re: Non-pretentious, "down to earth" Hollywood celebrities

I've heard Clooney is cool.

I was at wrigley field and sat in front of Kix Brooks from Brooks and Dunn. He was a great dude. Was asking me and my buddy about what we do for a living an just generally seemed like he was truly interested I head Dunn is a complete taint licker though.

It is pretty amazing that he has fronted a well-known band for over 40 years and no one knew he had a a facial birth defect until he became a spokesperson for that charity. He's also had to have a couple of hip surgeries too, correct? Guess all those acrobatics in platforms take their toll. Been a KISS fan forever and day.

Yes, hip replacement and he is certain that walking around in the 8" heels contributed to the problem. He does so much for charity, including causes for troops. He was born without an ear and no hearing on that side...he has a reconstructed ear, which is remarkable. He also does his own makeup before concerts and afterward, chills and get down on his knees helping full-access fans try wearing his shoes...young women usually. He's real reserved and quiet...on stage it's like a different guy!

James Carville, don't care for his politics but the guy is hilarious and really nice in person and done a lot for Louisiana.
