A Dose Of Ego

By Marc Lostracco

wentworth_miller_dose.jpg
Unfortunately for Wentworth Miller, star of Prison Break, he can’t Google himself in private like the rest of us. When Miller was stalked by a paparazzo into an L.A. internet café on October 20, Torontoist was amused to notice he was reading about himself on Dose.ca, the still-active online derivation of the defunct daily. This is the page he’s looking at.
Now, granted, this is nothing more than a minor revelation, but it makes us wonder if we were snickering a little too hard at our Lukas Rossi fans who — bless them — truly believe he’s reading the comments.

    everytime marc lostracco hits gold with a focused (albeit, pelagiac) study about our fine city, or fucking slays with his excellent ttc designs, you know that one of these lame-ass cult of celebrity pap pieces is turning the corner.
    marc, what’s the deal? wentworth miller? what are you, my kid sister?

    Meh…I like my shallow pop culture just as much as I’m interested in current affairs or city politics. I’d compare your disdain to my own when people start telling me stories about golf or football. Total glazeville, population: me. But a lot of people love golf and football, and stupid magazines like US Weekly are immensely popular for a reason.
    Anyway, this particular post was more about reading Toronto-based Dose.ca than Wentworth Miller himself. And since the print version folded, Dose has become significantly more celebrity/TV/music/movie-oriented. That’s what advertisers like because people read the celeb stuff, whether they admit to it or not.
    Torontoist doesn’t take itself so seriously that there isn’t a place for “pap pieces,” especially if it spurs dialogue on pop culture. The Toronto Star web-frontpaged the Doogie story today during — gasp! — municipal election coverage and whilst Saddam is receiving a death sentence, so these kinds of silly things truly are newsworthy to people.
    (I’d also like to learn what “pelagiac” means.)

    I think the really remarkable thing about this is that someone – famous or not – still reads Dose. Come back to print, Dose! You’re just not the same!

    Lukas Rossi struck me as EXACTLY the kind of person that would search for and read those comments.
