My mom's ex-boyfriend (whom I knew well), was 1st cousin's with Lee Majors (star of the TV show "The Fall Guy" & "The 6 Million Dollar Man").

The mother of one of my childhood friends, used to date this actor guy for many many years, and I knew him, and he me. His name is Dennis Neal. He played the black detective (sidekick of Kevin Bacon's? or Matt Dillon's, I forget) in the 1998 movie "Wild Things", name was "Art Maddox" (just looked it up), was a big enough role to remember the character. And Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, etc. played in that movie. I'm assuming he knows some of those people =)

Oh, and Rob Thomas, the lead singer of the band "Matchbox 20" went to my high school, but not while I was there. He did know my sister I believe, and definitely knew (and used to smoke pot with, or so he claims) one of my sister's good friends. Also, my 1st cousin has a good female friend that I know, and she used to watch the lead singer of Creed play basketball (she had a crush on him, they knew each other), before they were a band I think.

Those are about the only links that come to mind immediately.

Oh, and Jennifer Love-Hewitt and I are psychically linked, and will one day be married.... I know she can feel it too, so she does know me, but she's just ignoring it for now =P Lots of other hot female celeb's I have these links to as well, none have responded yet.... I don't see how they can fight the urge...

Do you two know eachother? I have a distant relative who's a big Russian movie star (was in both "Brother" movies or something) but we don't know eachother worth a damn

LOL no...all I know is I'm related to her. I doubt she even knows of my existence.

Heh, oops. Well I guess you can link yourself to her by relatives inbetween...anyone else?

8 yrs ago, I lived in a chicago suburb, the same one in which scottie pippen and michael jordan resided. my sister ended up dating scottie pippen's brother and I got to go over the Pippen residence twice. Man was that place pimp! and guess who lived like 1/4 mile away, the man himself, MJ! but never got farther than the gate there. Oh yah, never did really meet Pippen himself, but his pad was tizzite!

Also met brotha man from da 5th floor, if you ever watched that show Martin! you would know who Im talking about, as if he's a real celeb or anything. Also, my like 5th cousin is Benoit Benjamin, he used to be in the NBA. That's all I can think of for now.
