You guys are freaking me out! Herpes is a very general "disease"! Yes cold sores are a type of herpes but you can have cold sores and never suffer genital herpes! I've had cold sores since I can remember, but I DO NOT have genital herpes! Who cares if I have this little bump on my lip twice a year! I know how it works, I don't kiss anyone, forget about oral sex and I'm not sharing anything I am eating or drinking with! It's not that bad... the contagious phase only lasts about 3 days! And then, you just have to wait for the scar to go away... I usually get rid of my cold sores within a week! So stop freaking about the fact that some celebrities have one once in a while! IT'S NORMAL! Who cares!
