Six Degrees of K.B.

Kevin Bacon lost his Blackberry. Actually it was stolen from him at a subway station in NYC. Someone had the nerve to grab his phone and take off with it down the street. They say smokin’ Bacon ran after him, but lucky for the thug…Kevin never caught him. The guy obviously never saw Kevin Bacon in the movie “The River Wild”...cuz if he did…he would have known he was messin' with one bad ass narly dude.

The obvious and most interesting angle about this story is… the names and phone numbers that Kevin has stored in his phone. Kevin Bacon’s Contact List. I’m sure he’s got some big, big names and some sexy celebs listed. Everyone is linked directly, indirectly, to, and through Kevin Bacon…it’s the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Theory. The theory has been tested and retested and and is offered as a graduate course at MIT.

Maybe Kevin has Brad Pitt’s phone number…but then again NOT. Brad might be too pretty for the nitty gritty Kevin. Kevin doesn’t wear a scarf around his neck like Hollywood Brad in Cannes, France…unless he needs it to tie a tourniquet.

Kevin also has a foot loose in the music world…so ya know he’s sure to have some cool band name contacts. And I’m not talking Kris the American Idol winner who should have come in second Allen. (That’s another blog.)

This makes me think about Kat’s Contact List. I’ve got lots of valuable contacts stored in my phone and I’ sure there are a lot of people out there who would pay good money to get their grubby hands on it. Let’s see… I’ve got the high school guidance counselor’s direct line. A very serious contact. It’s no laughing matter when you need advice on how many times your kid should retake the SAT.

I’ve got my golf peeps teed up at the top of my contact list….Pia, Eva, Linnyj, and Juanita. No…mis amigas are not from Mexico…they just sound like they are. Most importantly, they are willing to play a round of golf at a moments notice…and pay their golf debts in margaritas. Who wouldn’t want their numbers?

I’ve got sexy PaulA…on speed dial. His number is a coveted phone number for those needing a quote on a ten million dollar construction job in Dubai. And kids needing cash. Priceless.

The people on Kevin Bacon’s contact list just might want to think about changing their phone numbers now that they’re out...otherwise, they might get cranked called from random imposter Kevin Bacons.

Kevin continues to be a living breathing social network...the new Facebook. The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Theory stands strong.
