Fun question Smiley smile Ever met anyone or seen anyone up close that is famous? Ive seen Sandra Bullock in Vegas about 15 feet away while she was filming "Miss Congeniality 2", and while stopped at a red light, Brad Pitt pulled up beside me on his BMW street bike, lifted his viser and winked at me.....not kidding! He was in my city filming "The Assisination of Jesse James". It was a good thing I was stopped otherwise I would have probably driven off the road. Anyone have a cool story to share?

    Where to start- Football players. Giff Neilson is a good family friend. David Carr was a former client of mine, and I used to go to bbqs at his house with most of the team at the time. Went to high school with both Steve and Seth McKinney, and was decent friends with both of them.

    Actors- Matthew McConaughey. Kate Beckinsale. Bruce Willis. Sandra Bullock. Jessica Biel.

    Musicians- I used to jam with Ryan and Justin from Blue October. My old band even opened for them once with they were nobody's. Vertical Horizon. Breaking Benjamin. Dave Matthews. Lynyrd Skynard. Saliva. Disturbed. Done alot of collaboration with Billy Corgan. Slapped Kanye West- he's a bigger douche than he's portrayed in the media! Destiny's Child. Paul Wall. Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Safety Suit. Roger Ceager. Eli Young band- good friend with Mike and James. Should I keep going?

    And my personal favorite- Colin Powell. Such a class act!

    Tina from Glee (Jenna Ushkawitz) was my vice president in my class in HS. We had every class together.... we got along all and all, but kinda bitchy.

    My old "boy toy" just won a grammy for Eminem's new CD bc he co wrote and did the music for the album. His name iS Danny Keys in the industry

    Were I work Coheed & Cambria hangs out and jams all the time...well wen their in the states. Great guys too! for any rockers out there Smiley smile

    I used to hang out w/Hallie Kate Eisenberg when she worked at a play next to the play i was working at. Christine Ebersole was also in the play.

    I met Rosie odonnell on her show for Irish Dancing for ST. Pattys Day.

    I cant remember them all but there is alot, due to my grandfather was a famous musician and i was a theatre major. But all an all some great people.

    My FH and I visited his brother at Bethesda Navel Hospital in Maryland, because he was hurt in Afghanistan. The night we got there my FSIL told me that A-ROD (those of you who don't watch baseball, he plays for the yankee's and dated cameron diaz) I couldn't believe it! We were hoping Cameron would come with him, but she hadn't. While I was walking to FBIL I saw Arod in the hall, I said hi to him, and he asked me how I was doing. Really nice guy with super sexy accent. He ended up visiting all of us in FBIL room, we each got a ball signed by him, and pictures as well. I thought it was really nice of him to visit with all the hurt service men.

    I have some random ones....

    Met Jim Breuer (comedian) and James Hetfield (Metallica) at Animal Kingdom a few months ago... they were hanging out with their familes, got Breuer's wife to snap a pic of us with him : )

    Met Joey Pantoliano (Sopranos) at a heart walk locally, very funny in person!

    Met and had hockey practice with Mark Johnson (he scored 2 of the 4 goals in the 1980 Olympic hockey game against the Soviet Union(they made the movie Miracle based on it)). He's my favorite, super smart and down to earth.

    I met Bret Michaels and the band Poison when I was a little girl. I was in the hospital for some heart problems in a small wing of the hospital and they were there. I talked to them for like 20 minutes and didn't know who they were til a whole bunch of nurses flew down the hallway asking for autographs. But I was like 10, lol. One of their members fell and were in the hospital for their leg. They were really nice despite all the ripped denim and eyeliner Smiley winking

    And I met Motion City Soundtrack at my college lol I love them so much. And I also met Lifehouse there as well.

    Dan Marley from the NBA is actually my cousin. Even though I haven't seen him for like 5 years lol

    Ok... I have met Hillary Clinton (she came to my elementary school) and we shook hands!! I was stoked!

    Then later, I met Kurt Warner and his wife and also 3 of the Rams' cheerleaders (I think I still have a signed poster of them).

    I know the peron who is in charge of Project Peanut Butter (if that counts.... FH is friends with them) and also a band that is called This is Energy (once again, friends of FH) who is semi-popular I guess.

    I use to like seeing President Obama when he was a senatorbut now it's more of a pain. Last here he had a birthday party at Graham Elliot restaurant, literally one block over from my home. All the streets where blocked off, it was a nightmare. When he is in town he works out at the same health club I am a member of. It's a pain anytime he's in town.

    I spoke to Alanis Morrissette on the radio.. made a fool of myself because my mind went blank and I stuttered something stupid.. I think she thinks I'm a stalker when really I'm just a fan.
    I met Death Cab for Cutie when working at the mall customer service. They needed info about the area. Sucks because I had no idea who they were and they were telling me that they were a band and touring Canada or something and I was just like "that's cool! I'll check you out sometime" and became a huge fan a year later. I thought their name was weird at the time.

    I also went to college with Reliant K, and while I didn't meet any of the actors, I know all the rescue swimmers in the movie The Guardian (with Kevin Costner). I made it into the special features - my two seconds of fame Smiley smile

    I'm so jealous of some of you! I've only met one famous person and not someone I cared to meet. My friend and I were at Concord Mills Mall (NC) and were walking behind these two white kids and some big black guy (I thought it looked strange). One of the guys I thought was a girl (with super short hair) so I was poking fun of him. Well later we went into hot topic and here comes the same 3 people. Ended up being Aaron Carter, his friend, and body guard. We asked for his autograph (he had already signed a couple) and he said sure but his body guard wouldn't let him.

    Didn't see them but Nappy Roots had been at the mall too.
