Met George W Bush while he was president. Awesome, awesome man!

I got to hear GWB speak last year and it was incredible. I already liked him, but to hear him talk about his time in office and why he made decisions he made, made me respect him and the office of the President even more. Because of that encounter, even though I do not like Obama and disagree with him on almost everything, I respect him more simply because of the office he holds. Unfortunately, after GWB spoke, he had to leave immediately so there was no meeting him. It's always been a dream of mine to meet him! I am always on the lookout for him though because he lives in the area

He is definitely very genuine and down to earth. I would love to listen to him speak now that I can appreciate it more.

Obama actually made a stop at our county fair this past summer. It was unplanned and he stated that he saw the signs while driving through and wanted to stop for a funnel cake. Unfortunately, he was told he couldn't answer questions or speak here though, because our area is so anti-Obama. I really wish they would've let him talk. Maybe it would've given some people a little respect for him.

Helped a friend who was the opening act for Kenny Chesney near our town. He's a cocky asshole. Plain and simple. The night ended with me telling him that he's just a pretty face and voice, but has no manners. He flipped me off.

Had drinks with the band 30 Seconds to Mars in a pub in London before they were famous. They kept saying their goal was to be known all around the world someday. We cheered our drinks to it and I didn't think to get their autographs. :-( Heck, every band wants to be famous.

First, was it Kenny Chesney or the opening act that was a dickhole?

Second, how did you NOT ask Jordan Fucking Catalano for his autograph?!?!

Billy Joel has or had a house in my home town. He used to ride around town on his motorcycle all the time and go to this one bar, get sloshed and drive home. We would see him all the time but he hated speaking to people.

Besides that nothing... I have a bunch of celebrity's that live within 2-10 mins of my house but I've never seen any of them.

My friend did gardening work at Brad Pitt and Angelina's summer rental in NY one summer and the kids were playing peekaboo in the window with him.

What are the degrees?

My mom knew is mom. She student taught in Mrs. Bacon's classroom and has been to his childhood home. She met one or two of the Bacon children but never Kevin.

My cousins went to the same preschool as Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's kids, so I got to meet them one morning when I was visiting. I now know why she is anti-paparazzi. It was ridiculous!

I've met and hugged Sara Bareilles. She is so sweet yet very tiny. My fav!

My mom has met Meg Ryan (again, because my cousins went to preschool with her daughter).

At the airport leaving for our honeymoon in October, we saw Ted Cruz after the shutdown was ended.

1. Kenny Chesney was the dick. :-(

2. At that time they were just a band chilling at a pub in London waiting for their turn on the open mic. I had no idea about his acting career until H later told me he was in Panic Room. Oops.

I'm terrible. Toby Keith walked into the bar we were at in Vegas and everyone started freaking out. I acted like it was no big deal. H asked me if I knew who it was that walked in with the cowboy hat on. "Some guy who's going to sing on stage"........... We were at Toby Keith's Bar & Grill. You would've thought I would have pieced that together. Nope, just another random country guy getting on stage to sing.

Yeah, don't take me in front of celebrities. I have no idea who they are in a crowd.

DangerMuffin23 · May 2014

I rode in an elevator with Michael Jordan, I met Shaq at work. I met Vanessa Williams in universal studios, and last year I met justin bieber randomly in Vegas (bachelorette party) and he congratulated me on my upcoming wedding. Can't think of anyone else unless you include comedians after the show at the Improv.

FutureMrsWright2012 · May 2014

I had a friend who almost got into a fight with Brock Lesner because he was hitting on my friend's girlfriend (my friend would have never had a chance, quite comical really)... I have another friend who dated an old school former baseball player about a year ago (Thad Bosley). That's all I can think of, but like a few other PP's I'm generally unimpressed by celebrities.

Sure did. He was very selfish and disrespectful in this situation. My friend refuses to open for him from now on, and last time he played here he had to fly in an opening act.

I saw Alicia Silverstone at a movie premiere in London. I should have thought to ask her for fertility advice.

Where's @LuckyAngel07 and that pic of her and David Boreanaz?

Oh, you mean this one?

I've also met Ne-Yo while doing an exclusive invitation Malibu Red Concert (he's a collaborator on the brand).

I sort of met Danny Briere at another liquor promotion I was doing for Malibu. He was just hanging out at the place with a couple of people, enjoying some chicken wings! I snapped a pic of him covertly, but I did end up going up to the table and asking if they'd like a drink.

And my brain has just quit working, but a former NBA player bought us all drinks at my friend's bachelorette party several years ago. After scrolling through years worth of pics on her FB, it crapped out on me before I could even see if she had the pic on there, hahaha. I wish I could remember his name!
