Here is a recent article from deceiver.com about Pete Sampras, an ex-tennis pro, who is married to actress Bridgette Wilson. It's not that great, but it's just shocking to hear someone famous, fed up with the jerks around them"
"Over the last few weeks, Tina Fey has managed to parlay her slight resemblance to Sarah Palin into something that has eluded Fey for at least 10 years: fame. And you know who doesn’t like it? Her fellow Greek-American Pete Sampras!
I know, I had to Google him too. He used to be a professional tennis player, and now he’s… a former professional tennis player. The other night some kid from TMZ followed Sampras around the streets of Malibu with a camera, because that’s what TMZ does, and Sampras raised the kid’s ire by yelling, “Go McCain!” Here’s the ensuing conversation:
TMZ: Alright, so you’re, like, one of my first people to ever get… say they were a Republican, or goin’ for McCain and Sarah Palin. What do you think about, uh, Tina Fey playing her on Saturday Night Live?
Sampras: I, I didn’t see it.
TMZ: You haven’t seen it?
Sampras: No.
TMZ: It’s all over the Internet, man.
Sampras: Really? I don’t know Tina Fey. Is she a Greek gal?
TMZ: No, she just won, like, 20 Emmys the other night for 30 Rock.
Sampras: What’s an Emmy?
TMZ: [laughs] “What’s an Emmy.”
Sampras: Well, I don’t, I, listen, listen, okay? I’m an athlete. I win or I lose. I’m not objective in votes and all that crap.
TMZ: Right, it’s all based on your skills.
Sampras: You figured it out.
TMZ: So, what do you think about the acting role? You think that it’s not based on her skill at all?
Sampras: They’re very skillful. I admire all actors. I just don’t believe in their political views.
TMZ: You don’t believe in their political–
Sampras: I don’t.
TMZ: You think, uh, sports people should take more of a political view?
Sampras: No, I don’t. Watch the car.
TMZ: You don’t think sports people should speak out? Nobody should speak out.
Sampras: No.
TMZ: Kinda like Kid Rock. He recently said that he doesn’t value any of their opinions.
Sampras: I don’t.
TMZ: Alright, man, well… I wish–
Sampras: Got that? You take that to the bank.
TMZ: I wish you, John McCain, and Sarah Palin all the greatest luck.
Sampras: Hey. Experience.
TMZ: Experience. Alright, man. Have a good one."
Pretty dumb interview- I don't know why the TMZ guy was pushing that Tina Fey crap so much. But there's one celebrity not on the idiot-sheep list.
