Do you know any secrets about famous people that they would rather you didn’t? I have it on _very_ reliable authority that Martha Stewart **picks her nose.** Not just a subtle little poke around the nostril entrance but right on in there! Admittedly, coming from the UK I don’t actually know who Martha Stewart is but I am told she would not like this to come out one little bit. If you don’t have any real gos try to imagine secrets you wished you knew. I would love to discover that the Queen does really smelly farts in public, but Prince Phillip, always the gentleman, claims them for himself. ---

My sister lived with Noah Wyle’s cousin. Their family is unbelieveably rich, and the main reason he’s in the business is family connections. And he hates the family, and could only deal with my sister’s roomie. So he’d come over for coffee all the time. I have scrubs he stole from the set and signed for me. 🙂 Not exactly Martha Stewart going for a booger, though. ---

A friend of a friend went to interview Martha Stewart, and she served him _instant coffee_! (Friend of a friend? Urban Legend? Naah!) ---

One of the guys I played ball with in college that is now in the NBA had a thing for Queen Latifah. Oooh, scandalous. * * * We went right out there and refused to do accoustical versions of the electrical songs that we had refused to record in the first place. ---

A secret service agent told a friend of my dry cleaner, who told the UPS man that delivered the ThighMaster to my neighbor, who told me, that Ronald Reagan used to strip, put on a saddle, and let Nancy, clad only in a French maid’s uniform and thigh high patent leather boots, ride him all around the Oval Office while saying “More jelly beans, Mommy, more jelly beans! That’ll show those damn Commies.” I, of course, believe every word of it. ---

OK, I don’t want this to turn into a “Great Debates” kind of thing, but Tom Cruise, gay or not? A friend of mine who has “connections” in Los Angeles swears he has a “posse” of people that go scope out the gay bars on his behalf. ---

Tom Cruise - with a surname like that - who knows?! I remember seeing an interview with him (Oprah?) in which he described a romantic evening with Nicole and he said that they read to each other. Now I’m a big advocate of reading, but if I were with Nicole Kidman for a romantic evening…well, let’s just say reading is well down the list, OK? * * * The Scots - never trust a race whose national dress includes a concealed knife. ---

I saw that same interview with Oprah, I think…was it the Interview with the Vampire one where the guy in the audiance stood up and asked him when he was going to come out or something? * * * “Satan – I’ve had enough of your two cents!” – The hilarious Federalist [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/celebs-would-rather-you-didnt-know/15932.md?page=2)
