Celebrities....
What celebrities have you seen IRL? Did you talk to him/her? Concerts don't count.
Re: Celebrities....
Ray Liotta on Bourbon Street... he looked like $hit and had an entourage protecting him.
Dante Stallworth in the NO airport... we were next to each other going thru security. I said hi.
Thats all I can think of.
ETA: Oh, REO Speedwagon and Styx. I helped them park the tour bus when I was working at the Ionia Free Fair hahaha. They were pretty funny.
Bob Eucker(sp) - Mr Belvedere, Major League
He was sort of a d!ck.
There may have been others but I really don't recall I usually won't go up to famous people.
- I met and hung out with Jason Mraz
- I stood in line next to Jim Brewer (the comedian) at a restaurant in Chicago
Toby Keith on the assembly line floor (trim line 6 to be exact) at the Dearborn Truck Plant while he was filming a Ford commercial. He is probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Took the time to talk to a ton of people and sign autographs. He signed 2 for me, one for me and one for my sister.
Zachery Ty Brian (Brad from Home Improvement) in the Big House during a football game. His gf went to UM and he was sitting right in front of me. His gf was pissed b/c all these girls kept coming over to talk to him.

Bill Laimbeer - he used to live on Cass Lake & my parents have a house on a canal that goes to Cass Lake. We would see him out there all the time when I was kid.
Arthur Penhallow - Also used to party on Cass Lake. I was a kid, so I didn't talk to him but my parents did.
Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimone and Cindy from Real Housewives of NYC. DH and I stumbled upon them taping in Central Park back in October. They just played that scene a couple weeks ago, but we couldn't see us in the background. Ha!

I met Tara Lipinski & Apolo Anton Ohno at some health event at the Silverdome a few years back.
I know concerts don't count, but I have to mention this one... It was the Vans Warped tour in 99 or 2000. I was standing in line w/ my friends and this guy asks if we want back stage passes to meet the a few of the bands. We got to hang out in their pre-concert room and BS w them before they went on. It was Nofx and Green Day. It was mind blowing at the time, but looking back it seemed totally pervy that these older guys were flirting and hugging on a bunch of 16-17 year old girls, lol.
Does Tom Izzo count? We were stopped at a pedestrian crossing on campus. He was jogging but I was just walking to class. He said hi to me.
I know concerts don't count but I touched Keith Urban's arm at a concert two summers ago. That was fun and DH got a pic of it.
Tom Hanks - Disneyland with kids. He was going into the wheelchair access area on a ride.
Parker Posey - Coffee shop in Hollywood, she was super nice
John Cho (Peed on Stiffler in American Pie)- The Shoe Bar in Hollywood. I got a pic with him and he was really shy.
John Cusack - A bar in Hollywood. We had a convo because my cousin knew his buddy.
Johnny Knoxville - A restaurant in Malibu. His buddy stood him up for dinner and my other cousin knew him so he ate with us. This was before he was super famous.
Vern Troyer (Minny me!) - My cousin's sound studio in Santa Monica.
Justin Timberlake - The Hollywood YMCA working out with a trainer.
Zac De La Rocha - (Rage Against The Machine Front Man) A coffee shop in Hollywood. I got a pic and chatted! He was super dirty looking. My brother ruined the film so I didn't get to get it developed
Frankie Muniz - A Clippers b-ball game
Nigel Barker - A beach in Santa Monica with his wife and kid(s)?
I think that's it...
Robin Leach- yes, we hung out for awhile. He was my friend's grandparent's next door neighbor in LV so we would visit with him when we went there.
Katie Holmes- yes. Unfortunately. It was prior to her Tom Cruise craziness though.
Flea sat behind us during the opening act at their concert. H touched him. Does that count?
I rode in an elevator with Puddle of Mudd. I didn't know it was them until the roadie told me. It was at the 89x birthday bash.
I think that's it....
My Happy House
How cool! I hate Kelly because of her body.
Last summer we went to Yellowstone on an extended family trip. One day we were entering the park and the ranger at the station told us that John Cusack, John McGinley, and some hockey player had just come into the park. We made it our mission to find them, which we did. We pulled off in a little spot just off the river and found a group of guys skinny dipping. Turns out the hockey player was Chris Chelios and we saw his, um, member, when he got out of the water!
Of course all of us girls freaked out. And my dad says "Great. We go on this fantastic trip and this is going to be the only part you girls rememebr from it". Lol.
I met Julie Andrews at Mario's downtown when I was like 6 years old. My grandma took my sister and I over there to get her autograph. She was very nice.
Rasheed Wallace sat behind me in first class on a return flight from Las Vegas (I had surprised H with a trip to Vegas for his 30th birthday). Wallace and an entourage of 2 guys were the last to board the plane. I think they might have even delayed us leaving the gate- they looked pretty rough. Wallace sat right behind me and had his long ass legs jammed into the back of my seat. Mr. GlitteryHooks would not let me recline at all for the entire flight home for fear I'd hurt Wallaces's knees and injure him for the season. I was pissed- I paid a lot of money for that first class ticket. Also he slept the whole ride home with his mouth open,snoring quietly. He refused to sign autographs for the flight attendant. boo!
This wasn't me, but I think it is funny. My stepdad was bartending at a fancy pants restaurant. Tara Reid came in with her then Red Wing boyfriend. My stepdad was older - probably close to 60 at the time.
Anyway, she was a big biotch and kept demanding things & blowing smoke in people's faces. My stepdad was not impressed. She finally said, "don't you know who I am?!" He said no and went about his business. He called my sister later that night to find out who Tara Reid was.
Funny thing about my stepdad is that even if he knew she was famous, he wouldn't have given a crap.
Does my cousin count?? He's been in 4 movies and is filming right now with Emma Watson.
Kid Rock - bumped into him at Champp's on Big Beaver.
She seems like she's a biotch.
That's awesome! I love Rasheed and his sassiness! Sorry about not being able to recline.
I forgot a couple.
A few years ago I did a library event with the Pistons. My mom came with me and while I was off doing something, she was chit-chatting with someone. Later she shows me who she was talking to and that he was a "nice young man." LOL She was talking to Ben Wallace. Only she wouldn't know who he was back when the whole Fear the Fro thing was going on.
I won tickets and meet and greet passes for the American Idol tour the year Kris Allen won. Adam Lambert is even more attractive in person and super friendly too.

