I want to thank everyone who has sent me the links to the articles and posts about being able to dial a celebrity, or at least someone who thinks they are a celebrity. Newser had the best writeup. To me it is crazy that people would be willing to spend $18 a minute to speak to Michael Lohan. That means you think he is worth $1000 an hour. That is crazy. Even crazier though is that Dina Lohan charges $20 a minute which means she is getting $1200 an hour. Of course that is more than Lindsay Lohan makes, so if you can get the work, then I guess take it. If I am going to spend $20 a minute, then I am going to spend it on Tila Tequila because you have a chance to actually get something crazy to discuss for the rest of your life or she may marry you, do drugs or any number of other things while talking to her. Octomom is just $12 a minute, but of course the entire time you will probably hear kids in the background. The agent who sets this all up gets 50% so congratulations to them. Apparently people are doing it. Danielle Staub made $7000 last week. And people must need mesh shirt advice because Michael Lohan did make $3500 last week.
I see IRS in the future, unless this guy has a solid payment system set up.
ReplyDeleteHow did Danielle Staub make $7,000 last week? What did people want to talk to her about? Well, I guess people may want to find out from her:

Pole dancing best practices
Perfecting your ability to be a pathological liar
How to make a sex tape all by yourself
Does my lovely Kate plus 8 have a phone line with these people? Since I didn't get to be with her on her cruise, I would love to call her and verbally torture her. I must find out if she has such a phone line!
Enty is silly ....
ReplyDeletethe only celeb i would want to speak with directly is Nikki Sixx .... oh and Angelina Jolie ... oh and Brad Pitt ... and um ... *thinking* .... i guess that's it.
better start saving up!
Would Kate Gosslin do this?
ReplyDeleteMaybe under the guise of "Advice to Mothers"?
That is allot of coin for a schlub like Mr. Mesh Shirt. Would keep in in meth for a day or two.
Other than telling a few stars that I enjoy and/or admire their work, I can't imagine having anything to say to them. And I sure wouldn't pay them to tell them that.
ReplyDeleteJezebel or Gawker has an article about this, too, they called Dina Lohan. She worked 'em. Also called Octomom, she was at the zoo. With all the kids. OMG.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people call the Lohans just to tell them that their kid is a mess?
Thanks for posting this, Enty! I think it's hilarious.
I wonder what the terms of service are. The only thing I would possibly have to say to any of these people is what useless pieces of shit they are.
ReplyDeleteTell the Lohans to get off the fucking phone and go take care of their mess of a family!
ReplyDeleteI love this whole idea. I think it's hilarious. The only flaw is that I didn't see Enty listed on it. Enty, you would CLEAN UP if you offered yourself up to this, maybe toss in a few blind reveals or extra hints to the big ones. Just think of all the bacon you could buy....and get out of the basement...
ReplyDeleteWendy Williams called Dina Lohan on her show yesterday---it was pretty funny. Dina said it was a great job--you can not take any calls you choose and you can hang up whenever you want to, lol.
ReplyDeleteI got to speak to The Rock for, I dunno, 10-15 minutes for $25. It was that Haiti relief thing. worth every dime! What a sweetheart!
ReplyDeleteI'm not interested but it's a genius idea.
ReplyDeleteTMZ called Michael Lohan. It was pretty amusing.
ReplyDeleteWho is calling these people except to make fun of them? They need to get some more legit celebs.
My friend once called Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell on one of these things.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. One can call AJ Benza, Johnny Fairplay, and Chris Crocker (Leave Britany Alone!!). Poor Eric Tyson gets only $8.00 per minute.
ReplyDeleteYes, Enty, sign up!! I would totally call you!
ReplyDeleteThe only good I see is it looks like a few celebrities use it for good and help charities, not just to inflate their ego.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we should set up a reverse call line - celebrities can call us poor working plebes for $18/minute. They can research roles, or just have us listen to them blowing the smoke of cuban tobacco rolled up with benjamins into the phone.
ReplyDeleteWho's with me?
