Yeah, I live somewhere that doesn't have easy access to guns - I mean, if you really want one you can get one, it's just not as easy as the US. I've thought about all the times I've been threatened and attacked with a 'weapon' - knives, crowbars, a wrench once... If they'd been guns, I think my chances of surviving would be far less and my injuries are worse than merely a couple of very faint scars...

Yes, me too, and this is 100% correct. Most celebrities actually just, you know, hop in their cars and drive wherever they want to go. Which can actually lead to cool moments, like me driving down the street I live on (uneventful small street in Hwd Hills), waiting to turn left, someone turns right onto the street, so we come abreast, him and me and it's BRAD PITT, wut??? (he owns a house somewhere in the nabe). Brad is cool in aviator sunglasses, I have a facial expression I can only describe as "bovine."

I've worked in Hwd for 30 years and have worked with or run into everyone and anyone, and yeah, 0.0% "bodyguards." Even the rappers don't drive with bodyguards, you see them cruising in their Bentleys or whatever. Or in Nordstrom. Seriously, sat next to Pharrell in the shoe department. No one says a thing.

Best sighting this week is my husband's, Dupar's in Studio City, there's Kareem at the pie counter. And yeah, no one's bugging him, and zero bodyguards. He's just getting some of that sweet boysenberry goodness, just like you and me. Only a bit taller.
