"I might have discussed my love for James Van Der Beek on Don&amp;#x27;t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 a few times before (OK, maybe a lot), but last night&amp;#x27;s episode made me realize just how fresh and interesting it is to see an actor play himself. Sure, it&amp;#x27;s a highly fictionalized version of himself, but JVDB does offer a semi-accurate look at what it means to be a celebrity these days. Let&amp;#x27;s take a look at his &amp;quot;career&amp;quot; so far... He joins Dancing With the Stars Back in the day, joining a reality show meant your career was practically on its deathbed. But now so many stars&amp;#x27; fame are made or revived thanks to a little ballroom dancing (I&amp;#x27;m looking at you, Stacy Kiebler). He has a clothing line (and a perfume in the works) Um, what celebrity doesn&amp;#x27;t have an endorsement or some kind of product they&amp;#x27;re selling these days? Plus, Beek&amp;#x27;s jeans do make the tush look great. Le sigh. A sex tape could make, not break, his career On last night&amp;#x27;s episode, June accidentally gives Chloe&amp;#x27;s sex tape with JVDB away to her Korean church. It gets sold to a porno company, but JVDB&amp;#x27;s PR reps are thrilled&amp;amp;mdash;this could be a great move! Hey, if it worked for Kim Kardashian, why not the Beek? Too bad Prince Harry releases his sex tape on the same day, overshadowing his big, erm, reveal. Did you see last night&amp;#x27;s episode? What did you think? I&amp;#x27;m slowly starting to get addicted to this show!
