With all these people fawning all over them it's no wonder these Hollywood types think they can push their political agenda on us. Am I the only person on here that doesn't give a rat's a$$ about these overpaid "celebrity" nitwits?

Hagan......The Villa is shaded by ancient shrubs to the south side and really "non descript" if you can rightfully descibe a $10M villa that way! It is in the town of Laglio,between the Villa Dessa and Bellagio.

Sir Galahad

I second that! I have been wanting to express the fact that I do not give a damn about JLO and BEN. I could care less if and when they get married. They are so overexposed I can hardly stomach it anymore. The only channels that don't report on Jen & Ben here are Travel, Food Net, HGTV ! My God when are they going to hurry up get married, get divorced and disappear?

Calamari - LOL! So goes Hollywood. Guess I will never meet a celebrity because I am always one person removed from them; famous celebrity athletes both current and former, two different male soap stars, Jessica Simpson, Lance Armstrong, Connie Selleca and John Tesch, Tom Ridge, owner of Coca Cola mansion in Atlanta, GA, Ret. General Tommy Franks' MIL/FIL were my next door neighbor a few years ago not far from where I live today. My mom once saw Sylvester Stallone and was shocked at how small he was - looked 5'7. His Rambo image made him seem so huge! I'm always surprised to learn how tiny some of the men celebs are. They seem much taller on screen. The girls are appear shorter but are actually taller than they seem. However, my SIL stood beside Kelly Ripa and said she was not even 5'. So tiny and even more gorgeous than on t.v. How could she be? I'm not good at spotting and recognizing most celebs so I would probably walk right by them and never notice. Oh, well.

RLA -

Just have to add that growing up in Malibu with parents in the music biz, I grew up with a lot of "kids of celebs" who are now "parents of celebs" i.e. the Hilton sisters. Anyway, do not dispair. It is only their PR machines that make their lives sounds so happy and glam. Not so. You are right about how much smaller in stature many are. Actually, I think we just presieve them as smaller because at the end of the day they are just folks, nothing more...over paid and many lacking true talent, but just folks. A friend of mine, her mom a famouse Brit actress, introduced me once to the one actor I thought I would be very impressed with...Sean Connory. It was 1980, yes, he was handsome and of course the voice was amazing, but by the end of lunch he was human again. Voila! no more mystery. The bubble burst. And one more sad tid bit, they don't really give a crap about their "fans". Sorry.

who cares? Better use of your time to enjoy Italy and not look for some over-rated over-paid below-average actor.

LOL Calamari! I hadn't really realized why I've been watching more of Food Net and HGTV. All the hype will probably last a lot longer than the marriage.

Sadly for them, I believe you may be right.

If you want to see George Clooney you'll be better off buying the October issue of Vanity Fair magazine.
