celebs with degrees

Here’s a list of celebs getting their college degree this month (mostly this weekend). All honorary, except for Jimmy Fallon (click on names to read the linked stories):

-Jimmy Fallon

-Dolly Parton – I hope she got this because she plays the Autoharp during her shows

-Liam Neeson

-Annie Leibovitz

-Muhammad Ali – I think this must be is second or third honorary degree

-Tony Winner Miranda Will

-Opera Soprano Sharon Sweet

-Former U.S. attorney general John Ashcroft

I’m sure I’m missing some, but that’s all I could find for now.

Congrats Grads.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.
