Jennifer Aniston isnt quite a big holywood star yet - shes still a tv star over anything else.

I never knew Collin Farrell did Ballykissangel - you wouldnt think he would have with his wild reputation - he wasnt playing a preist was he?

Paltrow is only big because of her parents and Pitt.

If I'm correct it was 21 Jump Street, but he didn't get his start there.

He first appeared in Nightmare on Elm Street.

You should know never to say anything about the Irish when there is an Irishman present and being Irish myself I take offense to that comment.
