    Meh...
    My life doesn't revolve around what celebrities do/don't do.....(which is why a lot of depression exists IMHO...folks following/absorbed with celebrity life but who are nowhere near equal in socioeconomic status as the celebrity, hence depression sets in)

    I believe he is a tripewriter salesman from Remington, in Fauquier County, in the Commonwealth of Virginia, a colony so crruelly stolen from the British in 1783, oftentime led by a man called Patrick Henry, whose name lives on in Infamy. Rest assured, the day will come when Our Noble, and Most Gracious Queen, Elizabeth II, will return in trumph to Virginia, to reclaim it for the Crown.

    Nope.
    And it's not uncommon for me to have to look up one when their name is mentioned because I have no idea who the heck they are....

    Yeah, Tom Hanks is pretty damn obscure.

    I said "celebrities" (meaning broad swipe) & nowhere did I say "Tom Hanks"....

    That being said, I really don't get enthralled in their private life - so that might be more an American thing (getting involved in celebrities private lives and hence America's almost "stalking" fascination with "reality TV")

    Next comment?
