The rumor is that this is Owen Wilson.

“My life is boring and not worth writing about, except for my knowledge of one thing. So this blog will focus on that thing. It is, for lack of a better word, celebrity. I stumbled onto it by a series of chance events. Suffice it to say, I can tell you what it’s like to see your picture on the magazine rack every now and again when you pay for groceries. And that’ll have to suffice. I’d like this to be the sort of account afforded only by anonymity. And it that happens, if my identity were revealed, I’d quickly be selling grapefruits — instead of paying $14 a pop to eat them — on Sunset Blvd.”

Maybe, although the paranoia of exposure seems a little overwritten. But what do I know about being a celebrity? More to the point, do I really care as long as I can pretend that the gory details of Hollywood life are true?

“Recently, though, a producer I’ve worked with and seven Industry buds of his flew their own private jet from LA to Havana for a day of mojitas, Cohibas and sixteen-year-old whores, and, upon their return, were each fined $25,000, for no other reason than their hubris. For the producer, this is Tooth-Fairy money, and a small price to be hailed as a bad ass. I should note that my cleaning lady, who’s small enough to be turned away from the more perilous amusement park rides, could kick his ass.”

I don’t care if it’s fiction as long as it’s amusing.

Dude! I didn't know Owen Wilson got booted from St. Mark's! That's way cool!

[bryant]

Hee hee hee!

[kodi]

It's odd how much my respect for him grew on learning that.

I don't think a blog full of typos is uber-hyper-literate Owen Wilson. But hey, I could always be wrong.

[gentlyepigrams]

My blog is frequently full of typos, or at least seems to be when I look at it on the web. I wouldn't assume it wasn't Wilson on that basis, but I wouldn't assume the other way, either.

Also because the current post talks about "one year out of Clemson..."

[bryant]

But he immediately points out that he was lying about Clemson to obscure his identity.

Oh, nevermind. *bang head against wall*

[gentlyepigrams]

That got my attention too, and was more of a strike than poor spelling. (It's also a strike against Damon.)

Owen Wilson huh? Hadn't heard that one.

When I was introduced to the blog (available through an RSS feed, BTW), the two leading candidates were Matt Damon or Matt LeBlanc. My feeling is that it could well be Damon, as the blog parses like an over-educated person who doesn't spell check a whole bunch, which I understand is Damon's writing style.

Don't really care, personally. Could be Don Ameche risen from the dead, as long as it stays amusing.

[bryant]

Oh, I like Damon as a theory. Especially since he says snide things about New York.

I wouldn't have linked, except that Boing Boing broke the story, so it'll be all over anyhow.
