Did he summarily sue the BSpears?

Shook hands with Russell Crowe when he was filming "A Beautiful Mind" and Denzel Washington when the movie "The Siege" was being filmed. Both movies had a scene filmed at Bronx Community College when I was a student there.

Also saw but did not meet Steve Martin when he was filming that new Pink Panther movie (at Lehman College in the Bronx..they put lots of prop cars with french license plates and put in a scene with a soccer game).

Also shook hands with some baseball players (Mets and Yankees) if you count them as celebrities.

When I was young I was in a Whitney Houston music video (to this date I have no idea which one it was) and during a break in shooting we came to say hi to all the kids. Seemed like a very nice lady.

OK, even though I'm not the OP, I'm going to officially say that local weathermen don't count. They're about as celebrity as William Hung. Would you be that proud about meeting him?

Dr. Mel has been on TV a lot longer than no-talent-Hung... Plus, everyone likes him. http://www.wtnh.com/Global/story.asp?S=27202

Anyways, he's the most famous person I've ever met.

Oh, I remember. I met Diamond Dallas Page a long time ago. He looked at me and said, "Damn... you're big." Coming from DDP , that was a compliment.

Met Lita Ford driving down one of the main stretches here after an autograph signing. We followed behind her vehicle until I had the chance to pull along side at a stop light. Best friend riding shotgun was so flabbergasted she was talking to us, he couldnt even say anything. She told me I had a very nice car and said thanks so much for being a fan

Mind you this was way back in the 80's when Metal ruled us all:laugh:

Uhhhh yeah....
Does working for them count?
I introduced the the band's ( Journey) wives to Rob Lowe at a wedding we were playing for. Rod Stewart played as well as David Crosby and REO Speedwagon.
Dana Carvey and Jay Leno were the MC's and they were "star struck " by Journey's presence. Since Dana and I had worked a few comedy shows in the Bay Area prior to his career taking off, I introduced them to Journey.
Having been in the music business for over 30 years, I've met and worked with quite a few.
Turned down the debauched offers of Belinda Carlisle and one of the other Go-Go's as I was in a relationship. Had June Lockhart hit on me at Santa Cruz once.

A few, but I don't know that many are household names. Took Sean Young (the female replicant in Blade Runner) out to dinner several months back; I've gone to dinner with Tane McClure and hang out with her at least once a year. I run into Franco Columbu about once a year, too. Hung out from time-to-time with Christopher Atkins and just set up a new video editing computer for him about a month back. A few weeks ago, when I was in LA, I had James Lew and Gary Daniels drop by to say 'hi.' I'm sure there are more that I haven't seen lately that just aren't leaping to mind.

Several. I used to work in catering, so we had a lot of bigwigs at partys we would do. I met Bill Cosby before a show (SUPER nice guy), Roy Orbison, Tommy Lasorta, Dick Vitale, Bob Hope, Abe Vigoda (in Las Vegas-- he sat at the table next to us at a show, and he was flattered that I recognzied him (I guess nobody knows who he is anymore )). There's been a bunch of others, but the highlight I'll always remember was meeting Jimmy Page in Detroit in 1988. We went to a bar after one of his shows and he showed up unannouced. I was able to exchange a few sentances back and forth because (again) nobody knew who he was. He broke a sting during "Over the Hills and Far Away", and it knocked his whole guitar out of tune, but he kept on playing. I mentioned that and he said something like "Aw- Bloody 'ell, I thought nobody would notice. Was it bad?" I told him that he still sounded great, then he told me about a secret that if you break a string, you can usually move everything up a fret to keep in tune. Cool!
