I'm not entirely sure, but I think Rick Fox is half white (Canadian).

Any more info on Babe Ruth possibly being mixed?

All I know, is that I first heard it on Sports radio. I looked it up on the internet, and there was some talk by Spike Lee about him being black.
To me, it makes sense, because why else would his family, who ran a business (a bar), put him in an orphanage, when he was seven. I'm thinking he was getting a bit too ethnic looking to ignore. Ruth said he was placed in the home, becuase of his behavior and possibly his mother was too sick to care for him, but I don't think his sister was placed in an orphanage.
I say this, because the orphanage that Ruth was placed in was all males, plus, Ruth was able to keep in contact with his whole family, for the simple fact that they lived less than a mile away from the orphanage, but never visited him.
Once he hit it big, naturally, his father kept a picture of the baseball player, Ruth in his bar. However, Babe was constantly taunted by other players as being a "n".

You can't tell me that Justin Timberlake doesn't have any black ancestry-look at the boy's hair! I think it's way back a few generations, but I have always thought he had black ancestry.

You know, there are plenty of people who have curly hair and have no African ancestory whatsoever. It isn't exclusively black.
However, just reading about the Melugeons (sp?) of the south at the beginning of this thread you can say that Justin Timberlake could very well have some black or Mediterranean in him.

Some think, though it may not be exclusively black, it is exclusively black in origin. Meaning, it was back in the day a black trait.

A friend of mine told me back in the day that there were rumors that Dinah Shore had black ancestry.

Yes, I most definately heard that rumor; it seem like every woman in the beauty shop heard that rumor. I believe it's true, because the rumor was in the same vein as Dinah Ross and Berry Gordy conceiving a child together rumor, in that everyone knew this story, and they recalled it exactly as everyone else heard it.
Moreover I remember the ladies mentioning a story about another "white" celebrity, who had a black baby, but this celeb didn't know she had black in her.
Anyway, she gave up her baby, and I think her husband divorced her. Does anyone know who this person is?
