If you had to marry a celebrity, who would it be?


message 804: by Jane (new)

Jane | 221 comments If I was really forced to marry a celebrity I'd immediately go for Pierce Brosnan. Not only is he in my age range but is involved in some of the same environmental groups I am. And seems to be an all around nice and smart man. It would of course be a horrible sacrifice :)!
