Don't You Forget About Me....Seriously, don't. Please.

Molly Ringwald has become the latest Hollywood star to take up running to stay fit and noticed. The ever increasing cost for actors to pay publicist to be constantly seen in the public eye has caused many extinguished stars to do their own publicity. Recent supporters of this form of "do it yourself or no one will ever remember you again" publicity include: Judd Nelson, the guy who played Styles in "Teen Wolf" and Steve Kemetko.

The "Townies" star, 42, admits she never imagined she'd become one of those forgotten celebrities lacing up running shoes - and she's surprised she has the stamina for it.
She tells the unread Bust magazine, "I couldn't get Duckie (Jon Cryer) to return my calls to ask him to set me up with his publicist, so I took up running this past year. It's great! I put a sign on my back with my head shot and phone number and the rest is easy street. I'm also at an advantage because I have red hair and red hair is more of an eye catcher than brown or blond. So I've got that going for me."
