It seems to us that the toughest part about being a celebrity would be attending all the events that you have nothing to do with but have to attend because you’re a celebrity and there are celebrity photographers there to take your celebrity photo so it can be included on celebrity websites and celebrity TV shows.
Take last night for instance (April 18, 2012). Shaun White attended the premiere of a movie called Five-Year Engagement at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. He got all dressed up. He wore a black suit with a black tie. And smiled for the cameras standing next to Robert De Niro.
What could possibly bring Shaun White and Bobby De Niro together? Or, yeah. They’re both represented by Creative Artists Agency. Just think how stoked their agents are because being a celebrity and getting celebrity endorsements requires staying a celebrity. And the way you stay a celebrity is by attending celebrity events where there are celebrity photographers who take your photo so it can be included on celebrity websites and. . . Wait, did we say that already? What a vicious circle fame is.

When you can hate on energy drinks, go for the agencies. I see a pattern developing on this website.
Maybe he wanted to see the movie too! Hope Shaun had fun, he deserves it! He didn’t hate on RB, they ended this amicably….he still is sponsored by Burton, Oakley, Target, and I can go on, and all of these have been sponsoring him for a LONG time. And just perhaps De Niro enjoyed rubbing up against Shaun…. I say, “Go, Shaun, enjoy…..”
He could have also been there to support Sal Masekela’s film Alekesam, and also got invited to this. People don’t know, so quit assuming. Celebrate the attention that he’s been able to bring to the sport we love.
I never would have seen this “celebrity moment” if I didn’t look at Boardistan. You’re for doing your part.
