Which celebrities have you met in RL?

[Argenin.]

I just wanna know, "Which celebrities have you met in RL?"

So far I've seen Snoopdogg at the mall.

That guy from Cousin Skeeter at Wendy's.

Eduardo Palomo, who is a Mexican actor that stars in telenovelas, but he just recently died I saw him with my mom at little shopping plaza.

I saw Eddy Murphy at Universal Studios.

Edit Gonzalez, a Mexican actress, on an airplane. ( I travel Mexico a lot ^^; )

I think there's more, but i can't remember. :/
It would be cool if you posted pictures of them too.

 

[Fellina]

I saw Steve Martin while on vacation in Venice (yes, Italy). My dad got him on tape trying to hide from us taping him, haha.

I met an asston of people while working at a Mail Boxes Etc. near the Hancock building in downtown Chicago. We were the closest place to all the fancy hotels on Michigan Avenue that everyone stays at, so we had a few notables wander in. Among them:

Linda Fiorentino (Dogma and Men in Black) came in to buy a bunch of boxes. I didn't recognize her til I rang up her credit card, she's actually shorter than me IRL (maybe 5'2" at most). We chatted about Kevin Smith while I waited for her card to go through, and she promised me an autographed photo of herself and Smith for my little sister, but never delivered. ;_;

Ernie Banks (aka Mr. Cub) was a regular customer, with a rented mailbox at our address. We shipped a lot of stuff to his Florida home for him, and I still have some of the autographed cards he gave me.

Norm Van Lier is another regular customer- he was a former Chicago Bull player, and does sports commentary for Fox. He came in one day while me and my co-worker (who basically had the run of the place) had a makeshift basketball hoop made of a cardboard box taped to the wall, and were throwing a ball made of a plastic bag wrapped in packing tape into it. Norm joined in and played with us for a few, so in a way you can say I shot hoops with a former Chicago Bull, haha. He always called me "baby girl" too, which still makes me giggle.

Ditka (aka DA COACH) came into the store once, and promptly left to let his wife handle his business while he waited outside in his Escalade, lol. She had the biggest rock I'd ever seen in my life . . .

And although I never met them in person, I also got to pack up personal belongings from Billy Joel and AC/DC as well. Billy Joel's stuff were birthday gifts he'd recieved at his party in Chicago, he was sending them home to New York. We read all the cards. For AC/DC, we packed a guitar the whole band had signed, and was sending to a charity auction. My co-worker Nick was a huge AC/DC fan and a good guitar player, he jammed a little bit on it before we packed it up, lol. Played Back in Black, naturally.

[Flameass]

Kiefer and father Donald Sutherland at the Orford ski station.

 

[Draciot]

Joseph Stalin is my uncle, does that count? (any of you all that know me well will get this)

But seriously, I've met the entire team of the Kansas City Royals (this was about 10 years ago).

I met all of the Texas Rangers, and managed to grab baseball signed by all of them (this was about 7 years ago).

I met Troy Dorsey, a World Champion Kickboxer/Boxer several times (I went to school with his daughter for a few years.)

I met Siegfried and Roy on my one trip to Vages when I was 6.

Hmm, I know there's more, but I can't seem to think of them at the moment...

 

[Mr.Wonko]

I told Victor Wooten he was the bees' knees.

 

[Halifirien]

Most of mine seem to be writers. I've seen Alice Walker and Maya Angelou, which was pretty cool. I met Denise Giardina when she was running lights for a theater production my buddy was in and thought she was a cold witch.

I've met Jesco White, cult celebrity from the "Dancing Outlaw" documentary.

I had a chance to meet Tony Hawk several years back. I didn't know who he was at the time so I didn't to it. I'm still kicking myself in the ass over that one.

 

[Audino]

I've met the New Jersey Devils and their minor league team Albany River Rats on several occasions. Also many of the coaches and such like Robbie Ftorek, Lou Lamoriello, Pat Burns, etc.

Many people that wrestled for ECW I have met. I went to shows a lot in Poughkeepsie, Queens, and White Plains.

The whole cast of American Choppers with the exception of Paul Sr. He must have been off that day.

I've met a lot of people in NYC. Noreaga, Capone (rapper, not gangster) Tara Reid, Elle MacPherson, Jaime Pressly, Sarah Jessica Parker/Matthew Broderick, Vinny Pastore, Joan Rivers.

Where my house is, there area a few people that live nearby. Sally Jesse Raphael lives about 15 minutes up the hill where all the nice, big houses are. 10 minutes the other way, James Earl Jones has a nice piece of property. See him all the time around town. My favorite meeting was Mark Hamill. I was working at the local grocery store, and he came on my line. I'm a huge Star Wars fan so I recognized him. I guess he was visiting James Earl. I played stupid, I said "Anyone ever tell you that you look just like Mark Hamill?" He told me that he indeed heard that a lot, so I just kind of chuckled. After I rang him up, I said "Hey man, take it easy." He replied "May the force be with you." and smiled. It was definitely him. Had the same scar, same voice. Good stuff.

 

[jender]

These are the kinds of men that Jender attracts:


When I was 14 I was asked out by Dustin Diamond (Screech from Saved By The Bell) Yeah....he used to call me...a lot....he got the number off of a fan letter that my sister wrote to him. Apparetnyl she had sent a pic of herself along with it (that I was in) and he and I were the same age....she still thinks that I "stole him away" >< Yeah - {Screech} {You can have this} {PLEASE}

When I was in college - I met Carrot Top after one of his shows (I had a friend who worked backstage at Miller Auditorium, where he would go on his college tour) he kissed my hand and told me which hotel he was staying at....and which room number... :?

