A bit, maybe - but not really.
There's a distinction to be made between celebrity for a reason (starring in a movie, daubing the streets with social commentary) and celebrity for celebrity's sake (Ms. Hilton and .. well, 95% of all the other worthless degenerates the plebscites worship).
Frankly, as long as fame and celebrity endorsement doesn't spoil his outlook, I'm quite happy for him to be known outside my own precious little circle ('of one', in my case).
Hell, an inside look might even make his work even more scathing, well-known and relevant to the masses.

well in celebrity or entertainer terms ....
paris hilton has certainly entertained me with her mindless shenanigans certainly more than Colin Farrell and Orlando Bloom ever have.

Trying to decide if its worth it for me to attend. I don't care what people say, I am a fan of his work.

This isn't hipster shit. The guy is trying to produce art. What else would you have him do?

"After much hype and secretive planning, the event opens to the public on Friday following an invitation-only, celebrity launch party."
banksy as artist is a bit to stomach. but when he uses the world as his art gallery, his concepts really hit home. hopefully he's much smarter than that and makes the event some part of a greater stunt... i'd like to think he doesn't become the thing he loathes, but then again, he does like to put his own work in large art galleries... hmmmm....
