Are most comedians really all sad and depressed?
Q. I have just finished reading a biography of Bill Hicks and it seems his life was rather an unhappy one even before his illness. In fact many great comics seem to have a reputation for great unhappiness off stage. Richard Pryor John Belushi Jerry Sadowitz Rob Newman Jo Brand and many more Do you think that people who have a tendency towards depression are attracted to comedy or do you think that it is the work that makes you sad after a while?

A. I have often pondered on this question, and I would like to imagine them to be funny and happy all the time, but like you sair, Bill Hicks had an unhappy life as did and do other comedians. I think maybe a reason for this is that their whole life is comedy, and they get sick of it when they are just relaxing in normal life, it is probably a psychological thing, where they automatically decide to not make jokes, or they see the world in a glass half empty sort of way. To become a comedian they must of had to be funny in the first place. It also depends on what the comedian jokes about, because comedians such as Russell Howard joke about silly things and happy things, and as far as I know he doesn't have a tendency to be depressed, I think… [cont.]

Have you ever been chatted up by or dated a celebrity?
Q. So have you? Mine is not that exciting I was chatted up and bought drinks by James May from top gear all night fairly recently in a bar in Hammersmith London. He was a really nice guy but old enough to be my Dad! He did ask for my number but he was rather drunk at the time! A close friend of mine faired rather better and snogged Damon Albarn from Blur at a party a good few years ago and another friend dated the actor Christopher Eccleston and had a one off date with the comedian Rob Newman - who was a prat apparently! Anyway what about you boys and girls? Ever been flirted with by a celeb? Wow MSM back in those days? Nice one!

Are There Not Enough Women Of VICTOR NEWMAN's Age Around GENOA CITY ...?
Q. Has he now resorted to 'robbing the cradle'? On that note, I don't think that Victor is really in love with Sabrina; I think she makes him feel young, and he's all puffed up with the knowledge that a younger woman is paying so much attention to him! He likes the fact that somebody who doesn't know him is letting him take control, letting him shape and mold her, like Nikki did in the beginning! I think that Sabrina probably feels secure when she's with Victor, but I don't think she's in love with him. I think that a month 1/2 is way too short a time for her to know everything she needs to know about the dark knight! I think she should've been really, really concerned when he told her today something about he always gets what he wants,… [cont.]

Charles Woodson got robbed, AGAIN?
Q. Now don't get me wrong, Al Harris and Marcus Trufant were having great seasons and earned their pro bowl berth, but how does Charles Woodson lead the fan voting by almost 100,000 votes in his category, and get replaced by Terrance Newman??? Now Newman is no sloutch, but Woodson had a much better year with 4 picks, 2 for touchdowns, and he and Al Harris every game shut down the best receivers for the opposing teams. Once again he gets robbed again after his great 8 pick performance last year.

A. Soembody robbed Charles Woodson? Home invasion? Carjacking? What happened? Ohhh, the Pro Bowl. He himself set the bar high with 8 picks last year. If that wasn't enough last year... That alone may have cut into his consideration. He's very good, but he wasn't robbed.

He knows the Soc s are always out. Roaming town, robbing and getting drunk. I can t bring myself even close to believe that he would be out alone. They. The Soc s...could catch up to him, and...
