All the women sharing the post. I guess...very nice. All the women sharing the post. I guess it all depend on your location. In my area I see celebrities non stop. About two weeks ago I was standing close to Lady Gaga who was nice signing autographs and taking pictures with the young teenaagers that surrounded her. Her hair was totally blue. Last night I saw a famous American author (especially for those who like historical books), David McCullough who talked about his recent book "The Great Journey - Americans in Paris." It is set during 1830-1900 with many great pictures and 460 pages. He talks very well with many stories to tell. About two months ago, I saw Shaina Twain talking about her book. The book store in my building was the most packed ever. And every September we have the Toronto Film Festival with many movie stars roaming in the streets. Early this week we had the Bollywood Film event, where all the big movie stars from India were here. I have seen numerous celebrities coming to my building's book store to promote their book like Bill Clinton, Depak Chopra, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones ect ..<br />Now about celebrities in books: Mine is full with famous singers from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. They are very famous in China, but really unknown in North America, which is rather sad. If you want to know one only, then check the late Teresa Teng on YouTube.
