The Brightest Star of Them All – Jeff Brazier
or
A clever-clever title about post-modernism, possibly juxtaposing a reference to Derrida or Baudrillard with one to Rebecca Loos.
Famous for being married to a reality TV contestant. That "star", Jade Goody, was first loathed then loved but either way didn’t seem to be acting or have any discernable talent other than being Jade Goody. Jeff's entire media career* consists only of appearances on *Celebrity* reality shows – Celebrity Wife Swap, a cameo in Back to Reality, taking part in Simply the Best, a full team member in The Farm and the forthcoming Famous and Frightened for Living TV – without *ever* having a particular talent or any success to earn the initial fame that TOFAT careers are usually built on. A true post-modern hero. Jeff , I salute you!
* Further research reveals that he was on Shipwrecked in 2001. We’ll gloss over that.
