One of my favorite performers on “Sesame Street” in the 1970s and 80s was Alaina Reed (Hall), who played Olivia, Gordon’s sister. She had a wonderful, friendly and warm personality and an absolutely gorgeous singing…

FOFA #756 – Chris Crocker Tells on You
Standard Podcast [1:01:35m]:
Chris Crocker turned to the internet to escape the torment of being chased by gangs of boys at the mall.
The internet helped him connect with the greater world around him when he couldn’t create a gay-straight alliance in his school and he left to be home schooled. To grow up a gay, eccentric and flamboyant teen has never been easy especially in a small conservative town in Tennessee.
If it weren’t for the internet where would Chris Crocker be?
Today Chris is one of the most watched and imitated video bloggers online. His iconic video of himself weeping and imploring the public to “Leave Britney Alone” made him a household name.
Chris’ videos represent the dramatic change we’re seeing in how we create and consume media. Chris’ videos are just as popular as the YouTube Presidential debates or the evening news. For millions of people everywhere, his opinion matters.
Despite this, old media companies are threatened by Chris popularity because of his bold desire to express himself at any cost. They can’t control him and he doesn’t need them.
It’s easy to question the authenticity of Chris’ videos because he’s just that good. He’s eerily in touch with his dark emotions and quickly cuts through the hypocrisy of the “haters” with his wit and words.
“Leave Britney Alone” proves to be one of the most emotionally over the top videos I’ve ever seen online. I believe Chris cried not so much for Britney Spears but rather to express the pain and suffering he endured having gone through the hell of homophobia as a teenager. In many ways, Chris Crocker represents the tortured gay youth who fought back and lived.
Chris Crocker really is a huge fan of Britney Spears, even though she has conservative leanings and a complete lack of interest in gay rights of any kind. Remember, she was FOR the War in Iraq and said in many interviews that we should “stand by our President” despite his reckless policies.
Chris sees something bigger inside of Britney. He believes her to be a liberal person trapped by the conservative world around her.
People can’t leave Britney alone or any other tragic celebrity for that matter because they help us cope with our everyday problems. When we see someone richer, more attractive and more powerful than us struggling to hold on, it makes it easy to come to peace with our place in the world.
On today’s show Chris Crocker joins us to talk in-depth about his popular video blog, his passion for following people’s horoscope and how he may team up with Puerto Rican TV astrologer Walter Mercado to reach a hip, young new audience. We also talk with Chris about how he personally deals with the vicious hate online and offline, what he thinks of all those parody videos of his work and where in Los Angeles you should hang out if you want to hook up with Chris.
And we put to rest the rumors surrounding Chris’ HIV/AIDS conspiracy as a government biological weapon gone wrong and being vilified for simply being himself and being good at it!

FOFA #480 – The Unsinkable Paula Poundstone
Standard Podcast:
When every single aspect of your life gets scrutinized by the media and the law, the pressure can sometimes be intense. It is even more so when you are an unconventional woman with mainstream appeal.
When Paula Poundstone was arrested in 2001 for drunk driving and child endangerment, she temporarily lost custody of her adopted children, went into a deep depression and was forced by the courts to go to Alcoholics Anonymous on national television.
Not one to brush anything under the carpet, Paula Poundstone took her personal and legal struggles that she endured under the glare of the media and put it to work in her courageous stand-up act.
Today, the unsinkable Paula Poundstone lives happily in her home in Southern California with her three kids, eleven cats, two rabbits, two tadpoles, a lizard and one big dog.
In her new book “There’s Nothing in This Book I Meant To Say” Poundstone shares her experiences contrasted with zesty biographies of Joan of Arc, Abraham Lincoln and Ludwig van Beethoven, to name a few.
Join us as we talk about the U.S. legal system, being a single parent, the legacy of Robin Williams, asexuality, and what celebrity would Paula Poundstone date if they asked.
You have the right to remain fabulous on the Feast of Fools!
