Frenzied Britney Fan's Star Is Rising

September 20, 2007 | 9:04 AM

As the new fall television season commences, I would be remiss if I failed to mention this little tidbit: Chris Crocker, Britney Spears' biggest Web fan, might be getting his own show. Apparently anything goes in Hollywood these days.

Crocker, 19, who lives with his grandparents in Tennessee, posted a passionate YouTube defense of the embattled pop star's lackluster performance on the "MTV Video Music Awards." He got a gajillion hits and notoriety on newscasts around the nation.

Now, Variety reports that Crocker has signed with a production company. "It's going to pretty much be 'The Chris Crocker Experience,'" 44 Blue founder Rasha Drachkovitch told the paper. "He's going to be a TV star."

Gossip blog Defamer weighed in on the news: "We're confident that 44 Blue will eventually be successful in delivering the 'Chris Crocker experience' … into America's living rooms. Assuming, of course, that the televisions in those living rooms have access to the Screamy Drama Queen Channel on which it will eventually run."

(If you aren’t familiar with this issue, you can watch the video here, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
