Prom was more about acting out some weird facsimile of adulthood: dress up like a tacky wedding party, hold hands and behave like a couple even if you've never dated, and observe the etiquette of Gilded Age debutantes thrust into modern celebrity: limos, red carpets and a constant stream of paparazzi, played by parents, teachers, and hired photo hacks. - Dave Cullen If you say a modern celebrity is an adulterer, a pervert and a drug addict, all it means is that you've read his autobiography. - P J Orourke

Oh, I wouldn't want to go on a date with a female celebrity. I'd rather go on a date with a real woman. - Casper Van Dien I know I am the first female celebrity in the world who has allowed herself to be filmed like that in an operating theatre. - Brigitte Nielsen

My family truly believes they are better cooks than I am. They see me as Giada, not as a celebrity chef. To them I'm just me - their granddaughter, niece, etc., and they're older and wiser.

That's more comfortable. - Masaharu Morimoto
