LOS ANGELES Theres low, and then theres low.Former MTV reality star
Farrah Abraham, 21, who shot to fame as a subject of the
networks 16 and Pregnant in 2009 and its spinoff Teen Mom, admitted
this week that she had sex on camera with professional porn star
James Deen. It was then widely assumed the idea was that the
video was to then be leaked as a celebrity sex tape.While sex
tapes are nothing new in the scandal drenched Hollywood community, some
argue that hiring a "pro" to orchestrate a fake sex tape is
evidence of a whole new level of desperation.Staging an event like this
is really a desperate cry for fame. As the old adage goes,
fame is fleeting and only lasts fifteen minutes. But todays stars, and
reality stars in particular, are looking for ways to make their fame
last as long as possible," sociologist popular culture expert Dr. Hilary
Levey Friedman told FOX411s Pop Tarts column. "The way to keep building
fame is to be talked about, and in our crowded media space
it takes something quite controversial to get so much ink."Life and career
strategist Suzannah Galland says Abrahams stunt says a lot about our culture.Hollywoods
impact has misguided youth yet again. This is a new low of
lows where the latest self-creative hype is shaped around being crude and
in your face, she said. Its very clear that being an exhibitionist
is in demand, and will encourage other aspiring fame seekers to crave
the same kind of attention.Even thou

Can Hollywood handle the truth about an actresss age?A trial now
under way in Seattle is seeking to answer that question in the
case of a sexy 41-year-old B-movie performer who is suing a popular
film Web site for ruining her dreams of stardom by publicizing her
true age.Junie Hoang says she has been struggling for years to make
it to the top in Tinseltown, with little luck.After nearly two decades
in the business, her biggest roles were in films such as Zombie
Postwoman in Z: A Zombie Musical.Hoang claims that all hope of putting
such low-grade fare behind her and joining the A-list ended when the
Internet Movie Database (IMDb) Web site violated her privacy and posted
her real age on its site.In her $1 million suit which
is being heard this week Hoang claims discrimination is so bad
in Hollywood that hiding ones age is vital.In the entertainment industry,
youth is king, she said in her civil complaint. If one is
perceived to be over-the-hill, i.e. approaching 40, it is nearly impossible
for an up-and-coming actress . . . to get work.Though IMDb has
conceded it used Hoangs subscriber information to discover her real age,
it argues that the truth should trump all of Hoangs claims.Go to
The Post for more.
