going to be 'the Chris Crocker experience,'" 44 Blue's president tells the publication. "We consider him a rebel character that people find interesting. He's going to be a TV star."
Rebel? We could think of some other words to describe Chris Crocker, but we'll let this one pass. Such absurdity speaks for itself, after all. Only in America.
Left: Britney Spears melts down at the VMAs. Right: Chris Crocker pleads for people to leave Britney alone... and scores his own reality TV show out of it.
Since his tirade against the mean celebrity gossip world, Crocker has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and his Britney rant was spoofed by Seth Green.

@crocker is pathetic, But he believes none of that BS in the videos as he's already made new videos explaining that. Again, his whole I love Britney more than everything, was not to be taken seriously. People like you are pathetic. Get a life. How do I know you don't have one? Because anyone with a life wouldn't waste their time doing what your doing. Yes, some people watch vids during their entertainment time, but you apparently look for things to bash to help deal with your blatant homophobia. Your reaction is that of a scared person. Get over it!
I do think he is outrageous and much more fun than any other youtube personality currently on the site. The reality of his situation, a gay boy in a homophobic town, is also compelling. However, he has been treated as the "flavor of the day" for the Britney video and won't be given the treatment needed to create a "rebel" character. That would require something other than a dying medium, the reality show. His 15 seconds are up.
I lvoe this guy. He is completely entertaining in a perfectly bizarre way that is so 2007. I think he is destined to become as much of a household name as Howard Stern.. When he speaks, people just hang on his every ridiculous word. Love him!
