Here's the blog posting from VH1's program about it:
Ladies and gents, only 3 days into the new year, and we already have our first official Celebrity Trend of 2007: Narcolepsy!The trend was first spotted nary an hour or two after the clock struck midnight on New Year’s, when party host Britney Spears‘ spontaneously fell asleep on the dancefloor of the Las Vegas nightclub Pure. Check out this report:
She had been seated on a VIP tented-cabana bed overlooking the dance floor at 12:50 AM talking with one of her male dancers. She signed to he crew she wanted to leave and as she stood up, “she went into a dead faint and just fell right to the floor.”
Brit’s heavy entourage pulled her up and laid her on the bed at the same time… Eventually, Brit’s 12-man-strong security force was in place, as two of her dancers wrapped her in a blanket-hooded poncho.
Sure, we know what you’re thinking: That slut was just drunk! But you’d be wrong, Mr. Jump2Conclusions. Because her publicists assure us that, in fact, Britney was just tired and fell spontaneously asleep! Poor tired baby! Looks like she was caught by a narc… olepsy!
Also on New Year’s, Jessica Simpson was seen sitting down on a couch, then immediately laying down on the ground to catch some Z’s. A kind-hearted Q-Tip was able to quietly awake the pop star, just in time to make out for 10 hours with John Mayer.
Even Vanessa Minnillo couldn’t help but catch some shut-eye while walking out of the back exit at Marquee. Could narcolepsy be the new rage of ‘07! We certainly hope ssdjklsdjfskld…. (snore.)
There were numerous interesting comments from readers/viewers attached to the post.
"that’s odd, with the exception of q-tip the people listed in this blog cause me to have instant narcolepsy. my resolution is to care even less about these people, if humanly possible."
I love that it’s NARC Olepsy. Telling isn’t it? Especially in Britney’s case. I think it was WAY more NARC than Olepsy. LOL
Narcolepsy isn’t a joke, it’s a difficult life.
Brittney however is a joke that just won’t seem to go away.
I agree with sleepyknitter. I used to make jokes about narcolepsy until I was diagnosed w/ it. It can be a completly disabling disease in which falling asleep and falling (catalplexy) is only a fraction, though dangorous, of its many symptoms. It’s not fun having the sleep attacks, or cataplexy, 30-40 times a day. But, it would be good if it was a celebrity “trend”. That way maybe awareness and research $$$ would be pushed better.Now I find other things to laugh at (including myself).But the people you wrote about reek with yesturday’s news. On to new things!
