That's who I mean and I'm sad at having added yet another burden to 
her life. I hope she can find it in her heart to forgive me. Since I 
don't read articles about her I was unaware of the unusual spelling. 
That's one of the drawbacks of TV news.

The fit was thrown by someone whose name I've forgotten. I don't 
follow the lives of supermodels. I know I'm missing out on a lot of 
our nation's intellectual richness.

I've noticed how aggressively they try and avoid the paparazzi. It 
must be tough being famous for being famous.

You've forgotten Tinky Winky who was accused by Jerry Falwell of 
being Gay and a poor role model for children. It comes with the 
superstar territory.
