Stupid Celebrity Tricks

So I'm watching TV last night and they show a clip from an interview that Barbara Streisand did a couple weeks ago with Ellen Degeneres. And in the interview Streisand suddenly announced that four was her favorite number because, "it's the most creative number in the universe. If you have four, then you can make five." I'll just file this one in the "shut the hell up" category next to Shirley MacLaine's chakra nonsense and Madonna's pseudo-kabbalah fad. I really should start a weekly feature on stupid things celebrities say. I remember many years ago seeing Patrick Swayze on the Tonight Show and he said, "I truly believe that everything happens for a reason." Oh good thinking, Patrick. Now go explain the grand purpose of Roadhouse to the people of Darfur.

But I thought three was the magic number!

All I know is that one is the loneliest number, and that two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one. Egads, what a horrible song that is. I'd prefer it if the magic number was 867-5309.

Don't panic, everybody knows it's 42.

Celebs are no dumber than the people I hear talking astrology or homeopathy or nutritional supplements around the company watercooler. Celebs have higher visibility, but I think that a gullible person is more likely to buy into bullshit from someone they know than from somebody famous, no matter how much they admire the famous one.

My darling Ed, everyone knows that 1 plus 1 equals 1 :-)

As far as I'm concerned, Barbara can extol the virtues of the number four all she wants as long as she doesn't play knick-knack on my door.

I haven 't watched TV much in years, don't miss it either.
