15 MINUTES ARE UP

It's hard to forget Chris Crocker's emotional plea for the world to "leave Britney alone!" (Believe me, I've tried.)Crocker's show of support for the floundering pop star set off a media frenzy that he somehow managed to turn into talk-show appearances and an international following. So what's our gender-bending friend up to now? Brace yourself. Crocker -- whose official website boldly boasts: "That's Ms. Chris Crocker to you, bitch!" -- indicates that he has moved on to a music career. His newly released single, said to be getting plenty of radio play, is called "Mind in the Gutter." (Darn! My money was on a cover version of "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?") Crocker says that he has done a "lot of growing off-camera" and, though he's "still Chrissy from the Crock," he is "no longer the funny video guy." Hey, come on. Leave Chris Crocker alone.
