Another Top 30!

I saw my old boss (as in he used to be my boss, not that he is eldery) this week for lunch. Seeing Randy reminded me of our many lists. One of those incomplete lists was of the coolest celebrities of all time. So, I thought I'd complete it. So now, another Top 30...

My Top 30 Coolest Celebrities

The criteria is really untangible. These celebrities just have "it:" a calculated cool, a smooth sauve, a allure of attitude. They are just cool. They define cool. You'll notice that it my definition of cool, it apparently helps to be black or British. And I am taking Jesus out of the running from the get-go. We all know he's cool.
