You know, I wouldn't mention in the first day of conversation, or even the tenth. But if somebody wants to know something interesting about my world...sure, why not?

Because some might think you were bragging when "who really cares"? Who you are related to has nothing to do with you.

My friends older brother was on a very popular tv show and Kathryn did not tell anyone outside our immediate circle because she did not want people to think she was bragging and to top it off, the television show embarrassed her! Sadly, Kathryn, her children and husband died at the hands of crazed men 3 years ago yesterday and the media had a field day with her connection to this actor...she probably rolled in her grave several times...

She felt his accomplishments had nothing to do with her, and they didn't until the media had a story to tell...

That's kind of dumb. Bragging is when you drop names ten seconds into the conversation, or find a way to wrangle it into the conversation. If, on the other hand, the subject of movies and favorite actors comes up, why wouldn't I want to say, "You know, my cousin is Courtney Cox"? If somebody asks about my family, why wouldn't I say, "Courtney Cox is my cousin?"

By the way, Courtney Cox isn't my cousin.

Well, she's the first celeb I could think of, because her mom lives about a quarter mile from our house. She's in town a lot, to the point where we'll see her at Publix. Sometimes, she brings Jennifer Anniston in tow. They were coming out of Highlands Bar & Grill a few months ago as Mrs. CPG and I were coming in. I just held the door open for them. They said, "Thanks," and went out to the car.

I always feel so bad for Jennifer Aniston...she seems like a nice person, you know, her demeanor seems sweet...and that darn Angelina and Brad...

See, I just don't see what the big deal is about Angelina Jolie. She just isn't that attractive to me. She always looks as if she's covered in some kind of film or something.

I liked the swing in her bedroom with Billy Bob.
