I'm looking for celebrities who are studying / learning Chinese Mandarin, both currently and in the past. Also, do you know of celebrities who can actually speak Chinese Mandarin?

Mira Sorvino was born in Tenafly, an affluent northern New Jersey suburb, in 1967. She is the daughter of veteran character actor Paul Sorvino, who discouraged her from becoming an actor, as he knew how the industry often chews up young stars. The young Sorvino was intelligent, an avid reader and an exceptional scholar. She attended Harvard, majoring in Chinese, graduating magna *** laude in 1989, largely on the strength of her thesis, a Hoopes Prize-winning thesis on racial conflict in China, written and researched during the year spent in Beijing, which helped her fluency in Mandarin Chinese.

As a celebrity.....I'm too busy to answer this question in depth...because I am also a normal person as in regular as any of you out there...And due to this reason, I like to waste time on just any web site as any one of you do..It's a break for me to not have to answer any personal question only directed towards me just because some people think I'm more important than any other regular Joe or Jane....I'm a celebrity only because of the public...Not because I chose to be...I feel less than an "important" person....Because I can't live the "normal" life....My e-mail address is even faked, by using an alias of some "probably" retired couple just so that I don;t get flooded with e-mails....I can't even use my real name! Pretty sad life!
