Slow today! What celebrities do you know / have met?

jessinsc · January 2011

I just heard his ( Chris Young) new song on the radio, and it made me think about what celebrities you know or have met. Also, any good stories to share about them?

jessinsc · January 2011

Chris Young and I went to the same high school. He is younger than me, but I remember him and his sister always sat on each others laps at lunch. So weird.

AvidVertigo · January 2011

I met David Cook. We are friends with his brother Andrew. I met him at our really good friends concert in Kansas City. He had just flew in. He came up and shook my hand. My DH went to high school with David and David later told DH's best friend that he couldn't believe my DH didn't congratulate him on winning American Idol. LOL DH thought he probably already heard that too much.

I have met Paul Jr from American Choppers. His girlfriend was super nice and I talked to her for a while.

I've met Stacy King, he is a great Bass Fisherman. (Okay, somehow my hick always has to come out)

Also - Joe Don Rooney from Rascal Flatts and Richocet

Zachary Levi - one of the lead actors in Chuck. I went to high school and had drama with him. I had a huge crush on him back in high school.

One day I was rushing to my drama class and slipped in the mud. Zach helped me up then said, "it doesn't look that bad." Of course my pants were covered in mud and I had to change into PE shorts before class started. hehe. Okay - that was more of a story about me.

Hmmm... he was a lead in the school play Oklahoma.

Oh and a big one is Levi is a stage name not his real last name. I knew him as Zach Pugh.

I met Redman! I am a big hip hop/rap fan and I was flying out of Atlanta to go to a conference for work about 3 years ago. I noticed him while we were going through security and I was telling my co-worker about him but she had no clue who he was. Then in order to get to your terminal you have to take a train below the airport and when we got onto the train there he was...Redman! The funny thing was that no one noticed him but me! So he got off at terminal A and we were going to terminal C. He got off and I was like dammit I should have gotten my picture with him or asked for his autograph so since we had some spare time before our flight left we got off the train at Terminal B and got back on going towards terminal A...then we were just hoping we could find him...and we did! I was like hey Redman can I get a picture and autograph...I think he might of been a little surprised but he was really sweet! We invited him to go have a drink with us but he said he didn't drink. So then he went on about how he comes to Atlanta alot because his son lives down here and he gave me his number so that we could hang out the next time he was in Atlanta. I never called him plus I really don't think it was really his number...but it was fun meeting him! Sorry so long!!!

I met Mario Lopez at a fundraiser. I've also met the band members of Carbon Leaf (but I don't think they're that big, more like local celebrities).

jessinsc · January 2011

Love the stories ladies! Growing up in Nashville, it wasn't abnormal to see country stars out and about town. Tim and Faith and George Jones are nice. Alan Jackson is a real jerk. He cut me off in the parking lot of a mexican restaurant he frequents, stole my spot, and flipped me the bird!

secretmemories13 · January 2011

Ive met all the hanson boys several times (they are awesome, my friend went on a date with the oldest one), sally struthers, tia and tamara mowry, Weird aL Yankovich, Frankie Munez (kinda a jerk), Johnny Lang, Melissa Joan Hart (total B*), Johnny Knoxville (much older looking in person, but chill), mike Piazza lol, and nsync ( my moms best friend was the chief of security for them and so was very hands on with them for a lot of years. I got invited to a lot of parties, but was too young at the time, my mom has met a lot of rap artists like Ice T etc. through her best friend), Brandi carlile (totally Awesome chick), and Jessica Simpson.

I used to be a personal assistant for a Ferrari Broker, who has delt with the whose who of the entertainment industry, and other top dogs. One of his clients was John Calley, who is the executive producer of the Davinci movies, anyway he set it up so we could go to the Indiana Jones premiere which was really awesome. I also met Jillian Michaels and a few other peeps through my old boss (mainly CEOs and Owners of major companies).

I have heard that from a few other people about Frankie Munez

I love country music, it's pretty much all I listen too, but Alan Jackson creeps me out and reminds me of a pedophile when I look at him and I just don't know why. I have to change the station if he comes on the radio.

I met Tom Brady when I was 16. I am a HUGE Patriots fan, I have a Patriots tattoo I collect anything to do with the Patriots it's a sick obsession and when I met him I cried uncontrollably for an hour and called everyone in my phone book. It was embarrassing. I broke down because he called me sweetheart when he was signing my jersey.

Then a few years ago the family of the Patriots members were staying at my hotel in Scottsdale for the Superbowl and Asante Samuel's cousin got caught smoking weed in his room, and Asante came in from the hotel down the street where the players were staying to sweet talk me out of pressing charges on his cousin. Which being an obsessive Patriots fan I decided not to call the cops, and of course the very friggen next day he dropped a touchdown pass and cost us the superbowl.

Love country music! That is so sad to hear about Alan Jackson though. I hate hearing stories like that because it shatters what I thought of them (though the celebrity gossip part of me loves it!)

I am/was related to Audrey Hepburn. My great uncle was her significant other/beau/boyfriend for the last decade of her life. She was absolutely wonderful and everything she ever seemed to be in interviews.

Mrs.T22308 · January 2011

My uncle is a pretty famous news reported (if you are from RI you probably know him).

I've met almost all the Reskins players from the past couple years... even passed a few to Chris Cooley (yum! LOL)

Thats really it for me.

StevieJo · January 2011

My husband knows Les Garland (The founder of MTV and VH1). He even sent our DD a gift when she was born, it was so sweet. Hopefully she'll someday thinks its as cool as we did.

