11 Famous People We Just Realized We Don't Really Know Who They Are
Hoda Kotb
Sheldon Adelson
Taylor Swift
Larry Burstein
Simon Baker
Ina Garten
Aby Rosen
Molly Sims
Amanda Hearst
Bruno Mars
Minka Kelly
I think Minka Kelly is some sort of porn actress who specializes in A2M and setting her own asshole on fire for the finale.
But I could be wrong. It's been almost an hour since I visited pornhub.
"KELLY BROOK NAKED PICS -CLICK HERE-"
I had no idea who that was, so I googled her. Thank YOU, Mr Yucko.
Bruno Mars = super annoying kiddie pop
Ina Garten is Martha Stewart in the kitchen with proper medication and 80 additional pounds.
Which is to say, 80 lb more believable than Martha Stewart.
INAGARTENDAVITA, HONEY, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE-OVE YOU-OU
Ima Bookshelf
Ura Hoar
She's the only one who I actually know who it is! Her cookbooks are not bad.
Sheldon Adelson, orthodox Jew and Las Vegas hotelier par excellence. Palazzo anyone?
Amanda Hearst= Paris Hilton wannabe with a bank robber Mom.
I flirted mercilessly with Amanda Hearst one time at a college newspaper informational meeting. Obviously, nothing came of it.
I feel like Patty is her aunt?
@katie: Hey, you're right! The bankrobbing gene is once removed.
Any relation to Amanda Hugginkiss?
Can we have an interactive post where we have to match firsts-to-lasts? Or Most Noted Accomplishment to Most Notorious Arrest?
C'MON! Barefoot in Paris. Ina is the shit.
agreed. she's the damn barefoot contessa. respeck!
NO! she is the worst. she is a smug, self-satisfied, richy rich, who does her best on every episode to remind you that her life is more fulfilling that yours. "today i have a business meeting and i'm making lunch for it, name drop, name drop, name drop, rich people, rich people, rich people, check out my sweet long island pad." fuck her, she makes my blood boil. her food is tasty though.
She loves salt, so there's that.
There was a list like this one time?
And when it got to be very, very long and comprised most of the names I saw in the course of a working day, that's when I clicked close tab. The tab was called "Gawker".
This is why celebrity news/gossip is like watching a river.
You never put your foot in the same celebrity news/gossip twice.
Hoda Kotb is someone who you might encounter on a sick day during the fourth (I know, WHAT) hour of Today as the foil to the singing sweatshop shrew, who you would never GUESS had a formerly legit career in journalism.
Kotb makes me nervous. Sounds vaguely muslimy and terrorismy, like Qutb. Hoda sounds kinda lutherany norwegiany, though.
I thought the SNL skits were based on, you know, jokes, but literally every time I am home and see any part of the 4th hour, KLG is boozing on-air. One time they were doing tequila shots! She basically works at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.
Define "we".
If some of them are Awl commenters, it’s going to be tricky to do that without being meta-enabling.
Haha. THE EDITORIAL STAFF.
Hey you'll notice there's no rappers on it. THAT'S CUZ WE KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
Bruno Mars is on a lot of rappers' songs, so…
Minka Kelly is a recurring guest star on Parenthood. According to my husband she is "super hot."
She's marrying Derek Jeter. I wasn't aware she was still doing anything else.
She's also one of the stars of Friday Night Lights.
Still? Perhaps I should start watching again…
She was on the first three seasons, and a few episodes in season four…
@bs: since you mentioned it, i'm gonna get up on my soapbox about "parenthood". it is the most frustrating show on tv. it has the potential to be awesome but then, instead of doing things like long term character development, it just devolves into cliches and manufactured "drama" for the sake the of the episode at the cost of the show's long term quality. it drives me nuts. also, lauren graham is way hotter than minka kelly.
"friday night lights", on the other hand, is the best "teen drama" in the history of the genre.
also, if you're gonna base a show in the east bay, can you please film more than 2 scenes there? NOBODY GOES TO OSCAR'S, that shit is for tourists 'cause it's iconic and mediocre. LA does not look like berkeley/oakland no matter how hard you try (not that hard).
@iantenna: I know what you mean about Parenthood, but it's the only show on TV (that I know of) that even remotely resembles my life so I've stuck with it, hoping the characters get their heads out of their asses. Plus I lurv Peter Krause so I'll watch him in just about anything.
Don't get me started on filming a show where it's supposed to take place. As much as I enjoy Bones, every episode I grind my teeth at mention of specious Mid-Atlantic place names.
yes, peter krause is the best. sports night! high five!
Years ago, this list was reserved for Rula Lenska and Monti Rock III.
Mr. Oudemia forced me to watch some elderly episode of Doctor Who and I started screaming because Rula Lenska was on it. Whoever knew what she did but emerge from airplanes with lustrous hair?
Rula Lenska was also one of stars of the fabulous 'Rock Follies' TV show in the 70s.
@Lee: Yanks only know her from the Vo5 commercials. You should know by now that appearances on fake Brit TV mean nothing to us.

Sadly I could not find the one where she proclaims "Friends are in from America!"
AND for you Monti fans

I got Bruno Mars confused with Bruno Kirby.
SO DID I!
How.. wha.. Taylor Swift.. are you court-ordered not to turn on a radio ever?
Very recent history.
I'll re-use this one: Hoda Kotb is like the worst Scrabble rack I ever had.
Minka Kelly is currently Esquire's SEXIEST WOMAN ALIVE and my first thought when I got the issue was "Who the fuck is Minka Kelly?" so you're not alone.
They seemed to have told you right there on the cover.
you don't watch fantastic television shows about american football on principle, eh?
She is gorgeous, and a very good actress too.
Tyra's also rather lovely.
Please. Like you don't know Aby Rosen!
SEOHHH!
Sheldon Adelson is a Jewish guy unless she's a chick in which case she's an English model.
Either way, s/he probably owns the Miami Heat.
My second thought when I get those issue is "Does this mean that (previous honorees) Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel aren't sexy anymore or are they dead?"
Is it too late to add Charles Nelson Reilly to the list?
Despite the Dead Milkmen song I never had any idea who he was.
Oh, Flashman, if I could, I would sit you down for an afternoon of Match Game, tea, and sandwiches.
Charles Nelson Reilly and Paul Lynde were my cathode ray babysitters.
Match Game? Cathode rays? He voiced King Llort in A Troll in Central Park, people!
@dntsqz: Hollywood Squares! "I'll take Charo for the block, Peter."
@Bittersweet Yes. Speaking of which someone please tell us why so long since Klausner-kontent here?
They are all new models of Cylons.
