Imagine years ago you were a fortune teller and able to give three obscure predictions or suggestions to a current or future celebrity.

Name the celebrity and make the three predictions/suggestions obscure…for instance, instead of blatantly telling a young, unknown Eddie Murphy to make sure he signed onto SNL, shouldn’t make Pluto Nash or pick up transvestite hookers, you would have said:

“I see in the crystal ball that Saturday nights are good for you, but beware of the canine in alien fleet and never give bones to bitches with meat.”

Tom Cruise:

“I see in the crystal ball that you should take risk in business and rock in your shorts, but beware of the couch and leaps of faith – there is a difference between science and sci-fi.”
