2. Re: #1. Nah bro.. that is Kevin Bacon. Check out the wrinkles, much older than Brady. LOL.

As to the article.. Just goes to show money and intelligence don't hand in hand. Even idiots like me knew to invest in safe government backed securities like cash, bonds, treasuries, etc. months ago. Didn't need to pay some schmo like Madoff to figure that out. I'm sure the Bacons only lost like 2-3 mil or so. Kevin Bacon has done many films but even he admits he's not on the top of the celeb pay scale and neither is his wife. Don't think he lost that much - but I could be wrong! LOL.

3. Easy come, easy go. I'd be more sympathetic if it wasn't just a couple of actors who make so much from doing so little.

6. xcalibur...let's set it straight...I am a girl...I used "Wrong Guy" as a name because that's the wrong guy. I don't see what you mean about the wrinkles, your computer must be clearer than mine. The story is about Kevin Bacaon...but that IS Tom Brady...this picture is from a story TMZ had a few days ago on him.

Trust me...it's Tom.

8. How is what Madoff did any different that the Social Security pyramid scheme?

Madoff actually tried to make money for his clients, and he will be prosecuted, unlike CONgress.

9. Can't really be too sympatheic for him or the others.

Basically they were trying to get something for nothing.

There were people interviewed when this first came out that even admitted they wondered how they were getting such high returns on their money. They knew something couldn't be on the right but didn't care because they kept seeing the money grow. It's what greed gets you.

Many of these celebrities were probably ignorant to what the deal was (cause let's face it, there are not many bright bulbs on the hollywood sign) but I'm sure there were plenty that knew those were way too high returns to be "true" but didn't care about the "hows" or " whys" cause it was just more money.

Then you would also think that with so many having had their money stolen that others would have learned to take a more active role in what they have. Guess not and that's their fault.

They should follow the example of us commoners and balance a check book every once in a while to get a clue could help in the long run....but that reverts back to the "not to many bright bulbs...." situation.

Kinda have to giggle at the downfall of egos.

Like the saying goes..."if it seems too good to be true....."

12. I feel bad for Kevin Bacon and his wife. Yes, they are rich, but it still does not make it right for someone to steal their money. Plus, Kevin and his wife seem very chill. They are not one of those acting couples that makes just asinine salaries, you never see them out fame-whoring, they seem to live a rather quiet life for two hollywood actors. Besides, how can you steal 'Ren's' money? That is just wrong.

13. That pic is not of Tom Brady, it's Kevin Bacon.

15. I feel very sorry for these guys, they aren't the richest actors and they are both very talented. Hope they didn't have too much of their stuff in with that fund.

Those who hate on peope who worked their asses off and made it (Kevin and Kyra didn't start out with millions) need to remember what Yogi Berra said, when he said he'd feel bad for a millionaire who lost their money.

"Imagine having a million dollars. Imagine that. Now imagine losing it."

Hope they didn't lose it all.

PS Tremors is one of my favorite movies and The Closer is one of my favorite shows, but whoever gets taken by something like this it ain't right.
