Hi, and welcome to the TZM Deluxe Celebrity Bus Tour, the only tour in which
you visit not the homes of the stars themselves but the homes of the
people who work for the stars and relatives of those people. Step right up and
grab a seat and a star map. First up today is the home of the person who
walks the dog belonging to Oscar-winning actress Annie Fingers. And there
he is now and that's Muffins, Annie Fingers's dog, that he's walking! What a
thrill! What do you have to say for yourself, sir?
What's that you're going to break my what if I don't get out of here? Ladies
and gentlemen, we have a slight change of plan for our four today. Rather
than spend time with Annie Fingers's dog walker, we're going immediately to
item 2 on your map, the neighbor of the sister of the person who styles the
hair of pro football star Doug Bullvon. Step back in the bus, and we'll be there
in no time!
