A lakefront restaurant in Missouri was abuzz this week when a sleek, purple Carrera speed boat roared in across the water, and the person docking was "Flight" creator and actress Vanna Bonta.
"My daughter knew right off," said one patron, proudly. "She said that's Vanna Bonta. It's pronounced VAHna, you know." It seems the kids, and especially girls, are smitten with her. "It's Vanna Bonta. She's all girl but geek creative."
Other locals admit they've asked to have their pictures taken with the blonde writer, but admit they sometimes just quietly snap their own souvenirs. "We got her coming and going," said one local.
So what is it about Midwest? Brangelina were reportedly house hunting in Missouri last month. Is this a Hollywood trend? Brad is from Missouri, and supposedly wanted a place where his parents can see the kids more often. Pitt may have also been researching the famous Missouri-born gun slinger, Jesse James, who he plays in the feature ( Assassination of Jesse James) due out in 2007.
Apparently, the Midwest, called America's Heartland, has a lot to offer. "Mark Twain was from here," a local informed, and listed a few other Missouri claims to fame. "We have TS Eliot. Chuck Berry. Walt Disney grew up here. Robert Heinlein called it home."
Another explained defensively, "This isn't about Hollywood. Vanna Bonta comes here to write. We see her at Denny's, drinking coffee, she's good folks just like anybody else around here."
Sounds like 'nuff said.
No confirmation was available about whether Bonta has wrapped recording the audio book version of her novel "Flight" in Los Angeles.
Rumor has it the multi-talented voice talent, who moonlighted on Walk the Line, The Omen and Take the Lead earlier this year, is known to call time-outs for "solitude."
Legends about the poetic Bonta flying in zero gravity, drinking vodka with astronauts, chasing the solar eclipse to Africa, being navel-less like the heroine of her space adventures, Aira Flight, and inventing space wear to help colonize weightless environments, to name a few, make it a probable guess the brainiac is no doubt busy making waves to rock dreams.

OMG. How can people be so rude? if they felt that way they'd have a little respect and wouldn't be sneaking pics of Vanna Bonta but who cares as long as we get to see them!! Bonta , wow other tabloid women are bland compared. With the exception of Jolie. Angie has it going on too. Good story and soooo much better than reading about Jessica Simpson's zit or Katie Holmes shopping whooopdeedo (unless we can know what she bought) .
Well yeah but wish the picture was better.
i bet she can drink anyone under the table and rosie odonnell or scarlett johanssen wouldn\'t mind doing her
oh god, not Vanna Bonta again. TO THE WEBMASTER, stop publishing stories about this nobody just because Vanna sends them to you. She is NOT famous. There is no one on this planet who knows who she is. There is not ONE PICTURE of her with an actual celeb. she is NOBDOY.
LOLOL! hey the nutcake is back. he's getting more desperate yelling. musta overdosed on too much parasite hilton. you're not making sense now sicko weeeeeerdo so desparate
hehheh. We know who YOU are SDF and YOU are nobody. And the day I see a picture of Vanna Bonta with Nicole Ritchie or Paris Hilton or the Simpson pimpettes I will throw away all Bonta books & DVDs. Well..maybe not. I\'ll just figure Bonta is doing research.

Vanna Bonta gets coffee at D e n n y s? you\\\'d think she\\\'d be at Starbucks sheeesh. OK guess I\\\'m going to Denny\\\'s now. LOVED the pictures Angelina and Brad sent in from India of them on a rickshaw. Oh, was that the rickshaw driver than emailed them? or their agent? Or maybe sdf who thinks Angie is fugly. aaaacccccch-elous (to quote Julia Roberts) Pardon me had to sneeze.
Can I go for a ride? Love in a big way.
VB sounds like a big hype machine.
