Topic: Vj Contest

Adam Curry shares a story about Jesse Camp, the eccentric winner of an MTV VJ contest who received a million-dollar record advance. While staying at Jack Ponti's house and maintaining a public persona of a "nut job" who ate sprinkles for breakfast, he was overheard speaking fluent French to his mother. Camp eventually admitted to being a highly educated trust fund recipient who had manufactured his public character as a long-term performance.
