VevoAll you had to do was stay call!
Students at Skyview High School in Billings, Mont., are crossing their fingers this week that one famous celebrity will be calling their teacher sooner rather than later.

He added, "Everyone keeps telling me I'm famous but I'm eating three day expired bread for lunch, so..."
