I work at a major motion picture studio, so there are actors coming in and out all the time. Ang Lee, Nick Cage, Pam Anderson, Halle Berry, Pierce Brosnan, etc. Been to a few parties around here (Spelling party, Strokes party, etc.), met more on a personal level there.

Peace,
Dezign

Tom Green.

I met him in an Uno's in Georgetown a few weeks ago. Three of my friends and I hung out with him for almost two hours. It was us and maybe a half dozen other random people, Tom Green, Glenn Humplik, and their camera/producer guys. He was taping for his show which should be on in February (or so he says). He started in NYC with no money in his pocket and was trying to go to LA on people's donations.

It was some of the most fun I've ever had. He was sooooo completely wasted it was ridiculous. He went to sign me an autograph and just completely fell over onto the table. Luckily we got a lot of good pictures (of him and Glenn kissing haha , etc.). Damn it was so much fun...

I bumped into Eric McCormack (Will from Will & Grace) as I was headed to Carnegie Hall to catch a jazz concert. He looks exactly like he does on TV!

Methinks Imported wants to make Jessie Alba come to her senses and marry someone closer to her own age!!! :Q

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.


Hahaha... you must be either Darryl Hall or John Oates.

I met Danny glover at a San Francisco Mercedes Benz Dealership. He was having his car fixed, might be a green 1968 280SL. Friendly guy.

Paul Diano(sp?) (original singer from Iron Maiden), my buddy in HIghschool was President of his "then band (not Maiden's) fan club.
He was pretty cool, used to always joke(altho I am sure he was serious) that he keeps his gold records on the wall next to his crapper.

Zakk Wylde (worked in a music shop in Town I grew up in, couple of friends in HIgh School took guitar Lesson's from him. He was pretty cool, always nice to the younger kids in the music (instrument) store before he tried out and of course, joined Ozzy.

The Iron Sheik (from wwf back in the day). Saw him in a chineese buffet, said, hey your the Iron Sheik, I used to watch you all the time when I was a kid. . Said no he wasnt and turned away. Later on some young kids went up to him and he signed some autographs, he was a d!ck to me tho.

Haha, speaking of WWF/WCW wrestlers, I've met a few:

Curt Henning, Andre the Giant, Honkey-Tonk Man (actually, we almost ran him over, he was crossing the street trying to get to his hotel, and was standing in the median), Meng (Haku), Bob Backlund, Scott Hall.

I met Jay Leno at the Pebble Beach golf course in California, got his autograph. He seemed like a nice guy.


My dad says he smoked a joint with Huey Lewis many years ago in his limo.
My dad was a bartender at a casino in Lake Tahoe at the time.

I met Kelli White, 2nd fastest sprinter in the US after Marion Jones, Alvin Harrison, on the 4x400m relay team of the 96 and 00 Olympics and some other races, and their Russian coach. I got all their autographs too. The former two have a few Olympic medals if I remember correctly. I met them on a community college track with my track coach. Kristi Yamaguchi went to my high school, but not at the same time I was/am there. She supposedly lives in this community a few miles away. The son of the president of Adobe is my chemistry teacher.

I met Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thanksgiving Day when I was working at Starbucks. Got his autograph too, he was there with Maria and the kids.

Actually I think all the celebs I have met were at the Starbucks I worked at.

Lynda Carter came in a lot in the summer to get mocha Fraps.
Ted Koppel would come in on the weekends and hang out sometimes.
