Last week, I discussed that annoying, itching sensation of being able to recognize Perez Hilton against my will. It got me thinking about who really is famous enough to warrant my knowledge of their existence. For this type of question, there's only one man to go to: Baby Brother Boogie.

Baby Brother Boogie is a 28-year old contractor, married with a 5-month old baby girl. He doesn't have time to surf the internet all day like his douchebag older brother because he's busy doing actual work and dealing with adorable little diapers filled with adorable poop. What little TV he watches is generally sports- or news-related, although he does spend a lot of time on the road in his satelite radio-enhanced truck.

Most importantly, BBB puts no effort whatsoever into celebrity culture. He just doesn't give a shit. While he enjoys plenty of movies, music, and TV, he doesn't actively seek anything out. If he likes a movie, he doesn't care the names of the actors in it. They're all just "that guy from that thing" to him. Suffice to say: if a celebrity name has actually cracked into the walnut of his consciousness, they must be truly famous.

I asked BBB if he knows who Perez Hilton is. He scratched his head for a second and said, "I think I heard him on Howard Stern. Doesn't he have a blog or something?" So while there is a reasonable amount of name recognition, BBB admitted that he definitely had no idea what Hilton looked like and wouldn't be able to pick him out of a line-up.

While I felt slightly better about myself knowing that Hilton apparently has an insidious ability to creep even into my little bro's murky consciousness, I decided to further test the limits of fame by trying a few more names to check who is actually famous enough to pass the Baby Brother Boogie Fame Test:

David Cross: "The name is vaguely familiar, but I guess I don't know who he is."

Steve Carell: "Yes. He's famous."

Jeff Tweedy: "Nope. Not famous."

Anderson Cooper: "He's famous."

George Stephanopolous: "Yes, know him."

Dave Foley: "No idea." (Note: this one was followed by me yelling at him for 20 minutes for never having seen Kids in the Hall OR Newsradio.)

Chris Kirkpatrick: "Not famous."

Matt Groening: "Simpsons. Know him."

Ricky Gervais: "Nope."

Michael Ian Black: "No idea."

Chris Robinson: "Black Crowes. Know him."

Garrison Keillor: "Whoever he is, he certainly isn't famous."

Henry Rollins: "Yes. He's famous."

Sam Kinison: "Absolutely."

Joss Whedon: "No idea."

Tony Danza: "Yes. The most famous."

Chuck D: "Definitely. Public Enemy."

John C. Reilly: "Yup, know him."

Seth Rogen: "Sounds really familiar, but I don't know if I'd say I know exactly who he is."

Sarah Silverman: "Yes. She's funny."

Mike Mirabella: "Hmm... rings a bell..."

Take heed, Hollywood. You are officially not that famous until my brother knows who you are. Anyone have any more borderline celebs they want to try for the next round?
