IT'S GOOD TO BE RICH

Tom Hanks, Patty Smyth, Rita Wilson and John McEnroe doing a fake laugh? Our celebrity fan base is growing I guess.... (photo courtesy of Vanity Fair)

PLUCKED OFF CORK BOARD IT SEEMS.

The old Polaroid days....

THIS PRIEST LOOKS HUNG

This photo was taken in June of 2000 from one of those tiny Polaroid kids cameras they sold years ago. It was backstage at my friend Anthony's wedding and we had asked the priest if he would "fake laugh" with us before we went out to do the ceremony. It seemed appropriate, we figured why not? But now we cannot look at this photo without laughing at the "wrongness of it". Not because it's sacrilegious mind you, but because it looks like the priest is being hung by the neck. You just need to imagine a little rope rising up from his neck.

THE WIND BLOWN LAUGH

This one comes from my friend Kenia Intriago. It's either a fake laugh or Kenia's breath is knocking this guy out. You tell me....

OUR LAST NIGHT IN L.A.

I love David Rupp in the back - he nails the gaffaw.

SO CLOSE....

On our recent visit to Los Angeles - dinner with friends Matt Clouston and Jon Malmed...this had the potential to be a great fake laugh but Malmed just couldn't seem to nail it (looks more like he's doing a Borsht-Belt comic take) ....otherwise it's not bad.

WHEN IN ROME...FAKE IT!

My friend Mike Ganley forwarded this gem to me via The Daily News' Gatecrasher Column. Not sure if the cast of "When In Rome" came across "The Fake Laugh Project" and decided to do a fake laugh just for us...or it's just merely a coinky-dink...or heaven forbid, IT'S REALLY THEIR LAUGH?!

In any event, it's awesome!
