"Fame Whore" is So Demeaning; Adrianne Curry Prefers the Term "Celebrity Entrepreneur"

Dear Adrianne Curry:

First off, I want to tell you that you were my favorite all time contestant on “America’s Next Top Model.” It was obvious from the moment you appeared that you were going to win, as you were head and shoulders (and other things, too!) superior to the rest of them. Shannon did not have the personality to be “America’s Next Top Model.” You did. You were more than fierce, you were edgy, like a gritty-I-might-have-a-few-STD’s-big-city-hipster and you deserved to win. I tell you, that first season—your season—really kicked ass.

Is it true that Tyra has a prosthetic leg?

bankslegs.jpgI read that on the Internet somewhere, but her publicist denied it and then Tyra had a special episode on her legs where she proved they were both real and sexy. And then she cried because of all the haters and their lies. I guess that should have put the matter to rest, but ever since I’ve been having these dreams where she gets in a car accident and loses her leg and so I’m thinking maybe my subconscious is picking up on a buried truth or something. Weird, eh?

Do you have any recurring dreams?

I have many.

At any rate, I’m writing to you about your recent break-up with Christopher Knight— the guy who played Peter on “The Brady Bunch” — which you announced on the fifth anniversary of your marriage. Like most people, I’d really been enjoying the Memorial Day weekend, when I heard the news of your separation.

(I like to honor the military by getting high and playing a marathon session of Risk. My strategy is to hunker down in Australia, where I wait for my enemies to turn on one another, then I, like death upon a pale horse, sweep over the world and conquer the little ants who remain. What’s your favorite Risk country?)

Please don’t get me wrong, I am a HUGE fan of you— especially your cutting edge work on Twitter (link NSFW) — but I have to say it was kind of insensitive of you to steal the thunder from the troops like that. I know it was a slow news cycle and you were just being publicity-fierce and hoping to maximize attention. But still, it was their time and they deserved it.

But I still think you’re great.

You have something.

One of the things I like about you is that you married an older man who didn’t really have any sort of a career. What’s the math, here? You’re 28 and he’s 53? A 25 year difference? That’s cool, Adrianne, way cool. Normally, guys that age and in that circumstance have to go to Thailand to find consistent relations with such a lovely, young woman, but you’ve shown that it can happen right here! You’re a hero!

And you know, I always thought that reality shows such as “The Surreal Life,” where you met Christopher, were just crass, publicity machines for bottom-feeding celebrities, but you’ve proven that it’s actually a pretty efficient dating service—like Ashley Madison or Plenty of Fish. It was also cool that you had a Gothic-themed wedding. It was kinky in all the best ways, I believe.

You think outside of the box, like a sexy Leonardo da Vinci.

curryleia.jpgIt’s also admirable that you never really tried to parlay your fame into an acting career or anything “artistic” but chose instead to just be the best damn Maxim girl you could be! Many people think that getting a boob job is just striving to conform to a commercial ideal. That it’s the sort of thing that tends to ruin beauty rather than enhance it. But you pushed all of that stuff aside and just followed your dreams, and that Adrianne, makes you an American legend. You’re a bit of a rebel, I think, and the fact that you’re got a nerd-on for Star Wars, World of Warcraft and Anime, makes you a there’s-a-reason-I’m-single man’s dream girl.

I mean, you really haven’t shown much more than a want for senseless adoration, and I bet all you really like to do is lie around, get high, play video games and Tweet sleazy pictures of yourself to masturbating fans. You would be a stone cold ace at Chat Roulette, and if you ever see a man on there wearing a Rhino mask who has three nipple rings and a tracheotomy scar, well, that’s me, so please say hi!

Anyway, the whole reason I’m writing is that I think I have the perfect guy for you.

