      3. There's been talk about what we say about Ghomeshi's talent in wake of accusations. On one level, this questions seem besides the point

      4. Surely in the wake of horrifying accusations, main duty is to listen to victims and see justice is done. JG's talent irrelevant.

      5. Yet when a celebrity gets accused of crime, we inevitably "see" the event through prior "knowledge" of & opinions about celebrity.

      6. I put "knowledge" of celebrity in quotes because for vast majority of us such knowledge is not direct but mediated.

      6B. Okay, Bella is asleep. Back to the epistemology of celebrityhood.

          7. Part of the art of being a great performer is being able to create the illusion of intimacy. We feel like we "know" De Niro or Brando

          8. Ghomeshi provides a case study of how illusion of intimacy works. As mentioned before I was interviewed by him twice.
