There's also the Louis C. K. joke: "a man is as faithful as his options." Even if celebs displayed a Gaussian distribution of character, a far greater number of them would make spectacularly bad life decisions just based on access. It's harder for Dorothy in Kansas to get up to no good.

Or, perhaps, it just doesn't make the national news when a non-celebrity does the same thing.

Here's an odd one: Neil Hope, who was on Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High, has died.

The odd part? He died in 2007 and his family is only now confirming it.

A real shame.

I'm not a Mets fan, but I always liked Carter.

I am not a Mets fan either. He usually beat my favorite team. I really enjoyed his passion for baseball and his will to win.

John Fairfax, 74. This guy was secretly the inspiration for the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in the World.

That Times piece is supposedly the more "conservative" telling of his life's tale. Bravo, Mr Fairfax. Bravo.

Wow. It's wrong how hilarious that is.
