GRAVITAS: Pampered Menials II - Unplugged

Celebrity: The Importance of Being Noticed


Trip Fails To Water Ego: MX News, Sydney Australia, 8th August, 2006/www.teenhollywood.com:

A charity trip to Africa has brought Justin Timberlake down to Earth, branding it the most grounding experience of his life because nobody recognized him.

The singer accompanied girlfriend Cameron Diaz to Tanzania and was stunned to meet people who had no idea of the couple's fame, teenhollywood.com reports.

"First we thought they might have recognized us, but we were humbled to find out they hadn't a clue who we were," he said.

"They were celebrating because they finally had a well with drinking water."

HAMMERTIME: Hmmm. Some people have their priorities steadfast. 'Let them drink Perrier' back at the Zambese Hilton? Inevitably... Sigh...

Zzzzzzzzzz.

Verdict? Actions speak louder than words, Viva Tanzania! I wish I could build you an Aswan dam. Enjoy.

The HAMMER!

everyone should have an experience like that regularly.

Indeed. Preferably sporadically, so they don't expect it as it comes. Sobering.

tH!
