  • Ugh... another one!

    I stood in line right behind Kevin Richardson from Backstreet Boys while on my honeymoon.  We went to the Pro-Bowl and they were doing the halftime show.  I'm not really a fan, so I didn't ask for an autograph or a pic or anything, but I mouthed to DH "THAT'S A BACKSTREET BOY!"  and I got caught.  Kevin just laughed and walked away.....Embarrassed

    While there, DH ran into John Elway and Steve Young - he was in heaven!

  • Oh I met Jessica Simpson way before she was famous. It was when she opened for 98 degrees, in like 1998 or something. She was out in the lobby after the show signing copies of the free cassette tape she was giving out. I also met Donavon, hes a singer from the 60's who did that song Mellow Yellow.

  • We live in LA so they are everywhere and some friends are even considered at least semi-famous. I teach at a private school and we have a few famous kids and famous people's kids, but we signed legal agreements not to talk about them :)?

    But Walter Peyton wins for me -- I grew up in Chicago so I loved him!?

  • Walter Payton, Once at a club downtown Chicago I met Hester and a few other bears players. I met Oprah, and Tyra Banks

    He's also Ione Skye's father (Diane Cort in "Say Anything").... very cool!

    I'll see your Katie Holmes, Meg Ryan, and Dusty "Screech" Diamond and one up you with Carrot Top.  That's right I met THE Carrot Top. 

    Sorry I had to name drop on you all.

    Oh, and I also saw Matthew Broderick one day one the street in NYC. 

    HAHA!  He is so disgusting!


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  • I'm lame. I've never met anyone famous unless you count a Justin Timberlake concert. Embarrassed
  • I met Michael Jackson!!!

    I was 16 and we were walking through the Excalibur casino in Vegas and he was there walking through.  My mom tried to get my sister to say hello (she was younger but the more outgoing one of us) but she wouldn't, so I stepped right up, introduced myself, and shook his hand and had a minute conversation with him before security ushered me away.

    I do have a few pictures of us conversing!

    :)

  • I've met Drew Barrymore (well I was about 5 feet from her as she got in her limo), Michelle Zink (a local author), Gabriel Iglesias (comedian), George Pataki (former NY Govenor-met him right after 9/11 with BIL), Natalie Merchant (owns a house in our fire district), Stephenie Meyer (Twilight author)...I swear I am forgetting some!

    DH has met Brooke Sheilds, Julia Roberts, Tom Wopat (Dukes Of Hazard), Joh Heard (father from Home Alone), and a ton more...we have quite a few celebs up in our area or at least we used to.

    I think the best was that my dad played a pick up basketball game with a guy he thought looked familiar...later found out it was Johnny Damon (was back when he played for the KC Royals).

  • I'm the editor of a tween/teen magazine, and have a background in entertainment writing, so I've met quite a few famous people. Probably the coolest thing I've done is visiting the set of Harry Potter 6 in London - I'm a huge fan so that was really a thrill for me.

    Also a funny story is that when Lost first premiered, they did a press junket in LA and after the panel, I ran into Evangeline Lilly in the bathroom and she was telling me how she really had to pee because she drank so much water up there! I thought that was funny.

    Me with Andy Diick. Lol. Excuse my mess of hair, it was a long night. :-)

    AHHH I met Andy *** too! He came to Syracuse when I was an undergrad for a standup show and then went out to the bars after. He ended up at after hours at my friend's frat house and tried to proposition a few of the brothers there with oral sex!

    How could I have forgotten this?!

    We met Howie Day too, after he performed at the student center. I love his music but he was a total douche. LOL. 

  • DH just reminded me that FIL is golfing buddies with Peter Gallagher (from "The O.C." and "Center Stage")

  • Nobody spectacular, but I've met the bands Default, Linkin Park, Trust Company, Like A Storm, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, country singer Keith Anderson, and the guy who broke the world record on NYE by jumping the rally car off the Long Beach pier, Travis Pastrana.  Met him 8 years ago before he was such a big name!  :)  Some old Indians players... Kenny Lofton, Jim Thome, Omar Vizquel, Sandy Alomar.  That's really all I can think of!

  • I met Artie Lange years ago before I knew who he was. I went to the movies with my friends to see one he was in, and when we walked out of the theatre he was just standing there to talk to people who had come to see it.

    I also met Point of Grace, they're one of the biggest groups in Christian music and I adore them!!

    DS (7 years old) from FET in 2010
    DD (5 years old) from IUI in 2012
    TTC 3rd and final!: IUI #1 in progress!
  • I've met more then I can remember.  It's sort of my job.  Er... was my job?  I don't really know anymore.  In any case it's still DH's job!  But some of the more memorable ones are...

    -Paul Rudd because he told me I I had nice "bajungas" and looked like Julianne Moore (I mentioned this is the other post).

    -My husband feeling up Florence Henderson (I gave him permission to go for it but he never did.)

    -Patty Hearst... LOVED meeting her, not really sure why but it thrilled me to death.

    -Ed Begley Jr. because he's my personal hero.

    -Alyson Hannigan, Charisma Carpenter, and James Marsters because I was a HUGE Buffy fan.  

    ETA: I also know about half of the cast of the Twilight movies.  Which kind of sucks.  I'm a Twilight wh*re and was trying really hard to like the movies, but they are sooooooo distracting!  The "fourth wall" was definitely broken for me.  :(   And I won't say which or what but I saw one of the actresses doing something naughty in a bathroom at a party once.  Haha, that should be fun for the imagination....

  • imagekimarino13:
    Yes, but the most infamous one is Screech from Saved By The Bell.  He and his girlfriend went to Disneyland with me and my boyfriend at the time and he smoked (not a cigarette) in the back seat of my car while I was driving there.  I was so pissed. 

    I'm sorry but after the whole Dirty Sanchez thing I would have puked if he tried getting into my car!  I'm surprised you restrained yourself so well!

  • imageBucks1975:

    I'll see your Katie Holmes, Meg Ryan, and Dusty "Screech" Diamond and one up you with Carrot Top.  That's right I met THE Carrot Top.

    Haha!  I got a SUPER excited phone call from my friend who's a cab driver in NYC.  I guess he picked up Carrot Top outside of one peep show and drove him to another.  He was so excited!  He's had a ton of celebs in his cab, but Carrot Top and Dr. Ruth were the two that really thrilled him.  Haha!

  • I met Billy Baldwin while I was in Jr High out and about in Miami.  And my cousin dated Joey Fatone (N'SYNC) while she was in HS, so we hung out a few times before he was famous.  And same cousin was in the music biz, and her manager was Justin Timberlake's mom, so I met him too.
