It’s quite fun to watch big Hollywood stars who are so self-assured of their celebrity that they poke fun at both themselves and the rabid, celebrity-worshiping infrastructure that surrounds them. A perfect example of this type of self-deprecating humor is during the first act of the 1960 slapstick comedy “The Bellboy,” where Jerry Lewis plays himself as a big-time, self-important celebrity who is visiting the posh Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida.
