Random Updates on Random Celebs

I know some members of my f-list adored Steve Valentine when he was on Crossing Jordan. You'll be happy to know he's landed on his feet in a series on Nickelodeon, a show called I'm With the Band. He plays the lead singer of a band called "Iron Weasel".

Ricky Martin has finally come out. Duh--big surprise. If the steamy scenes frolicing on the beach with his "trainer" didn't cinch it, his becoming a single daddy via a surrogate mom was a pretty big clue.

Motorcyclists = Organ Donors

My MIL just told me that a few years ago, a friend of hers needed a liver transplant. Someone pointed out to her that statistically, she was more likely to get a donor organ in Florida than in her own state. Why? Her own state requires motorcycle riders to wear helmets, and Florida doesn't.

It worked. She moved to Florida, and she got a liver from a DOA motorcyclist.
