E.T.' was an Extra-Terrestrial with an Extra Testicle. He was born sometime in the 1960's and lived much of his life on a very randomly named planet. You know that one were talking about. That really smelly one. E.T. Became a media darling in the 1980's, like Steve Guttenberg. But unlike Steve Guttenberg, he remains popular today. After appearing in a highly successful feature film, ET, based on his life, he was unable to hold on to his fame, until his death was announced in 1999. However, since then, he has revealed he is still alive, and is relaunching his showbiz career. Gold-digger.
