*Note: without stumbling on her blog post I wouldn't have known what day & what time he was even going to be presenting this week?! We now have all Celeb Watchers warned in Stavanger--that he may be wearing shades or a ball cap or a scarf or be carrying a guitar...I did not know either he had a modern country band?! Nor really did I know he'd gone from Waterworld the movie to Water Cleaning Companies for real either?!
