Today: Return of the Jedi Alumni
Celebrities make too much money. Subjective, sure, but probably true. Truer still is that very often those fortunes are wasted in inglorious, ill-planned blazes.
But sometimes the millions serve a higher purpose; sixth homes declined in favor of the public that makes a celebrity a celebrity. Yet where are those figures in Star and the National Enquirer?
Screw Birkin bags, time for money that counts: political donations.

$599? That's it?! I've donated more than that and I'm pretty sure I don't have the kind of money Mr. Jones has.
Hey Cord… just curious as to why you use the year 1978? Is that as far back as the records go… the year you were born… what? Thanks.
I'm more intrigued that Billy Dee Williams wanted to start a teapot collection.
I can totally see Landau in a cape - surrounded by teapots, moving the one in his hand talking like Angela Lansbury. Oh, and wearing a shorty cape.
Does that cape have a fur collar and a velvet lining? I guess I'm not surprised by the teapots after all.
Cord's ignoring me again. I was very polite…
This feature is even greater than the Commies! Except… I mean, most of the altruistic people I know donate copious amounts to charities and none to political campaigns, so it's hard to judge..
PS
What happened to our much-loved, masked actor? Has he died of malnutrition? I miss him.
Maybe he got an actual movie part and he thinks he's too good for us?
I really can't believe that that's all that JEJ has donated. Wow.
Sugar I believe it's 1978 because that's the year after Star Wars was released…when they started making enought money to contribute.(just a guess)
although, lando calrissian wasn't in the first one.
Cord used 1978 in the first doody post as well. I really am curious. C'mon Cord… inquiring minds and all that.
ooooh, didn't realiz that.

Maybe this is why.
And the mystery is solved! Thanks, playla. Now I'll be able to sleep tonight! :)
Thanks, Cord. I mean, Playla. At least she cares to answer us. I feel as though I may have poked a sleeping bear with my sarcasim. Hmm. But probably not.
Suck it, juju.
Best,
Cord
no problem, it's not like I have anything else to do…oh yeah, besides work.
I'm going to close my eyes and pretend it was a real besting. A moment por favor.
Here's a tissue, juj. You have a little something in your eye.
