"famous" news and stories

It's not surprising that a lot of celebrities lend their names to various products through endorsement deals, but the growing number of celebrity wines is a rather unusual trend. From sports stars to singers, it seems like everyone wants their own chardonnay these days, and the celebs aren't just putting their name on the bottles anymore. Instead, some are buying the wineries and having a say in the wine-making process.

In some cases, it turns out that celebrities should stick with what they get paid to do, whether it is acting or singing, because the wines are not worthy of the A-list, B-list or C-list, but there are more than a handful that are really excellent and worth a taste or two. Besides, who wouldn't like to have a celebrity join them at the dinner table once in while?

Compiled by the Wall Street Journal, here is the The Dow Jones Paparazzi Wines Index, with their picks for the best celebrity wines:

Joe mentioned that New York's Carnegie Deli was planning to honor Jerry Springer with his own sandwich on their menu. Our friends at TV Squad picked up the story and ferreted out the ingredients in the sandwich. So, what's in it? It looks like Sarah was the closest of the commenters in her guess of "tongue and cheese." The official sandwich has "pastrami, tongue, baloney, Swiss Cheese and Russian dressing."

Maybe "honor" is the wrong word, given the contents of the sandwich. Adding the tongue and baloney as ingredients are a nice touch, so why don't we just say that they're trying to make him memorable.

Whether that's a good or bad thing - either the sandwich or the show - is up to you.
