Dooood! What the? Okay, check this out. So this author Rachel Cusk writes a book about how being famous can hide who you really are. And the book is called 'Life of M', where M is just a stand in for any celebrity you know. Listen, I am telling you, it's like living on the BQE during rush hour. You're stuck in traffic, can't see anything, and there's honking all around. You kidding me, fame is like that, only worse. It's like being stuck in a car with no windows, and the radio's blasting someone else's life story. So this book is basically saying that being a big star is like being trapped in a giant spotlight, where the light is so bright you can't even see yourself. Duuude... What the. (sigh)
