I guess this could have gone into Cafe Society too - your call, mods.
In this Dear Prudence column, a woman says she is considering a fling with an unnamed celeb.
Lower down in the column, the woman says it is NOT one of the 3 celebs that Emily Yoffe names as possibilities (Charlie Sheen, Mel Gibson, Mike Tyson). We’re pretty smart here; who is it?
Derek Jeter?
Don’t think he’s known as a “bad boy” to women as described in the article. Nor has he served jail time for “outbursts”.
Me. But I’m not about to disclose my real name. I’m already too busy screwing all the chicks throwing themselves at me. I don’t need anymore.
Sean Penn
That’s a good possibility.
I’d guess an athlete.
I’m thinking Sean Penn, too. All the points are covered, intense, devoted to several causes, has committed violence against women (not sure if he’s ever done time, though I would assume he has)…
Tiger Woods?
I don’t think Sean Penn’s ever been to jail, has he? (I’m no authority on this stuff, but I think he’s one of the finest actors in the world, so I tend to notice stuff to do with him and I think I’d have noticed that…)
They met where she was doing volunteer work. So who’s doing community service right now?
Oops, I checked Wikipedia and Sean Penn has been to jail, for assaulting a photographer. It was back in 1987, so before I was exactly paying attention.
Is there any reason to believe that there’s any truth to this letter, though? I always assumed that these ‘Dear X’ letters are mostly made up.
Even if it’s not entirely made up it could just be some guy who resembles a celebrity. She doesn’t sound too bright, she’d fall for that.
Hugh Grant? Eddie Murphy?
By that same token, it could be a “hey, it’s that guy” kind of actor who’s played a bunch of ex-cons and inmates.
What about Colin Farrell? He’s been to jail before I think, and according to his Wiki page, was involved in an Irish LGBT fundraiser in 2012 (don’t know how active he currently is though).
Jon Gosselin?
It also could be Nicolas Cage.
Fatty Arbuckle?
(sometimes letters get lost in the mail for a while)
James Otto?
