Forum Game: Celebrity Guessing (no advertising allowed)

Dear users, dear authors,
here’s another forum game for you since the weather is so gloomy.

In the celebrity guessing game, simply introduce a well-known celebrity in a few sentences. It doesn’t matter if they’re an actor, athlete, etc.—they just need to be very well-known. Whoever guesses correctly gets to start their own riddle.

I’ll go first:

- female celebrity
- very well-known
- not 100% popular
- often has a facial expression as if she’d bitten into a lemon
- Germany’s “Mutti”
- politician

That was pretty easy, wasn’t it?
