Keeping up with Jones

Story Tools

Advertisements
Sure, Indiana Jones' adventures happened more than 50 years ago. But that doesn't mean there aren't modern-day adventurers. Here are our candidates:

Tyra Banks

Why: She's fierce. She dressed up in a fat suit. She wore her bathing suit on TV and admitted her cellulite.

Ron Paul

Why: He and his devoted Paul-ees want to take on the Republican establishment. They even chased Sean Hannity down the street. Now that's hardcore.

Angelina Jolie

Why: She already has four kids and she's having a fifth. Plus she goes into dangerous foreign lands while pregnant.

James Frey

Why: He sat and took it as Oprah ripped him apart for making up stuff in his memoir, "A Million Little Pieces." Then he got a new publisher and a million-dollar deal for his new work "Bright Shiny Morning."

Bear Grylls

Why: The host of Discovery's "Man vs. Wild" has been confronted by an angry bear and an angry shark and knows enough about eating sheep eyeballs to note that they "explode into gristle and blood" rather than behave like a hard-boiled egg.
