My brother was the senior editor for In Touch but now does this:

He also does E! interviews/shows, randomly appears on Its On With Alexa Chung (on MTV) and does weekly appearances on The Cooper Lawrence Radio Show. Hes crazy smart and I think his success is super exciting and cool. Oh..and my cousin is Ian Ziering but thats totally not as cool now as it was in the 90's.

  • I used to party with Bowling for Soup at my apartment in Denton.  They were good friends of my best friends. 

    If anyone here listens to Texas Country music you might know this one.  One of my best friends is Rodney Parker of Rodney Parker & 50 Peso Reward.  Actually, Rodney has partied with Bowling for Soup also.  He played at my wedding for free (even though he was getting paid really well to play other places, he chose to play at my wedding for free with his band,). 

    He has a couple of songs on the radio now.  I'd be super impressed if anyone has heard of him on here.  He is getting pretty well known in the TX Music genre.

  • my family is really good friends with Pedro Martinez. my dad did a lot of press in Dominican Republic and has befriend a lot of bachata and merengue artists. 
  • Wow - Barnum and Bailey Circus? E Street Band?!  I'm so jealous!  My life is boring!

  • We're supposedly somehow related to the 20's (I think) actress Sarah Bernhardt but I don't know if that's actually true. And...um, my old babysitter's boyfriend was on the 80's show "The Untouchables"...LOL.

    Oh, wait, I thought of a better one - my uncle was Shawon Dunston (on the Cubs in the 80's) high school baseball coach and he used to get us free Cubs tix and we sat with the player's families and my dad and brothers got to go into the locker room.

    Oh, and the original Katz delicatessen in NYC was founded/owned by a relative of my grandpa's - I think his uncle maybe? 

    *** It's funny because I'm fat ***
  • My Aunt dated Chris O'Donnell before she married my Uncle.

    I made out with one of the Padres (San Diego Baseball player) before I was married, LOL.

    According to my Grandma, we are relatives of some German King that killed everyone.

     

  • I don't think I'm related to anyone cool... but my FIL knows a lot of famous musicians. The coolest in my book is Ben Harper. He works for a music store company.

    This isn't true but when I was little my grandma told me that her dad was from Germany. My dad thought it would be funny to tell me we were related to Hitler. Yeah I went to school and told everyone LOL.

  • According to my Grandpa we're related to Robert E Lee...who knows.

    We have a lot of 'Famous People' as clients. We built houses for the director of "The Godfather", the 'inventor' of IVF (we refer to him as our 'sugar daddy'), Kelly LeBroc (weird science), The Pratt Family (Spencer Pratt of the hills, I also went to school with him), big business men, music producers, artists etc.

  • One of my friends is the exboyfriend of AI runner up Adam Lambert, and another one of my good friends is engaged to Graham Eliot Bowles (who was on Top Chef Masters and is kind of a celebrity chef around Chicago.)

    I'm also a great(xSomeNumber)granddaughter of Jose Antonio Navarro, who I guess was some hero to Mexican Texans way back in the day. I should really brush up on that one.

  • My cousin did the stunts for Travis on the movie Clueless lol.  Not really famous but my other cousin thought it was so cool at the time and she had him sign her movie box for Clueless haha.
  • My aunt dated Brad Pitt's brother in the early 80's.  And Brad Pitt's parents still go to my grandma's church once a month in Joplin, MO and I met his mom when I was 14.  Brad's whole family is from (and still lives in) Springfield, MO.
