It's an interesting thesis, but it doesn't hold up under scruitany.

What's the greatest thing in the Bronx? -- The Yankees. Who is the greatest Yankee? -- Babe Ruth. Where is Babe Ruth from? -- Baltimore. Therefore Baltimore celebrity >>>> Bronx celebrity.

John Gotti is<em> technically</em> from the Bronx too. he was born and raised in the South Bronx until he was 13 when he moved to Brooklyn<br />

The Poe/Baltimore association is pretty strange. Basically he was killed by Baltimore. I think he spent a year or two here, hated it. He spent the most time in Richmond, I believe. But somehow he is burried here.

Again, not sure if they were just born here, or born and raised, but here's Newark:<br />Bill Bellamy<br />Aaron Burr<br />Rah Digga<br />Faith Evans<br />Gloria Gaynor<br />Allen Ginsberg<br />John Gorka<br />Whitney Houston<br />Ice T<br />Ed Koch<br />Jerry Lewis<br />Ray Liotta<br />Shaq<br />Queen Latifah<br />Redman<br />Joe Rogan (ha)<br />Paul Simon<br />Frankie Valli<br />Sarah Vaughan<br />Those geeks from My Chemical Romance<br />Max Weinberg

Jimmy Morris from the movie THE ROOKIE. Never went to the movie though. Too feel-goody and heartwarming for me. Also a bit Hollywooded up...I hear.

Tommy Lee Jones is from (and lives) just down the road. But from what I hear he's a real prick. Probably just wants to be left alone and is constantly hassled by the locals.

Tommy Lee Jones: No.
