Spotted?

Although I try to pay attention to current events, I’m not always up-to-date on my celebrity news. As a result, I could be face-to-face with someone famous and, unless somebody points it out to me, I would most likely have no idea. Knowing this, I decided to publish ‘celebrity’ spottings at Sundance Film Festival in a Gossip Girl/TMZ fashion.

 

Thanks to social media, I didn’t need a camera crew or sponsors, just a camera phone and an Instagram account. My first star sighting and Instagram post, ‘Spotted: Lassie.’ Second sighting and post, ‘Spotted: Buffalo Bill.’ “You should just keep spotting people, and animals, who look like dead celebrities,” YumYummy advised. “Good idea. I’ll need some help though because I recognize very few people,” I said and asked, “How about I just take pictures and you tell me who they look like?” “Done,” she replied.

 

The spottings and postings continued – we saw Billy Ray Cyrus, Baby Agassi, Bret McKenzie, The Kardassians, Lil’ Kim, Nicki Minaj, a Ninja, Drag Queens and paparazzi. Truth be told, we really only saw Bret McKenzie, Drag Queens and paparazzi. Thus, like all of those other well followed gossip rags, we spread trivial misinformation with a little bit of truth. At the same time, the hashtag, #imverypopularoninstagram, created by Tree and I finally became a reality with my Instagram followers more than doubling (growing from seven followers to 15) thanks to people’s interest in celebrities. Spotted: A new favorite pastime.
