This week’s frivolity: evidently Johnny Depp is filming in Illinois, and “got sick of drinking the local wine,” so he shipped in wine from his home in France to get him through the duration of the filming.
This quote-unquote-news, while published I suppose to publicize a celebrity’s excess (because that’s unusual), makes me wonder various things:
What Illinois wine was Johnny drinking?
Why didn’t he just direct his entourage to purchase some CA wine, rather than shipping from France?
Or was California wine the “local wine” that the source in the article was really referring to? Was this a sort of slam against all US vintners, or Illinois vintners only?
Is French wine unavailable in Illinois, requiring one to ship in one’s own?
Did Johnny expect that drinking Illinois wine would be so delightful that he would not possibly need to pack some French bottles with him for his sojourn, and was subsequently dismayed to find himself mistaken, or what?
Yet another point to further my contention that celebrities are, in reality, robots and not actual people.
Happy Humpt-Day, the ancient celebration of putting a broken egg back together again. Good luck with all that and good night.
