Did you recognize more celebrities in the In Memoriam segment than during the Oscars awards ceremony? Welcome to the Celebrity Generation Gap.I try to keep up but cant shake the feeling that Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling are the same guy.I only recently became able to distinguish between Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslett.The celebrity generation gap goes both ways, though.My pal Chuck jokingly asked his buildings porter, a young guy of 23 with last name Loren, if he was any relation to Sophia.Who?And last year, I told a colleague how excited I was that Senior Planet get an interview with Ann-Margret.Whos that?Color me astonished, but my younger friends probably feel the same way when I ask if thats Kirsten Stewart or Jenna Malone.YOUR TURNBut thats me.
