Mr. T, who was famous from the hit show A-Team, did a variety of different jobs before becoming Bosco 'B.A.' Baracus on The A-Team. He was a military policeman in the US Army, a bouncer and a bodyguard for stars such as Michael Jackson, Muhammad Ali and Diana Ross. Mr. T's real name is Laurence Tureaud, which he changed in 1970 to Laurence Tero and then eventually to Mr.T, so people would call him "Mr."

Mr. T is currently living in Sherman Oaks, California and is single. He visits Chicago occasionally to spend time with his family and his daughter Lesa. He also does a lot of community work and can often be found helping abused children in a shelter in Los Angeles. He does not smoke, drink or do drugs as he is very conscious about his image as many children admire him.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight Mr. T discussed how he has been diagnosed with a rare from of lymphoma. He was diagnosed with this in 1995 at age 43 and receives daily chemotherapy at a L.A. hospital.

Whatever Happened To Rapper Vanilla Ice
Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Rob Van Winkle, is best known for his 1990 smash hit "Ice Ice Baby." When Van Winkle first hit stardom at the tender age of 21-years-old, he took a beating from critics who called the rapper an imposter for appropriating a black art form. Van Winkle just taunted them back: "To the people that try to hold me down, kiss my white butt," he shouted after accepting an American Music Award in January 1991.

After the public drew tired of Van Winkle's act, his career took a nosedive. He got involved with heroin, cocaine and Ecstasy, which almost killed him. He was saved by friends who rushed him to the hospital. The whole episode was a valuable lesson for Van Winkle who realized that life was not about money.

Today he lives in Florida with his wife Laura, 30, their daughters, Dusti Rain, 5, and Keelee Breeze, 2, and a number of pets, including a kangaroo named Bucky. In his leisure, Van Winkle hang-glides, watercraft, snowboards and races motocross professionally. He even appears as one of the motocross racers in the PlayStation game "Championship Motocross," released in 2001, which features a hardcore version of "Ice Ice Baby."

Van Winkle also recently started a real estate company that helps develop homes. He also is still performing and touring to promote his new double CD Bi-Polar, which is a rap-heavy metal sound. He describes his new album as a continuation of 1998's Hard to Swallow, a CD that featured songs such as "A.D.D." (for Attention Deficit Disorder, a condition from which he suffers), which included the lyric, "I just can't hide from myself."

In retrospect, Van Winkle mostly blames the music industry for the hardships he has faced. When asked why he went along with the image they created for him, he says he did it for money. "I think anybody, given the opportunity -- no matter who you are -- would've done the same damn thing at my age, for millions of dollars," Van Winkle says. But today, he says, he's a different man. "I'm more concerned with just keepin' it real."

Whatever Happened To Actor Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid)
Ralph George Macchio who is also known as "The Karate Kid," was born in Long Island, New York in 1961. He started his careers by appearing in many commercials. When he was 19 years old he got his first role in a television show called "Eight is Enough."

After being in the series he received a part in the movie "The Outsiders," in which he played the role of Johnny Cade. His biggest break was when he got a role in one of the biggest blockbusters of all time, "The Karate Kid."

However, his career slowly started to dwindle after this. He also starred in the two sequels of the movie but nothing measured up to the first one. Macchio found it difficult to get serious roles in movies because of his youthful appearance.

Macchio found he had an interest in theatre and starred in the play "Cuba and His Teddy Bear," opposite Robert DeNiro. He also was in the musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" in 1996 in which he toured 39 cities.

Ralph Macchio got married in 1987 to Phyllis Fiero. He has two children named Daniel and Julia. One of his latest movies is "Can't be Heaven" in which he plays a jazz saxophone player that comes back from the dead.

The President was out walking on a beautiful snowy day, when he saw that somebody had urinated on the White House lawn to spell out "The President Sucks." Infuriated, he called on the secret service to figure out who had done it. In a few hours, they came to him and told him that there was some bad news and some worse news.
"The bad news is that the urine is from the Vice President."

"Al? How could you do this to me? What could be worse than this?"

"The handwriting's the first lady's."

The real name of "the" Bill Gates is William Henry Gates III. Nowadays he is known as Bill Gates (III). By converting the letters of his current name to the ASCII-values and adding his (III), you get the following:


B 66
I 73
L 76
L 76
G 71
A 65
T 84
E 69
S 83
I 1
I 1
I 1
--------------
666 !!!

Some might ask, "How did Bill Gates get so powerful?" Coincidence? Or just the beginning of mankind's ultimate and total enslavement???
Before you decide, consider the following:


M S - D O S 6 . 3 1

77+83+45+68+79+83+32+54+46+50+49 = 666


W I N D O W S 9 5

87+73+78+68+79+87+83+57+53+1 = 666

Coincidence? You decide..

If you bought $1000 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.
If you bought $1000 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not the stock) one year ago,
drank all the beer, and traded in the cans for the nickel deposit, you would have $79.
My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

''I'd be painting more, but the bucket keeps getting farther and farther away!'''

A secretary for a foreign embassy was entertaining a wealthy foreign ambassador during lunch at a very expensive restaurant in uptown New York.
The ambassador was so enthralled by the beauty and presence of this secretary that he asked her to marry him. The secretary was startled, but remembered that her boss told her never to insult foreign dignitaries, so she decided to let him down easy.

"I'll only marry you under three conditions."

"Anything, anything," said the ambassador.

"First, you must buy me a 14-karat gold wedding band with a 72 carat diamond, along with a 28 inch studded matching necklace for our engagement."

Without hesitation, the ambassador picked up his cellular phone, called his personal accountant, told him the instructions, and said, "Yes, yes, I buy, I buy!"

The secretary thought that her first request was too easy, so she thought of a more difficult situation.

"Second, I want you to build me a 58-acre mansion in the richest part of the Poconos along with a 40 acre summer home in the sweetest vineyards of France."

The ambassador picked up his phone, called his personal broker in New York, then called another broker in France, and after his quick conversation, he said, "Yes, yes, I build, I build!"

The secretary was very startled, and knew she must think of a final request that would be impossible to live up to.

"Finally," she said. "I'll only marry you if you have a 10 inch penis."

A sad face befell the ambassador, and he cupped his face in his hands. After weeping in his native language for a few minutes, the ambassador slowly lifted his head and said, "Ok, ok, I cut, I cut!"
