I can think of innumerable experiences that would be worse nightmares. Like, I don't know, having your arm ripped off by an angry grizzly bear or, *cheap shot alert!* listening to Jimmy Buffet for more than a few minutes.

LOL! I was waiting for one of you to say that!

ETA: I'm not so sure this story is all that accurate. If somebody cranked-called Clinton, the Secret Service would have arrested them by now. At least I think they would have.

This smells like an Onion story.

I'm still in disbelief: people generally don't cop to smoking weed in interviews, and even if they do, journos generally don't seize on details like that unless they're key to the story (or the celeb).

That Jimmy Buffett has the need to have Bill Clinton and Bill Gates on speed-dial is pretty amusing, though.  Only celebrity I've ever had in my cell phone was Henry Rollins, and I'm sure that wasn't his home #.  (And Sean Kelly of the Samples, if he rises to celeb level -- any Samples fans in the hizzle?)

Correction: celebrities don't cop to smoking weed in interviews (well, unless it's Willie Nelson) but trailer-trash unemployed busboys do.  He probably figures it'll get him on Jerry Springer...

You had Henry Rollins in your cel phone? Mmmmmm....

Sadly, that's the only place I had him.

Betcha dime to dollars that you got it exactly backwards.  Gates & Clinton feel the need to have Jimmy on their call list.

A New Beard For Tom:
http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyID=2005-06-17T110929Z_01_SCH734502_RTRUKOC_0_PEOPLE-CRUISE.xml

I called in & discussed this with Dave & the gang & very surprisingly they played the whole thing back.  More details after the Drive's 10@10, but Ali heard it and called me up.

So I said, "I have a comment about Tom Cruise, but maybe you can't replay my call without getting sued.  For a lot of my gay friends it's an absolute article of faith that Tom Cruise is living a double lifestyle, and Mimi Rodgers, Nicole Kidman & now young Katie Holmes are just a bunch of high profile beards."

Dave: "Yeah I have a lot of friends who say the same thing.  It's always somebody heard something..."

Me: "'My ex-boyfriend's former lover was on the set and had an encounter..."

Dave:  "Yeah, exactly."

Irish Greg:  (and this is the part I was sure they'd edit out)  "Well, we heard it first hand from one his directors..."

Peter:  (something unclear about Nicole Kidman, and after hearing it then & on the replay I still can't tell if he meant they had Nicole on & she also said something, or if something was said about her, like Tom was her beard, too).  Then he said something about how famous people get all kinds of rumors spread about them.

Me:  "And I heard the exact same thing about Luke Perry from 90210..."

Dave: "My friends said that, too...."

Me:  "Except in this case it was 'My brother slept with Luke Perry'."

Greg: something about Cruise having been in denial for years about these rumors...

Me: "Well he's proven to be very good about getting people sued if they say anything in public."

Dave & Greg voiced general agreement with this.

And then I said thanks & they said thanks & I got off the line.  I figured they wouldn't air this, but they did a few minutes later.  They left in all the juicy stuff, but edited out any talk of lawsuits.  Then Peter & Dave continued a bit:

Peter:  "The same thing happens to single quarterbacks in the NFL...(long pause & I swear I could see him almost saying Steve Young & Jeff Garcia's names)...uh...why is that Dave?"

Dave:  "Don't ask me, I've got enough gay men in my life.

...Just KIDDING!"

(at which point I totally cracked up.)  

So, keep those gay men coming, Dave is not done yet.
