There once was an innocent time in the celebrity industry, where actual D-list stars were bumped up from their status of hangers-on and has-beens by a new crop of attention whores: reality television cast members.

That innocent time was upon us not even a decade ago. And now it's been threatened, nearly to extinction, but another underclass: the microfamous. This class of cewebrities is composed of MySpace celebrities (who get their own reality TV shows), YouTube stars (who get their own cable network deals), and blog boldfacers (who get their own magazine deals, then lose them).

Rex Sorgatz, who had his own bout of microfame, now provides a handy how-to guide to becoming one of them, a primer that should be treated like those nuclear bomb building guidebooks circulating the Internet: buried at all costs.
