As you can probably tell by now I’m obsessed with random celebrity facts. I like to know their ages, their birthplaces, the names of their children and the make and model of their cars. There’s something fun and voyeuristic about knowing everything about a person that knows nothing about you.  Maybe it’s bad to fill your head with asinine information about celebrities but guess what?
