My kid was childhood best friends with the younger sister of a current NFL linebacker. It's been really cool to see him grow up, no one in our neighborhood thought at all that this quiet, shy kid would play any kind of professional sport.

Is she as nice as she seems?


Yes, and very down to earth.


Really? I know someone who went to high school with her and took dance classes with her, and didn’t have the same opinion. Maybe they were just rivals, bc I always though JG seemed genuine.


Jennifer Garner is in her 40's now. Mayhaps she is a different person now, over 20 years after she graduated from high school. I know I sure am.

I am friends with Lee Curreri. If you were a big fan of Fame in the 80's you'll remember him as Bruno Martelli.

He's really nice, super humble, doesn't mention Fame, hasn't magically introduced me to Debbie Allen. He's very into art.

Is Alice Cooper a nice guy in person? I know someone who used to live near him. He seems normal and pleasant, unlike his stage persona. LOL.

Alice Cooper is one of the only people in my life who I can say is a really good person. Many celebrities get involved with charities but they make sure that everyone knows about it. But Alice Cooper doesn’t care anything about looking like a good person, he cares about being a good person. Many years ago my parents, mostly my mother, got him involved in helping to preserve Native American culture and improving the lives of people on reservations. Alice still spends much of his time doing this, even though he could be making a lot of money doing other things. He is one of those rare people who does good things because they are good things, not so other people will admire him or because he thinks he’ll get some big reward in the afterlife.


That's what I thought! Thanks for answering It also sounds like when he stopped drinking (a long time ago, now) it didn't hurt, either. I love it when celebrities are great people like this, probably because so many non-celebrities are mistakenly proud to be total a-holes.


You may remember in the movie “Wayne’s Is World” Alice Cooper did a cameo appearance playing himself. What made it funny was that was totally different from what people expected. Alice explained how Milwaukee got its name from the Native American nation who had been the organization inhabitants. That was the real Alice Cooper.


Sounds like Borat's version of "Wayne's World"- Niiiiice!!

Who? Come on!! This is so not interesting if you don't name names!

I met Alice Cooper at our local country club- he played a couple of rounds of golf with random members. Seemed like a really nice guy who loves playing golf.

Famous people screw a lot of nobodies like you. It's one of the perks of being famous. I'm sure if your friends were there, they would've had the same group experience.


Nice. Were you just looking in the mirror and realizing no one wants to sleep with you?
