Have you met any celebrities?

[lilFajita]

i should have seen Matthew McConehey or Sandra Bullock at least once in Austin, but no such luck. The closest to celebrity I have gotten is seeing Keri Strugg at the Galleria. :|

 

[GhettoFob]

I saw John Madden when I took my grandma to the doctor's office.

I met the Blue Oyster Cult and got all their autographs. They came to the bar i work at, and being security i get backstage priviledges.


I also met Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes a gazillion times. Jay and Silent Bob. I go to their comic book store in Red Bank, NJ a few times a year, and i always luck out and see them. Add that to the preview of Dogma i got to see a month before it was released nationally, and the grand re-opening party for his store, i'd say i'm pretty fortunate.

Some random ones:

Kareem-Abdul Jabbar *got auto*
Spike Lee *friend was in his commercial*
The real Patch Adams *was invited in his limo by him*
Sarah Jessica Parker *met on the streets of manhattan coming out of her building*
Don King *infront of MSG*
Andrew Dice Clay *saw after his show at local club*
David Blaine *met at book signing*
Jim Breuer *came to the bar i work at, talked to him for like 15 minutes*
Ed Lover, Dr. Dre(the fat one), and DJ Scribble *came into Sears, where i used to work*
Steve Guttenberg *came into sears as well*
Marc Anthony *came into Sears, have vhs proof*


theres more, but those are the major ones. Its a benefit of being a 30 minute train ride from the city that NEVER sleeps.

I've met quite a few celebs but I have two fave stories.

Scullly and Mulder were filming right across the street from the house I grew up in. It was cold and foggy and I was jogging in the park right next to the house at the time. Ran past their trailers coming up the street and they were walking back down. As I was passing by yelled out to them something to the effect of "Hey! Don't you guys get sick of wearing trenchcoats!?" They both smiled and Gillian Anderson said that "It's part of the X-Files ensemble." They used to film so much in my area that it actually became a nuisance when you couldn't park your darn car in your usual spot because they had production trailers all over the freakin' place.

I met MacGuyver himself at an outdoor store. He was looking at aftermarket watch bands and I was looking at them too. Without looking at his face or knowing who he was I remarked "I like the wider ones better as they are more comfortable." When I finally glanced at him I realized it was whats-his-face but I didn't react any different. He looked at me kinda funny like I was some kind of stalker or what. Little did he know I didn't care much for him or for celebs in general. He kept on looking and I walked away.

I am a celebrity. That's why I use an alias. Does anyone have any idea of who I might be?

Sal

PS.. I'll give you a hint. I'm a musician as part of a duo and we had some hits in the 80's. No, I'm not part of Wham either.

[Scouzer]

Gordie Howe is the only one...haven't really met.

I was about 12 at a hockey tournament...apparently at the same time there was an old timer hockey tournament thing. Well, anyway, in my hotel I'm running around like a 12 year old hoodlum, and bump clear into Gordie Howe and fall over on a well-placed bench. I gave a long look at him when I mumbled 'Sorry' and just thought 'Damn, that guy is familiar...meh' and thought nothing of it. Until 15 minutes later one of my teammates exclaims 'Gordie Howe is here, he just stopped giving autographs!'. I was pretty upset at the time.

 

[JoLLyRoGer]

I've met...

Aaron Tippin (I actually got to hang out with him and his band for two days. I was helping out with a USO tour. Got autographs and pictures from all the bandmembers too. I still keep in contact with their guitarist via e-mail.)

Craig Morgan (Another country singer, another USO show. I actually got to get up on stage and play guitar with him for about half a song and an autographed CD...)

Drew Carry (I got a couple of pictures and an autograph.)

Roger "The Rocket" Clemens (Yankee's Pitcher.)

 

[Siddhartha]

I talked with Leonard Bernstein, a childhood hero of mind, once.
It was very cool. He said that part of preparing to conduct a piece he had to become the composer. He thought that he was an unpleasant person when he conducted Beethoven.

[loup garou]

Nicolas Cage at a club during Mardi Gras. He was wasted and being loud and obnoxious.
Jerry Springer at the Endymion ball. Drew Carey there a year or so after that (he was hilarious).
Met Harry Connick Jr. on several occasions, really nice guy.
Will Clark.
Rockin Dopsie Jr (he was hitting on my waitress at a club last weekend).
Trent Reznor twice...once at the movie theater (didn't say anything to him) and once at the dog park (talked with him awhile while our dogs played).
Shaun King and Patrick Ramsey both went to Tulane...met them both several times.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot...I drove Rev Horton Heat to a show after they did an interview at Tulane's radio station.
Doh! And Kevin Smith and Kevin Spacey at separate appearances they had at Tulane. Kevin Spacey was nice and answered my question about The Usual Suspects. Kevin Smith was crazy talkative and his appearance went 3 hours over the allotted time. Met him afterwords when I got his autograph.

Niki & Krissy Taylor. I dated a girl who's parent's had moved to Miami and lived near the Taylors and my ex hung out with them the last year she was in high school. We went down and visited them every now and then. Met Niki a few times and we all hung out, dinner & drinks, a couple of times. Only met Krissy once briefly before she died.

Hey, some of my friends from college were from Coral Gables and they said they hung out with Niki as well....I didn't believe them at first, but they had pictures. Weird coincidence.

I bumped into (literally) Don Johnson at that fancy Italian resturant at the Bellagio in Vegas (I don't recall the name offhand). We were waiting for our table, there was a group of 6 of us, and we were all in our tux's and wedding gear as two of my friends had just gotten married at on of the chapels. As we were waiting, Don Johnson and the the group he was with left their table and were making their way towards the exit, when the ladies stopped to use the bathroom. He decided to wait for them right where I was. I was leaning up against the wall, minding my own business. As I was waiting, I kept being nudged in the back. At the time, I didn't realize it was him. I just thought it was some drunk fool. So, I nudged back, as I thought that was very rude. I was about ready to turn around and say "WTF!", but then the women came out of the bathroom and they were on their merry way. As he was leaving, he looked me in the eye but didn't say anything. I think he was shocked that I didn't back down from him attempting to push me out of the way. Now this is where the comedy begins, he see's the bride that we were with, standing on the other side, and goes over to her and says "Congratulations, you're very beautiful", and then shakes the grooms hand. Then, on the way out of the door, he stumbles, and breaks a figurine they had displayed. It shattered everywhere. Then my friends came over to us and were like "Do you know who that was??" I said "Yeah, some drunk idiot who was trying to start a shoving fight with me". They said, "No, that was Don Johnson". I was mad, because if I had know that was him, I would've shoved even harder and maybe he would've fought, and I could've sued!!! The women he was with weren't even hot.
