"In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes" - Andy Warhol

Back in the early internet days of the home page, I had a theory (and not a very original theory) that for every actor or musician, regardless of prominence, attractiveness or talent, there was at least one #1 fan willing and eager to dedicate a home page to him or her.

One could search for any major or minor star on Yahoo! and find, without fail, somebody who had established a GeoCities account, learned HTML, added animated GIFs, scanned photos from magazines and written a worryingly detailed biography complete with film credits, scheduled appearances and upcoming projects for that celebrity.

Of course, I soon stumbled upon a related theory that stated the less prominent, attractive or talented the star was, the faster the page became outdated.

Since home pages are so passé, I thought I should revise (and broaden) my theory to now say, "For every celebrity in entertainment, sports or politics, regardless of prominence, attractiveness or talent, there are at least three #1 fangirls or fanboys willing and eager to dedicate a blog category (if not an entire blog) to that celebrity."

Expanding on this revised theory, I would say true celebrities have at least one hater with a blog or blog category devoted to trashing them. I would go as far as to say that the theory will eventually encompass "blogebrities", too, which may seem too meta, but given time and blogging's self-referential nature, future blogebrity fan blogs aren't much of a stretch.