When I was 18 I met Mickey Dolenz from The Monkees. I had such a HUGE crush on him when I was little (when they had thier 25th Anniversary Tour I was like 8 - they were showing the old tv show on MTV - I still <3 their music ^^) anyway - he was mean to me. I was heartbroken.

I met Wierd Al backstage when I was 13. My sister was a fan so my mom got us tickets....I thought I was "too cool" to go - but it ended up being one of the best concerts I have ever seen. Very theatrical <3 He was shy and very nice.

Josh worked sound at the Shakespeare Theatre in DC for a few years when I moved here. They usually tried to get one B List celeb. in per season - so I met Judith Light (from Who's the Boss) she is WAY TOO THIN - sickly thin, even....but seemed very nice. Also Kelly Mgillis from TOP GUN...she is (seriously) all cracked out now - she has definitely let herself go...mentally....it was almost unnerving to be in the same room as her....very odd....verrrry odd....I think we also saw the guy who played Jeffery the Butler on The Fresh Prince...he was cool, and the guy who played Cosby's dad on The Cosby Show - Josh only had wonderful things to say about the way he treated everyone involved in the shows...

Lastly - I did a play with John Driscoll - who had been on a season of Dawsons Creek and is now "Coop" On GUIDING LIGHT. He was my love interest in the show - she we had to kiss a zillion times...seeing him on tv now is so wierd. He was one of those people who KNEW how attractuve he was, so he felt that it was ok to say things like "Hey Jen - can I touch your boobs before Act 2?" :shock: Um....no.... :x

I almost forgot - I went to college with Greg Winter who is on the Chris Isaak show. We went to a lot of the same parties, and my ex had a dorm next door to his. There were a few drunken kisses...I had the biggest crush on him...but alas - nothing more.

Also when I did extra work on West Wing - I got to say hi to Stockard Channing {GODDESS} <3 and when I did National Treasure I had a scene where I stood near Nic Cage (dickhead} {you can have this} he wouldn't allow anyone who wasn't famous to look his way, it was - yeah. Oh - and I met George Romero (producer of Night of the Living Dead) when I did DIAMOND DEAD - the musical version of a film they are producing currently.

[Ecks]

Man.. you guys have met a lot of famous people.

The only person I've ever met was a WWF wrestler. I was working at a small amusement park called Miracle Strip here in Panama City (well actually out at the beach) and there was a buzz that Mick Foley (aka, Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack) was in the park with his family. Sure enough he was, and I got to meet him and say hi face to face. Let me tell you, that dude is big and tall (you'd never guess by watching him on TV, he seems like one of the smaller wrestlers). He's also a pretty nice guy. His wife was kinda funny looking, pretty though, just her hair was all braided up (like freaking Brandy - the singer) and it just looked wierd, and both his son and daughter were just having a fun time. I'd guess they were both like around the age of 10 or younger then.

I had always thought his name was Nick Foley, because back when I usued to watch WWF that always seemed to sound like what the announcers were calling him. So here I am saying "Hello, hey your Nick Foley right?"

Him "No it's Mick Foley"

Me "Ah.. Oh, right" (thinking he was just kinda trying to hide his identity or something, looking back i sounded like such a dick) "Well I hope you're having a good time."

I shook his hand and he entered the "haunted house" attraction. Overall he was a very nice dude.

 

[Palum_Q]

I haven't met many people beyond like short conversations....

I've had a quick conversation wtih Jay Mohr..(umm.not sure of the spelling) when he was filming in Calgary. Actually all these meetings are in Calgary..lol.

I saw Cuba Gooding Jr. when he was filming Rat Race and talked about his Men of Honor performance.

I see Danny Heatley (a hockey player) in the clubs often. My friends got a photo with him. He's kind of the sit at the bar kind of person.

And I've had classes with Martha Hart...(Bret Hart's sister in law). She's a really really nice lady.

This would be the extent of my celebrity meetings.. I think more or less I freeze up..haha...

 

[Lanien]

I've met a bunch living in the NYC area.

I've met the Yankees and Rangers several times and have many autographs. Best has been Don Mattingly and Mark Messier.

I've also volunteered at the Tribeca Film Festival. I met Robert Deniro, Alec Baldwin, the Olsen Twins, Donald Sutherland, and some others that escape me at the moment.

I go to college at Hofstra University, which is where the Jet's training camp is, so I've met a bunch of those guys.

Just a short list for now. I'll compile the random NYC sitings.

 

[Panda]

I met a bunch of bands from throwing shows.. down by law, discount, the skatalites, etc

but my favorite moment ever was when i was on nofx's tour bus, i met eric melvon and fat mike.. best thing that ever happened to me..

i never met any real famous people though.

 

[Aubrie]

Hmmm celebrities...

D-Loc and Loudogg from the Kottonmouth Kings. They were awesome. Hung outside with everyone waiting for the concert. Loudogg sat at the merch stand signing his calenders showing off his new drum set for an hour before he went on stage,

Big-B, another artist at the concert, also sat as his merch standing selling stuff and signing autographs before he took the stage,

Art Alexakis, from Everclear, was walking around downtown one day before he had a concert here. He used to live around town not sure if he still does.

Emmit Smith, Troy Aikman?, and Nate Newton from the Dallas Cowboys during a summer training camp when they were still training in Austin, Texas. Nate would sit out in his golf cart for hours after the training was over signing everyones autographs. He sat for 4 hours once just to get everyone.
