TRUTH !!

The newer generation of celebrities are known for giving their newborns uncommon names. Drea and Shooter were no different. Their daughter, Alabama Gypsy Rose Jennings, was born on November 28, 2007. Affectionately called Bama by her proud mom and dad, she is the first child for the famous pair.

Drea de Matteo is probably best known for her character Adrianna on the HBO series "The Sopranos" (1999-2007). Southern rocker Waylon Albright Jennings, better known as "Shooter", is the only child of country music legends Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter.

#7. Sorta Sarasota, but more specifically Gibsonton, locally called Gibtown. I live right between the 2 - 20 minutes either way.

Ringing himself lived in. Sarasota, but the circus folk all lived in Gibtown.

Actually, the current headquarters of the Ringling Barnum and Baily operations is in Palmetto, where I live.