Met the Red Wings that were doing the charity softball games in the summer of 89 or 90. My next door neighbor invited them over to the house for pizza and beer (my neighbor organized the charity softball game). It was fun. I have a few pics from my parents kitchen window. We even had to chase Stephen's dog down the street after he took off.
Tim "The Tool Man" Allen. I go to church with his parents and I see him every Christmas and sometimes one other holiday.
I know David Osbourne. He is a wonderful piano player form Vegas. My old boss flew him in for one of his Christmas parties and I got to take him to the airport the next day. He recently played for Obama at the White House for their Christmas concert and he is now traveling to other states to play for some well known people.
Married Bio with reviews | Our Journey
I've met a few project runway people -
Jay Maccarroll - super nice and fun guy.
Chloe Dao (which is not her real name) - super super nice.
Kara Janx - also nice.
this fall i'll meet Suede.
D12 - for rappers they are really nice and funny.
Trick Trick - Super nice. If you met him you would have no idea who he was.
Ty Pennington - Nice. Good looking but not as hot as you would expect him to be from seeing him on tv.
Marie Osmond - Really nice.
A bunch of Piston players.
I'm really running out of ways to say these people were nice. I can't think of any celebrities that i have met that weren't nice.
Owen Wilson when I was in Hawaii. He is super short IRL.
Kid Rock at 5th Avenue in RO one night. No one bothered him either, I am sure he appreciated it. He was wearing overalls.
Brandon Inge at Panera in Ann Arbor. I really couldn't think of anything nice to say to him (he is a dirty sleazeball), so I just walked away. I don't think anyone else recognized him.
Chris Martin touched my hand at a Coldplay concert back in 2005...does that count?
I'm not surprised! Most Hollywoodites are! My brother's ex-wife who is about 6 foot went to a red carpet premier and said she was a head taller than everyone!
My Happy House
When I lived close to NYC I saw so many. I laugh when my friends say they never see any, I'm like, "Um, do you look around?"
Alan Rickman (Prof. Snape in HP) - I think he checked me out...super nice, especially with the kids who came up to him
Hugh Jackman - HOT!!!!!!!!! Didn't take much time for fans though, thought he could have done more.
Mark Valley (Human Target and Fringe) - Really hot, don't remember much, he was nice.
Will Smith - Really tall, really nice. Told off his bodyguard (smaller than he was) because he wouldn't let the kids up to him. I got to shake his hand and saw them rehearse the scene in MIB2 where he dumps his new partner on the bench. Also saw the director of the film, but can't remember his name and I guess Patrick Warburton was there too, but he didn't come over our way.
Bill Bonds @ Metro Airport - Hairpiece looks worse in person and I think he was hungover.
Saw Law & Order filming in Brooklyn, so glad I saw Jerry Orbach before he died, didn't get to talk to any of them.
Saw Mel Brooks & Anne Bancroft while at a theater, my roomie got Mel's autograph, I was in the bathroom...
That's all I can think of now, but I'm sure there's more.
Mommy's little helper
Mine is going to be pathetic...
The only person that is coming to mind is Kwame Kilpatrick, and I really would consider him more a D-bag than a celebrity. We saw him walking through Metro Airport with a woman (his wife maybe?) and some bodyguards. He kept nodding to everyone as people walked by, and it was kinda' funny.
Katie Holmes & Chris Klein when they were together. I was their waitress one night.
Joey from NKOTB - we were touring the Chicago Art museum together.
A few of the Wings back in '98-'99.
One of the New York Islanders (hockey) is my step-cousin.
Probably not. Haha.
My Happy House
I've met all the members of Barenaked Ladies before they split up, 3 times actually. I used to hang outside the palace after concerts for the bands. After about 2 hours they come out one by one, sign autographs & take pictures.
I think that's the only celebrities that i've met. I have a few friends who have met & hung with Kid Rock like just at random bars.
One of my parents close friend used to go to parties at Bob Seger's house a long time ago.
