      Well, apparently here it is what passes for news as every week there are lots of confirmed rumors are spotting of “celebrities.”

      Anyone else remember the time Tom Cruise and Nicole Kiddman bought a house in Biltmore Forest, or Town Mountain, or Beaver Lake, or Grove Park, or….

      Asheville is strange place. We fancy ourselves so sophisticated, and so above the concerns of the mere mortals who make up the population of the rest of the world yet we are obsessed with having our home validated as worthy by playing up every absurd fourth hand rumor of some alleged celebrity gracing us with their presence.

         Yeah, I agree. From some comments it might be inferred that Asheville has finally reached a critical tipping point in not caring about a famous person in town as it is now almosts a daily occurrence. I read a comment from Sanford in the article about Gannett Press where he responded to a question to as why there isn’t enough hard news in Ashevegas- advertising costs won’t let him bring hard news to the table apparently. Sad, as plenty of newsy stuff happens here and ACT/WLOS/MtnX doesn’t quite cut it either sometimes for ‘real’ news.

         Pretty sad we all fawn over an actor here to attend a friend’s funeral too. I’ll bet he really appreciates all those ‘hey can we take a selfie together?’ requests.

      The rumors are true, Cranston and Ceaser Millan are teaming up to do a mockumentary show about drug dealers and their hunting dogs- it’s called Meth Lab.
