Doree Shafrir reports that rising poptart Ke$ha‘s brother is Lagan Sebert. I’m a huge Lagan fan, and not only because he sought out, filmed, edited and presented this Current TV piece from 2008 about the Flophouse. But also because he and then-American News Project colleague Davin Hutchins did this brief Guantanamo piece that I narrated!

Seriously, Lagan is a very talented narrative documentary journalist and I’m sure his sister is lovely as well. I’m saying this about someone who highlighted the absolute filth and squalor in which I used to live.
