Celebrities Are Their Own Biggest Fans - Los Angeles Times

One of the researchers behind the recently reported study that found that celebrities are more narcissistic than ordinary people is none other than Dr. Drew Pinsky, a celebrity in his own right. Pinksy used his connection to the radio show, Loveline to find celebrities to participate in his study, and succeeded in gaining access to a group that is normally impossible to reach by scientific researchers. The study found that celebrities with the most skill (musicians) were the least narcissistic, while those with the least skill (reality show contestants) were the most narcissistic, and women celebrities were more narcissistic than male celebrities.

Young, the other researcher behind the study, fears that narcissism is growing among college students (based on his other research on the subject). He thinks it may be due partly to their increased exposure to reality shows that feature narcissistic people.

That's scary.
