Hollywood Worries

* Recently, I have been lamenting that I could have had it all if only I had stayed with the celebrity thing a long time ago when I had the chance. Thank you for reminding me why I didn’t do that. Your article reminded me what a hog race that whole scenario is. I can’t imagine worrying even a nanosecond about where I’m going to sit; my seat is always the best seat in town, because I can see everything clearly from where I stand.
