YouTube's "Leave Britney Alone" Loon Inks TV Deal
Chris Crocker, the 19-year-old Tennessean and MySpace sensation whose "Leave Britney Alone" video plea rocked YouTube the week after the pop tart's VMA implosion — to the tune of nearly eight million hits — has inked a development deal with reality-TV producer 44 Blue Productions. According to Variety, the plan is to build a "docusoap" around Crocker. "It's pretty much going to be 'the Chris Crocker experience,'" 44 Blue's prez tells the trade. "We consider him a rebel character that people find interesting. He's going to be a TV star." Maybelline's Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner is already lining up as a sponsor.
