fame
okay, 3 stories about famous people and people who aren't really famous.
1. So I read about what famous people do. I never cared before, but for some reason I do now. I read stuff about them online. I know, I'm a loser, but whatever. So, I always see all these videos and stuff about people on vacation in Hawaii, and I wonder why I never see any of them since people are always here. I never even run into Dog the bounty hunter who's office is within 2 miles of where I live and work. But then I realized I actually have seen some famous people here 1. I saw Paul Walker (from fast and furious) at a bar about 2 years ago. I wouldn't have recognized him but others did. 2. we saw one of the guys from lost while we were at an art museum a few months ago. I don't watch lost so I wouldn't recognize any of them, but Jackie was super excited about it, and said hi to him when we walked by and was really excited when he said hi back. 3. We saw the lead singer from yellowcard at a bar. not sure if that counts since we were going to the yellowcard concert the next day, but i think it still counts 4. got autograph and pic of all american reject guy which really doesn't count cuz we were at the concert.
so then last week Mike and I were on Maui and we were chillin on the beach. We were sitting next to these two girls who looked normal. the houses in that area are super expensive (like 10 million) and mike pointed out to me that the girls were going up the path to the house where they apparently lived or were staying. we had a whole discussion about it. Since they were pretty young I figured they didn't own a 10 million dollar house and probably lived with their rich parents. Mike thought they weren't tan enough to live there, so then I said they were probably visiting their parents for thanksgiving.
then, while we were in the water, I noticed a guy sort of hiding in the bushes with a super nice expensive camera. I told him it looked like the paparazzi. we went back to our stuff which was like 5 feet from these girls, but they didn't look like anyone famous to me. Then when I got back, I was on TMZ, my favorite site for celebrity gossip, and there was a video of the girls on the beach- you can even see our towels and stuff in the video! Apparently it was Owen Wilson's new girlfriend Le Call. I have no idea who that is, but Owen was apparently on Maui too and was probably in the house 20 yards from me.
2. Is everyone from Amherst aware that Jeff Addiss is in Raisin Bran commercials? I had no idea til Betsy showed me the commercials on youtube. She made me watch the commercials without telling me who was in it, but I recognized him immediately. Funny thing is, I've actually seen one of the commercials before and didn't recognize him since I didn't know i was supposed to be looking for someone i knew. IMDB him- apparently he's been in other stuff too.
3. I always wonder why no one i know has been on a reality TV show. Well, other than when Colin was on Jeopardy, but game shows don't count.
When I was little, my mom sold Discovery Toys with this lady Kathy. She had a daughter Susan who was a year older than me. We used to play together. They moved out of the state when i was around 10 or so and I never saw her again. This week, Kathy calls up my mom out of the blue and they talk for awhile. Apparently, Susan was in the final 3 on the Bachelor Paris! I went and looked up stuff from the bachelor and it's kinda funny to hear what people have to say about her. The bachelor went home with her to her parent's house, and apparently her mom (kathy) basically scared him away by talking about how she was recently engaged and implying that she was just on the show to advance her acting career. So I guess Kathy told my mom that Susan wants to be an actress and has had small rolls in a few things (IMDB her too), and she's dated NFL and NHL players and they're worried about her. I found this video of her that was close to porn- she's in a bathing suit frolicking on the beach in a suggestive manor.
It's kinda funny because I watched at least a few episodes of the bachelor that season (I pretty much only remember the finale- maybe that's all i saw). they only ever refer to the girls by their first names, so I was watching her and didn't even know it. i don't really remember anything about her though, so if anyone watched that show fill me in!
