I ACTUALLY WANT TO BE LIKE YOU PAMELA SLIM! HOW DID YOU ESCAPE CORPORATE PRISON TO DO WHAT YOU DO. THAT’S MY DREAM!!!
I don’t know Don Cheadle but I like his recent efforts to bring attention to the genocide in Darfur. It takes a lot of personal integrity for a person who is so priviledged to dedicate some of his time to the affairs of those less fortunate.

Well, as far as Cheadle’s problems with fame goes, there was the time in 2002 I went to a friend’s wedding, saw Don Cheadle walking through the tiny parking lot at the reception hall, and I SCREAMED “Oh My God, It’s MOUSE!! I mean Don Cheadle!” and then hid behind my car because I was so embarrassed. Apparently he was friends with the groom. His friends kept poking him in the side and laughing every time they saw me at the reception too…but I guess everyone has a star they idolize, and he has always been mine as well.

I agree. Fame is highly overrated. I would rather change the world in quiet yet profound ways than be so famous that I couldn’t go out to a restaurant, take a walk with my dog, or gain 5 pounds without people getting in my face or snapping inopportune photos.

I think I would like to be Don Cheadle half the week, and Philip Seymour Hoffman the other half. (It doesn’t hurt that I’ve seen Hoffman madly biking through NYC with a goofy cap on his head.)

But I love anyone who, to use a superhero term, “uses his powers for good,” and still seems to live on this earth. And we all have powers. And we all can use them for good.

Well, George does have a very nice house on Lake Como… but then again, so do I!

I think that dreaming is good … but some days I just want to figure out what the real me wants to be. Can I give myself Oprah’s spirit but Angelina’s body … okay, the body she had before she got super skinny?

I like Jamie Oliver’s style – a guy who is ~so~ where he was meant to be, and very sucessful as a result, but too busy working on his next big idea to get caught up in the fame game.

This is cliche..but Christopher Walken.

I agree with you about your comparison of Cheadle to Clooney.

Errr it is actually bloody good! Like Hugh Laurie in House, who I think pulls off a remarkable American accent but you guys might hear what we cannot and think it is just a load of tosh. You might ask why he did not retain his English Oxford accent.

Well, you might like to note that Hugh fooled the producers at his audition for House. They thought he was American!

Apparently he walked in and from the get go used his version of the American accent. They did not know otherwise.

And I reckon Don can pull it off here in UK too and many, many Brits will not realise he is not an Englishman. I really do.
