"There have been a few bright spots here and there, but the last ten years produced no “new movements” in the arts. 2000 was the dawn of America’s mind-boggling obsession with “celebrity” fueled by (or causing) the explosion of “celebrity” magazines, 24 hour “celebrity” channels, and ultimately a never-ending stream of “celebrity”-focused web-sites. These celebrities for the most part have no skills, no talents, nothing to offer society in the way of art, unless publicly conducting a cartoon version of a drama-laced life is considered “art” by anyone."
