Proof positive not to believe gossip columns!

If one was to believe even half of what is published in gossip rags, the perception that they would have is that Vin Diesel is an arrogant, rude, and obnoxious man. However, whenever I read of a fan who encounters him (whether before or after his big break), they always say how courteous, respectful, and polite he is. I have yet to hear of a fan who he blew off.
