"Larry Wachowski's purported sex change is right up there with 'Paul Is Dead' and the 'Beaver Died in Vietnam.'"

So, no, it's not true.

Can't trust shocking celebrity news anymore I suppose. At least we still have the fact that Mr. Rogers was an Marine sniper.; 9/6/07, 7:45 PM

I can't tell if you were kidding or not -- but no, he wasn't. :)

I'm glad this latest rumor turned out to be false. I was almost forced to care about the Wachowskis again.; 9/7/07, 1:37 AM

Revenant said...: Jimmy Stewart was an pilot who flew over 100 combat missions and retired a general during WWII.

What's truly impressive about Stewart's military career is what he actually gave up his acting career to join the Army Air Corps nine months *before* Pearl Harbor. He saw that war was coming and wanted to be ready to help. Prior to that, he and a few other Hollywood celebrities had pooled their money to establish a training school for military pilots.

It is almost impossible to imagine a modern Hollywood celebrity showing that level of patriotism and self-sacrifice today.; 9/7/07, 3:03 PM
