I understand what ya'll are saying... but I just don't buy it in his case. I mean... maybe it is true, but it's not really healthy, kwim? At some point when you can't find a place to put your coffee cup down, you say to yourself, "Alright - this is just too much." And you call your friend Liz Taylor and say, "Liz, people send me stuff all the time and it's just too much. What do I do with it all?" lol

I can't imagine he is the only movie star who was sent overwhelming amounts of stuff. I remember when Princess Diana had babies and people sent thousands upon thousands of gifts, it was a pretty public thing that they then donated them on to charity. I can't imagine that he didn't have connections in his life with people who were in the same boat he was surely in, with stuff coming in the mail all the time, and who know what stars do with their unwanted stuff.

Put it on the curb? No... but... have your maid have her nephew sneak it into the back door of Goodwill as an unidentified box of schtuff... sure.

If he felt it necessary to hang on to every memento every fan sent to him - fans he would never meet and who had no place in his *real* life - that's really not healthy. To have a house so full of stuff that you can't enjoy your house is no way to live.

By the way... I'm a clutter bug myself, but I think if it got to the point that his house is in I'd go crazy.
