Famousity...is that a word?

It seems that almost every Canadian city has its token famous person; quick example Brantford and Wayne Gretzky. So it leaves me to ponder about those cities, towns, villages that are completely and utterly famous personless - how do they cope without a sign saying HOME OF INSERT NAME HERE? Are they depressed? Do they spend years training rigiouresly their sons and daughters to become something great? Does the Mayor often cry himself to sleep at night? What a sad place to live.

I have found the list of the TOP 20 Famous Canadians

The top five for 2003 were Avril Lavigne, Pam Anderson, Romeo Daillire (Hotel Rwanda Real Life Person), Shania Twain and Nelly Furtado.

That is depressing. Here is my list -
