Miss Fine Blogthang would like you to think that she resisted the temptation, but of course she did nothing of the sort.
Though I’m not sure I see any sort of connection to J.D. Salinger, unless one wants to posit that extreme reclusiveness is one solution to living in a celebrity-drenched age—or that being a hermit is the opposite of being a fame-whore. Personally, I believe that they are opposite sides of the same coin.
Naturally, that is one of the reasons that I periodically get into squabbles with other bloggers, and with readers, who believe that actors and singers are “fair game” for public mockery because they have widespread name-recognition and make lots of money.
In fact, a lot of entertainers have to live extremely reclusive lives just to avoid getting endlessly hassled on the streets by paparazzi and misguided fans. It’s no way to live, and I believe that it would take many millions to make it worthwhile to me. (And that’s not even addressing the physically demanding 12-hour shoots, which sound like a freakin’ nightmare for some productions.)