His name is Oscar and he’s 41 years-old. He might look a little bit older, I guess, but that vanishes when you see him play Ping-Pong. He’s very, very nimble. He even defeated an Asian at the Community Centre once. He is, like you, a complete freak for Star Wars, World of Warcraft and Hentai Manga, and although he might not like me telling you this, he has always wanted to have a Brady Bunch 3-Way. And yes, with one of the brothers rather than the sisters, whom he thinks boring. (I am imagining, given the various dynamics of age, beauty and opportunity, that you could arrange such a 3-Way.) Oscar, like you, is a free-thinker, and he’s 12 years younger than the Brady you just dumped.

You should also know that Oscar (who is a Team Leader at a well-established box factory up here in Canada) has, like you, some excellent ideas regarding the use of social media (he Tweets ethnic knock-knock jokes) and has some really cool concepts for a couple of reality TV shows involving sexual rehabilitation.

He’s a great guy, Adrianne. Although I know this could be a difficult passage for you, I hope you remain confident, optimistic, fierce and weird, just as you were born to be. I hope you can find it in your heart to give Oscar a chance.

The Australia strategy is for bitches. Real men come out of Africa.

Oscar sounds like a fun guy to hang out with.

Posted by: Fredo at June 3, 2011 12:27 PM

Australia and South America are for noobs and chicks. Africa gives you access to S.A., Europe, and Asia. More borders to guard but more options. I've never seen anybody hold Asia, N.A., or Europe at the beginning of a game.

"I bet all you really like to do is lie around, get high, play video games and Tweet sleazy pictures of yourself to masturbating fans."

Is there really anything else that we, as a people, could ask of her?

Posted by: AmbroseKalifornia at June 3, 2011 12:51 PM

I have always been enamoured of her, mostly for her unashamed nerdiness, but it was the Sybian ride on Howard Stern that sealed her fate as potential stalking material. Yes, I realize that makes me shallow and sleazy and I'm ok with that, as long as she realizes my face would be a good substitute for Howard's little ice-breaker.

When I am the King of Australia in my Risk games I always make it a point to speak with an Aussie accent as this intimidates the men and seduces the ladies.

My mastery of Kamchaka has so far gone unnoticed. It is the key to all Risk strategies.

Oh, Michael Murray, why must you be the BEST writer?

What’s your favorite Risk country?

Ukraine.

I don't have strong feelings toward Adrianne Curry either way. I thought she came off as a complete twit on ANTM, but having worked in reality TV, I know how easy it is to turn contestants into complete twits even before the editing process happens. You put a bunch of people under house arrest with no rules and no access to technology or the outside world until they're done and lots of them just lose their shit (pro tip: if you're ever on a reality show, pack an entire suitcase of books and load up your MP3 player, you'll last longer). Reality TV of the "put 'em in a loft for the duration" variety is very Lord of the Flies in its psychology.

So... I don't know. I kinda just don't much care. I don't think I've ever even seen her reality shows or post-ANTM stuff. Godspeed?

You’re a bit of a rebel, I think, and the fact that you’re got a nerd-on for Star Wars, World of Warcraft and Anime, makes you a there’s-a-reason-I’m-single man’s dream girl.

Wait, what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

No, really. What the fuck? Are we still doing this? This "nerds are sexless losers" bullshit? What the fuck does her liking that stuff have to do with attractiveness? Or with a man being single?

I now remember why I haven't been here in a while. The hypocrisy in the air is too staggering.

Posted by: Vermillion at June 4, 2011 7:49 PM

I....I think it was a joke.

Anyway. It was fun while it lasted, Adrienne. You decided when you met him that you wanted to marry a Brady and by golly, you did! And now it's time to set other high goals for yourself. I'd keep fighting Tyra if I were you.

Posted by: Figgy at June 6, 2011 12:49 AM

Yeah, I get that. I admit I might have been a bit sensitive at the time of my initial post

But it is a really lame joke though. And like I said, considering the readership here, it really does smack of hypocrisy.

Hey this is often a real awesome website

An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