My friend "dated" David Cook. By dated I mean they hung out a couple times, talked on the phone a lot and text messaged a lot. That was the extent of it. And unfortunately it ruined the 4 year relationship she was in. I couldn't believe she screwed up her relationship for a "celebrity".

LaurelBee · January 2011

I shared an elevator with Carrot Top in Vegas. I was pushing my H's grandma in a wheelchair and he actually held the elevator for us- it was pretty nice of him. He had 2 girls with him- how that happened I have no idea. Ewww

While on a flight to FL, I sat next to a guy who was on Amazing Race. The season he was on hadn't aired yet, so he said he couldn't tell me if he won or not. I guessed not since I was sitting in coach

Also, my sister went to college with Tony Romo (QB for the Cowboys) and she says she remembers seeing him singing kereoke really drunk at a party.

Wow...he used to be really cool - now he doesn't call anyone anymore and is hung up on his new life and forgot about everyone else. I am probably being nieve to think that any celebrity would not be this way...LOL Did your friend know him from CMSU?

shortms6 · January 2011

Darrell Green and several other former Redskins (Tim Johnson, Ernest Biner, and a few others). I used to go to the same church as them when I was a teenager. Tim Johnson was a close family friend at the time and came to my baptism, but we have since lost touch.

My cousin is Kyle from The Real World Chicago and then he played on Days of our Lives. He's in broadcast journalism for sports now. (Not a major celeb, but "known.")

gridlock48 · January 2011

I used to know Tom from Hedley (bass player)...He used to be in a band in Edmonton called Fat Bastard and then one in Vancouver called Jar. He's an awesome dude. He used to be super hard core with dreads and piercings and has tattoos all over him! Haha. But he deserves everything he has now- he's worked hard to get there!

clarku2000 · January 2011

I've met Tony LaRussa from working his ARF event (Animal Rescue Foundation). I had no idea who he was (he came to pick up his tickets from our will call window and I had to ask his name). Very nice man. From the same event, I met Keith Urban backstage, this was right before he hit it big and was all over the radio. He kind of kept to himself. I also met a couple of Oakland A's baseball players, including Barry Zito--who was the "hot" player at the time. He was younger, and I remember someone telling me some raunchy stories about him at a house party...which made me never want to meet him again.

Ashleygoo · January 2011

If you know indie music: Maria Taylor, Conor Oberst, Against Me, the guys of Saddle Creek, The Felice Brothers, Capgun Coup.

Stephanie2167 · January 2011

I met Chris Daughtry at the Viper Room in LA. He was really nice. I got a picture with him.

I also met Kevin Connolly when they were filming "He's Just Not That Into You" at our house in 2008. I "saw" Scarlett Johansson but she was too DIVA to be friendly.

twirlintami · January 2011

I was a contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" so I have met MeredithViera.

Lady Gaga dates a guy I know from high school and I met her at a local club when she was here for the holidays. She was very friendly.

My twin sister was the focus of MTV True Life and my little sister was on MADE.

When I was young I met Jonathan Brandis but I doubt any of you remember him. I used to LOVE him. : )

kirkette · January 2011

I've met a lot. I used to be a celebrity stylist ( fashion not hair), so it was part of my job. A few that I've worked with include:

Nicole Richie, Jordana Brewster, Jenny McCarthy. Mena Suvari, Quentin Tarantino, Shaq, Gary Payton, Lisa Leslie, Usher, R.Kelly, Snoop Dog, Misha Barton, Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamlin, Melissa Joan Hart, Gabrielle Union, Alex Wek, Tommy Hilfiger, Paula Abdul, Ryan Seacrest, Dennis Rodman, Chris Klein, Cindy Crawford, David Geffen, Yoko Ono, Janis Dickinson, Monica, and Alexis Bledel.

There are others that I met randomly when traveling and due to part of LA where we live: Selma Blair, Muhammad Ali, Travis Barker, and various reality show folks.

A few other celebrities went to my high school. The most famous one was, Milo Ventimiglia from Heros. He was our Baccalaurate speaker.

WildcatPrincess · January 2011

I'm pretty boring, there aren't a lot of celebrities wandering around New Hampshire :P

But I did meet New Kids on the Block two summers ago. My sis and I bought VIP passes and met them before a show. I pretty much only talked to Donnie, though (he's my fav). He took a pic of us with his Blackberry and sent it through Twitter

He's a really cool guy. We ran into him later that night at the casino. He really loves his fans, he was hanging around talking with a big group of girls, giving out hugs left and right.

This summer I hope to meet some of the cast from the TV show Supernatural (it's my fav). They're doing a convention in Boston, which is less than an hour away.

Jenn11234 · January 2011

I grew up next door to John Boehner (speaker of the house), his daughters babysat me

This and Nick Lachey partied on our houseboat for the labor day fireworks in Cincinnati a couple years in a row...that does it for me!

Oh what a neat connection! Yeah Alan Jackson is a first class prick in my book. He also was suing to have my H's customers' dog put down because it ate his llama. Yes, AJ's llama was not kept in his yard, wandered to the neighbors house, where their large dog somehow managed to eat it. Gross, I know. But, AJ was so mad he took the neighbors to court to have their dog put to sleep. 1. He should have had his "pet" contained to his yard and 2. Who the eff has a llama for a pet?!

stella_blu · January 2011

Mike Ditka went to our church in New Orleans while he was a coach there. We never talked to him much and everyone was very respectful of his privacy.
