    ooooh nice!!! Brad Pitt is obviously taken, but George Clooney only has 4 more years to get married and have kids or he is going to owe Nicole Kidman $20,000 on a bet he made in his 30's.

    LOL Actually the bet was $10,000 by the time he turned 40. When he turned 40, Nicole Kidman sent him a $10,000 check and he sent it back to her offering her double or nothing by his 50th b'day.

    There's a list out there that shows famous Arsenal fans. I think it was on Arseweb.com. Can't really remember.

    I always thought Martin Tyler may have been a Gooner, He always seems to mention Arsenal every time he commentates, i also remember hearing him go crazy when Kanu scored his Hatrick against chelsea.

    Its not really a worthwhile exercise in my opinion to ask which famous Americans are gooners... just because someone wears a soccer jersey once doesnt make them a gooner... most of these American actors or celebrities go to a game or two while in London and often are presented with a jersey that they are photographed wearing... if you ask them two years later what team they saw, I guarantee you they won't remember. They do the same stuff at basketball, hockey, and football games in the US.

    On the British side, I know that Mackenzie Crook, who played Gareth on the Office, is apparently a hard core Gunners fan.

    Are you sure Elijah Wood is a Hammers fan? I know he was just in a movie about West Ham hooligans but I didn't realize he really was a Hammers fan as well?

    True. I think Freddie Prinz goes to matches though. Not sure about all the others.
