When celebrity is not enough

The last item in today's "Fix" column on Salon -- a sort of compendium of entertainment gossip -- says that Pamela Anderson, the pneumatic television star of "Baywatch" and "V.I.P." -- will play a "non-celeb version of herself" on a new sitcom. What does it mean? It's like saying "a non-rich version of Donald Trump." After you take away the most distinguishing characteristic, is anything left? The whole notion hurts my head. (And here's the NYT story, humorously titled "Why Johnny Can't Read.")

And this post would not be complete without telling you that tomorrow in San Francisco you can take a class called Pole Dancing 101.
