Britney Spears Super Fan Chris Crocker gets own Reality Show

Authored by Scott Goldberg on September 19, 2007 - 4:48am.
Followig a YouTube hit, Chris Crocker, Britney Spears Super Fan, is getting his own showChris Crocker went nuts on YouTube following the Britney Spears debacle at the Video Music Awards, and 8 million people watched (you can see the clip here). Now reality television producer 44 Blue Productions has contracted with Crocker on a development deal, only the latest example of the power of YouTube to create instant celebrity. The show will be a docusoap in the vein of MTV’s The Hills and Laguna Beach, and will follow the 19-year-old Crocker's life in Tennesse, where he lives with his grandparents.


“Chris first got on our radar a year ago,” said 44 Blue co-founder Rasha Drachkovitch.


Crocker had been a web hit before the tear-filled Britney rant, having produced many popular videos on MySpace.


"It's going to pretty much be the 'Chris Crocker experience,'" Drachkovitch said. "We consider him a rebel character that people will find interesting. He's going to be a TV star."


Crocker’s commentary on the reaction to Spears’ VMA performance even found mainstream attention on Fox News. The crew made fun of the video, and Crocker responded with one of his own (see it here).  You're not alone if the clip is an eerie reminder of Silence of the Lambs.


Crocker also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and his Britney rant was spoofed by Seth Green (watch the clip here).

o god, another idiot on tv

chris crocker

My son remembers Chris from school and he was picked on all the time. So he is right when he tells about what he went through. He has found a gimmick and may do very well with it. I hope he keeps it all in perspective, though. He is certainly "out there", isn't he?

this makes me want to puke

this makes me want to puke

: )

Chris Crocker is absolutely amazing and I support him 100% on what he is doing. His reality show will be a hit, and I'm looking forward to watching every episode.

My God, how can you say such

My God, how can you say such a thing? Chris Crocker is the LAST thing we need on TV. Can you imagine kids trying to ACT like that freak?! It makes me sick just thinking about it! Do we really want his horrid views woven into America's already tainted moral fiber? I think not.

ill watch it everyday

ill watch it everyday

why?

what has become of mtv? where has the music gone. they are choosing to put this weirdo on tv, thats just insane.

I think its great

im going to be Chris Cocker's assistant. I'm with chris 100% funny person. 10 million people wouldnt view something if it wasnt worth watching. thanks Chris cant want for the show to start. and no im not gay.

bullshit!!!

ALL THOSE PEOPLE WAS WATCHING HIS VID CUZ HE IS SO PHATETIC THAT ITS FUNNY!! CHRISCROCKER HAVE NO TALENT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE A TV SHOW!!!!

i love chriscrocker. I think

i love chriscrocker. I think he is entertaining and right in telling everybody what his life is like as he got quite badly bullied in school and he has bounced back and doing great i just hope he doesn't get too big a head about the whole thing as people are beginning to see that they can get through anything and become anything they want to thanks to him but if he does not keep things in perspective then all of those young people he has given a little bit of inspiration to will be totally lost .

"It's going to pretty much

"It's going to pretty much be the 'Chris Crocker experience,'" Drachkovitch said. "We consider him a rebel character that people will find interesting. He's going to be a TV star." I'm not sure if they did their demgraphic research really well, but most people don't watch Chris because hes interesting, they watch him because he's really stupid. I guess it's interesting to watcha stupid person, but it's a negative connotation.

Haters YOU made the TV show possible. He wins you lost.

Every single person that has something negative to say about Chris you should really consider not wasting your time trying to tear him down. When you do, all it does is build him up and give him ratings and in the end HE WINS because of you. The best thing you can do if you don’t like him, is not give him ANY of your attention or time period. Don’t say or write anything about him because the more attention you bring to him the more people who don’t know will want to know what the deal is with this person. That goes with anyone you don't like, not just Chris. Never give them ANY of your time or attention. Thanks to all you "haters" out there he has now landed his own TV show because too many people gave him too much of there valuable time and attention. Doesn’t matter that most of it was negative and or hate. That negativity paved the way for others in show business to use him as a rating boat to ride on for awhile till the next new thing controversial person comes along and well you helped him win in the end weather you want to except that or not. Eminem was the same way, it was mostly haters that paved the way for him to have the grand fan base and riches in the end that he has in show business today. And HE ultimately has had the laugh thanks to all those haters. Back to Chris though, anyone who can sit and say that what he said about peoples personality being only presentation and people on the inside are fake, with what he said for the most part that statement is true. Not all, but most people are, and if you couldn’t except that then what it comes down to one, your not a very open minded person at all to reality. Or 2 when he said that, those that were watching and or listening are guilty of being that type of person for real themselves, and that’s why it got under their skin. I will not say "ALL people" are that way like he claims, but you cant deny that there are so many people out there that are that way for real and its is a fact. Especially in show business FOR REAL. If your smart you will take the educational information I have written here and share it with everyone you know that HATES or dislikes Chris or anyone else in SHOWBUSINESS. This is how to help BEAT them if you don’t like them even before they get a deal of any kind nationally. I am not posting any personal information trying to use this to gain any popularity for myself, because in doing that, well that would be used to say that I had a true hidden agenda in bringing all this up. And that hidden agenda would be me trying to get attention put on me. I have no hidden agenda and I am being 100% real about it. I am doing this because so many people complain there is a problem especially in show business and without knowing or because they are plain stupid help the problem get so much bigger and worse than it has to be or would be if they just leave it alone and or don’t draw any more attention to it. And one other thing when a person is IN show business if you don’t like them and they are on radio and or TV the BEST way to hurt them is to Turn them OFF and don’t listen and or watch.
