Came across an article a while ago listing all the celebrity fans of Alabama and Notre Dame. ND obviously has many annoying band wagoners and some stars were bound to pop up, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a number of UA grads and just UA fans existed in Tinsel Town and the beyond.
Obviously Hollywood is a long way from the Mason Dixon line but this region has sent people onto fame and with our recent title blitz, have picked up non-native fans all over the country. Who are you aware of in the entertainment world or popular culture in general, pull for your school.
RULES
-graduates welcome but I'd love to here about non alumni fans
-no athletes from the school please.
-alive is preferable
Alabama
Jimmy Wales - founder of wikipedia (also went to the barn but he cheers on UA)
Taylor Hicks - American Idol winner (Birmingham native)
Melissa Joan Hart - Clarissa and Sabrina (married into Bama nation)
Courtney Cox - Monica Geller (Birmingham native)
Condoleezza Rice - Secretary of State (also holds a bachelors from Notre Dame, but is an avid Tide supporter)
Sela Ward - CSI NY - (grad and a cheerleader)
Kathryn Stockett - Author of The Help (was horrified to discover her editor made her book cover purple and gold)
Channing Tatum - 21 Jump Street (actually the jury is out for this Cullman native but he has been seen in Tide gear on several occasions.)
Charlie Sheen - 2 and half men, winning! (turned towards the Tide after the April 27th tornados)
Good ones so far

that would explain why my iPhone ring mysteriously became the Price Is Right failure sound effect after the 2010 Iron Bowl.

from OP
unfortunately Daly is a former Hog and as athletic of a human being as there has ever been so I don't think he qualifies for this thread

Pretty much every country music artist out there is a fan of some SEC school. Arkansas has Joe Nichols and Justin Moore.
Also Johnny Cash but he dead.
