Can This Gay Vlogger Become Famous By Simply Wishing It?

Well, he’s come out and said it: Xem Van Adams wants his own television show.

The regular vlogger, who maintains a celebrity blog and was last seen here discussing Morehouse, says his goal to become a media sensation is a noble one: He wants to put another, different face on a network like Logo or Bravo or ABC.

But here’s Xem’s bigger message: Famewhoring is okay!

And we agree. Every day we open our inbox and find at least a dozen messages from self-promoting gays. Sometimes we oblige; more often, we don’t. Por ejemplo, we got an email from straight-person-interviewer and Queerty regular Davey Wavey asking us to interview him — it’s a buried email we just found as we were typing this, so not responding yet isn’t a a “no,” Davey! Maybe we will sit down with ya. But for now, we’re kicking back enjoying your shameless self-promotion. Our readers? Less so.

But we like what Xem is on to: “My message overall: Reach a level of fame by any means necessary. Speak your level of fame into existence. Never fear what you don’t know.” If it sounds like The Secret, it’s because it is.

Umph umph umph. My other half was right. I am spending too much time on the internet. To have even considered clicking on that video is proof enough.

Nope!!! Sorry, he will not be a celebrity. I didn’t watch the video. If I had watched a second of the video I would’ve given him power. This world already has a bunch of dumb celebrities. Why would you want to be useless to the world? Go do something. Become a successful person. Have an impact on the life of another person. Basically, stop famewhoring yourself. It isn’t a good look.
