I went to high school with James Valentine from Maroon 5. I doubt he would remember me but he used to jam out with my brother. I also teach high school and tell my students all the time that if they make it big and become famous they better not forget me. And if it is something were they get to thank people that they were inspired by they can't forget my name.

Marg Helgenberger is my 3rd (?) cousin.The only other people would be local "celebs" that I am not claiming because it gives away too much info about me.
Kenny Chesney had albums out way before 2000. I had multiple albums of his back in high school.
I guess my point in saying 10 years ago was that he was popular (obvi enough to be on tour) but not as popular as now... I wouldn't be able to hang out with him now LOL

I saw Tom Scarritt (A River Runs Through It)on a ferry boat in northern Washington (turns out he has a house on one of the islands).
I've also seen Vince Vaugh and Robert Duvall when they were filming Four Christmases in SF. They were staying at the hotel that my girls and I were at.
Kdodge - pretty cool about Marg Helgenberger, have you ever met her? (I've never even met some of my first cousins, which is why I ask)

I love them too... haven't seen them in concert. Maybe someday. I bet they were good. I like there first album the best. Could be because I think it totally cool that James is were a Nebraska shirt in the picture on the back cover. (that is where I grew up.)

Kyle McLachlan went to my high school and his mom still lives in town. I was a server at her wedding. Kyle played bartender.
I hung out with Darius Rucker (then Hootie and the Blowfish) in the San Fran airport bar in college.
DH's uncle is a grammy winning violinst/composer and really well known in classical and country circles. He was a studio player on Garth Brooks big albums. He had a cameo role in the Meryl Streep movie, Music of the Heart.

I've met and seen lots of famous people (living in SoCal will do that). I did an event that Suzanne Somers was speaking at, so I met her. Mel Gibson showed up to a wedding I did (he was short). There were tons of sightings at my old job, but no good gossip to report.
One of my former coworkers is Gallagher's daughter (the comedian, with the watermelon). That's all I can think of for now.

I don't KNOW anyone famous, but I have met famous people. In high school we were on a trip to NYC. We were on TRL and met Dave Holmes--VJ at the time, and Bon Jovi.
I always go to the stage door after plays I see so I have *met* a few people: Jeff Goldblum, Billy Crudup, Claire Danes (she was at the production of the Pillowman when she was dating BC), Anthony Rapp, David Hyde Pierce, Hank Azaria, Sara Ramirez (she is fuucking gorgeous in person), the bad guy from Chances Are, Patrick Wilson (he is really effing sexy in person and he talked to us for a long time!), the dad from Wonder Years. Jackie Mason (a comedian who had a show on Broadway a few years back) and my mom had like, a 15 minute conversation while we were waiting outside of Spamalot.
My sister dated Jonathan Silverman (he had a show called The Single Guy about 100 years ago) for a short while.
Greta Garbo (aka Greta Gustafson) would be my second cousin, twice removed.
Oh and I went to HS with one of the wedding planners from Whose Wedding Is It Anyway? (Ivy Robinson)
You will definitely be able to tell what I was like in high school from this...
I met *NSync (any other former fans out there?) at a club in 1999. I got to dance with them and hug everyone. At the time, I swore it was the high point of my life.
I also have met Hanson, BBMak (they sang to me in my dentist's parking lot), Billie Piper, Jordan Knight and Joey MacIntyre.

I know Katie Holmes' parents. They live across the street from my work and I talk to them every few months. My mom used to work with her dad.
I know a few other actors in LA through one of my friends, too.
I've met lots of musicians... John Mayer, a few of the Maroon 5 guys, Guster, Ben Folds, Bedouine Soundclash, Needtobreathe, Pat Monahan (lead singer of Train - he sang into my ear at their concert...), Gavin DeGraw... lots more.

I met Kevin Costner at the college world series one year. He was sitting in front of me. I didn't realize who he was at first, but thought it was strange that women kept walking down the stairs and taking pictures.
I met Charlton Heston back in college. He came to speak on campus and I was one of the chosen few that got to attend a private reception after the fact.
If you consider political types famous, I met quite a few while I was a legal intern for a house committee. I also worked in the spin room at one of the Bush v. Gore presidential debates.
For those readers, I went to a book discussion a few months ago and got to meet Sue Monk Kidd.
I have met a few other celebrities (quite a few in college), but I don't really have any celebrity friends.

I met Julia Roberts in 2001. It was when she was dating Danny Moder. They were at the hotel I worked at and he was filming a documentary. She WAS not friendly. I was so disappointed, but there's no way for a celeb to be happy all the time!
Last year my SIL hung out with/dated this guy that her and MH went to HS with who is now a pilot/chauffeur for the Nascar driver Ryan Newman. She went and visited him for a week and had dinner with Ryan and his family while she was there. We invited him to come play cards and drink with us after one of his races last spring, but he declined. Apparently he was to tired from driving his car for the past several hours.
