Celebrities are just like us — they aren’t that special

Itā€™s story time in celebville

Grammys, Emmys, Oscars, Tonys, Obies, Baftas, SAGs, Critics Choices, National Board of Review, Golden GlobešŸ’™s, MTV thinš“”gs, GLAAD Media whatevers, Satellite Awards, Variety Club Awards.

Enough already. Next up, ā€œThe Shovies.ā€

Actors are us. Not speź§ƒcial. Researching years back, hereā€™s what I šŸ­learned:

Sydney Telegraph: ā€œKevin Costner bź¦«lew up at his [now ex] wife after she went on a shopping spree in Paris. ā€˜You know how much our wedding cost?!ā€™ā€‰ā€ he asked.

Kelsey Grammer: ā€œIā€™ve gone to a dermatologistšŸŒœ to get a peel, which uses little crystals. One interviewer then said I sandpaper my face.ā€

James Ulmerā€™s ā€œHollywood Hot Listā€: ā€œEthan Hawkeā€™s rumored to have three nipplešŸŒ„s.ā€

London Times: ā€œBraź¦°d Pitt looked like a God in three dimensions but we didnź¦¦ā€™t always understand what heā€™s saying in that street voice. I think itā€™s his own Brad language.ā€

Entertainment Weekly: ā€œHarrison Ford speaks with an accent so slight itā€™s like the eqšŸŒ³uivalent of a fake mustache.ā€

In Playboy: Dustin Hoffmanā€™s first sexual encounter at 15. The woman, 20, thought he was his older brother. Caught in the act: ā€œI jumped off stark naked in the living room. Mightā€™ve been the beginning of my acting career because they stood up and applauded. I likź¦†ed that applause.ā€

Matt Damon: ā€œAffleckā€™s brother&nbsą“œp;Casey makes things up just to screwšŸŽ‰ up our interviews. He told People magazine I used to break dance. Enough!ā€

Keanu Reeves: ā€œOne false rumor had someone trying to selšŸ”Æl my spleen on the Internet.ā€

Jennifer Aniston: ā€œOne rumor said I crush aspirin to cure my flakyšŸŒ  scalp.ā€

Daily Mail: Michael Douglasā€™ son Cameron: ā€œBeingź¦ in the famous Douglas clan isnā€™t bad. Helpful getting me jobs. But if yšŸ»ou get a job solely on your name and you suck ā€” you just look like a real aā€‰-ā€‰-ā€‰hole.ā€

Charlie Sheen poem per Anecdotage.com: ā€œThereā€™s a goat in my aā€”ā€‰/Living mainly on grass/They say the creature was stolen/Yet heą¹„ feeds on my colon.ā€

Mirror: Hugh Grant: ā€œWhenever I was with a girl and she left the room, first thing I looked for šŸŒ³was her diary. Good to know how deep girlsā€™ insecuź¦“rities go.ā€


At full boil

Restaurants: Daniel Boulud, mixing and mingšŸ’–led inside his just reopened šŸ¦„Upper East Side gold mine CafĆ© Boulud and wearing the equivalent of a squeaky clean bib, said: ā€œA chef cannot walk out with an apron that has any spot on it.ā€


Red, white & boo

Patriotism: With Hunter, Biden, Fauci, Menendez, Santos ā€” are we a great country, or what .ā€‰.ā€‰.

Moviemaking. New York wršŸ¤Ŗiter&nšŸ²bsp;James Monteverde:

ā€œI was a writer in Hollywood. My optioned script, ready for pre-production, then got scrapped. I realized the industry wasnā€™t interested in pro-American themes, quality scripts or the wisdom of ā€˜In God We Trust.ā€™ Theyź¦‡ wanted only scripts promoting sexual promiscuity, drug usage, gun violence and the cheapening of everyday life. Iā€™ve written about ethics, jurisprudence, citizenry, America ā„±first and ā€˜In God We Trust.ā€™

ā€œAnyone wanting such a project, let me know.ā€


Manhaā™ttan apartment. Wife: ā€œI liked it when you kissed me while we mašŸŒ³de love.ā€

Husband: ā€œWhat do you mean, kissed you?! I was giviāœØng you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.ā€

Only in New York, kids, Only in New York.
