The Vanity Fair back page has been devoted to having celebrities answer The Proust Questionnaire. Celebrities among the likes of Robert De Niro and Alan Arkin.
Some of the time people have interesting answers or sometimes the answers are as pompous and arrogant as could be. So I decided to take the questionnaire for myself and see who I am most like. One of the pompous arrogant celebrities or one of the cool ones like the hilarious Alan Arkin.

The Chelsea Clinton's and Regis and the Philbins
Regis and the Philbins, The Chelsea Clinton's, and the Obesity Epidemic are just some of the great new bands that played at Coachella music festival this year...or so some festival goers would tell you.
Jimmy Kimmel sent a camera crew to Coachella in search of people who want to seem like they know about bands no one has heard of and asked them about band names that they made up. The result: hipsters praising bands that don't exist and being excited to see them live. Nice. Not only did they claim to know fake bands, but two girls claimed to know a fake band called Dr. Shlomo and the G.I. Clinic, saying "they're always amazing."
So funny that New York Magazine had to pin this in its Approval Matrix in the Highbrow and Brilliant section.
It goes to show you, hipsters do know about before you...and before it even exists.
