Your 15 Minutes is Up, Pal

Andrew Firestone finally got hitched. Finally. To a Serbian model no less.

You’ll remember Andrew from his ill-fated turn on ABC’s The Bachelor some five years ago. And since then, his name has popped up more often than most people change socks. Most notably in this industry, where he holds the distinction of being Harvey Firestone’s great, grandson.

Of course, Andrew is to the tire industry as I am to nuclear physics. Maybe now he can settle down, have a few kids and go back to fussing with his dad’s wine business.
