Hm...I go to UCLA so they film a lotta stuff here =P Haven't see as many as I'd like to but I've gotten my picture taken with Lacey Chabert (little sister in Party of Five) and Reese Weatherspoon. I've seen Neve Campbell, Phil Jackson, Three of the Olympic Gymnasts (they attend UCLA), and Michelle Kwan. Not quite as lucky as Zero though...they didn't pose as seductively

<< really at the end of the day, they still put their pants on one leg at a time >>


Jmman, you don't put your pants on until the end of the day?

I used to live in Portland, so really the only celebs I've met/seen are basketball players. I've seen many of them, but I have only actually met Cliff Robinson (twice), Clyde Drexler, Jim Paxson, and Dr. Jack Ramsay. I also met Wolfman Jack (the radio DJ) when I was a kid.

Hmm, Richard Riordan, mayor of Los Angeles. Saw Kobe and his gf once at 3rd St. Promenade. This year I saw Schwarzenegger at the Promenade as well. I guess I must no frequent the &quot;celeb&quot; hotspots as much as some other ppl, either by chance or choice. Oh, I saw Shaq once cruising around Marina del Rey in his Benz.

I went to see Shaft on a tuesday night this summer with my fiancee (now my wife) and a friend of ours. There were six people in the theater (including us). Eddie George and a couple of his friends sat right behind us. We got his autograph after the movie. He thought the movie sucked as much as we did

I met &quot;Jaws&quot; from the James Bond movies a long time ago. I think his name is Richard Kairn? Anyone know?

Anyway - I stood eye level to his knee-cap. I have a photo somewhere...

i was in an art class @ my school and alicia silverstone was in one of the earlier classes. her class would always not end on time, so we'd have to come in when everyone is just packing up -- her drawings are ok (good enough for art 101).

i also saw lisa howard (from highlander the series and earth: final conflict) at the sherman oaks mall in the fast-food section.

the lakers used to practice at our school gym, and i remember my sister almost backed up into one of their players (i think it was rick fox).

and on the way to a lacrosse match one afternoon, my friends and i saw diane keaton stuck in traffic with us (if i remember correctly, i believe she was driving a red sports car).

Heheh.. forgot this one, which is one of my more funny semi-celeb stories.

I was like 17, and on a trip with my mom/stepdad driving down from MN to go to Galveston, TX. LONG ASS drive, like 30+ hours or so. So we get down into houston (we drove straight-through, alternating drivers) and decided to go to the Houston Space museum thingy there. (Pretty sweet place, if you go, TAKE THE TOUR, it's pretty awesome.. You get to see all sorts of cool things, I just mostly ignored the guide and looked at the more interesting happenings. You get to see mission control, etc.)

So, we're in this museum, and then a whole busload or two of fricken bueaty pagent chicks comes out. Turns out they were doing the Ms. Teen USA thing. These wimmin are HOT, especially if your a horny 17 year old. There were obviously 50(+) of them, so there was always a couple near me at all times. Unfortunately driving for like 25 hours straight doesn't make you smell/look/feel that great so I could not get up the balls to get my picture taken with a few of them. But holy christ they were hot. Talked to a couple of them, and they didn't even seem all that stupid.


Oh oh, and my Larry Flynt number is 1! (if you know someone who knows larry flynt, your number is 1. if you know larry flynt, your number is 0) I talked on the phone with his daughter, who is surprisingly extremely anti-porn. Basically was offering her advice on what to do when her domain was hijacked. Almost sold her on some webhosting from me. Ah well.


Anyways, thats my last funny story.

Oh man..I forgot to mention seeing Shaq once. We were leaving the LA auto show, and apparently, the Laker game just ended. It was funny, after seeing all these Ferrari's and Porsches, I looked over to the passenger window...and I'm like.. OMG! That's a Ferrari! Then I look through the passenger window, and I'm like OMG! That's Shaq! Hehe... he was in the car right next to us. Fortunately it was a little congested on the road, so we were able to chill with Shaq for a minute or so. Haha.. chill = oogling him. We had no shame. I still don't see how he fits into that Ferrari.

We have a check from Paul Newman here in the office that was written to my boss for charity stuff.

I also used to see MC Hammer and his dancers all the time at the mall here. He used to live in Fremont, CA, and was always up at the mall. One time, he was walking out of the door in front of me, I had a bunch of bags, and the dude just lets the door slam in my face. I was like, &quot;HAS BEEN!!!!&quot; Another time he was at the bowling alley making a fool of himself on a video game, every time he did something good, he would make all kinds of noise.

EDIT: Forgot, I also met Jeff Gordon when he was like 15 years old. That was way before he was famous though.

When I was driving tow truck on sunset hwy (oregon) one of my magnetic lights on the car I was towing came off and hit a rolls royce.. the driver pulled beside me and told me to pull over. I thought he looked a bit familiar, and my customer screamed &quot;that was scottie pippen&quot; I dont watch basketball, or know a thing about it, but when he got out of the car, I knew it was him. He looked over his car for about two seconds, then said, &quot;a couple of scratches, no big deal&quot; and was really nice, not something you would expect from a superstar.. he was really cool, turns out he had been golfing out at pumpkin ridge golf course (arguably oregon's finest course) and was heading back to portland. I was shocked, and didnt really want to tell anyone because I thought they wouldn't believe me.


EDIT:THIS IS THE DEVIL POST: PLEASE DELETE IT

My brother caddied for OJ Simpson. Appears he plays golf with people for money. Anyway, after the game my brother wanted his tip. OJ offered him a signed autograph instead. My brother opted for the tip instead. OJ started to argue about it, and then my brother didn't want to get into an arguement with this fellow, so he took a signed golf ball instead. It's hard to read due to the dimples, but you can read OJ Simpson. My brother said he was a very good golfer, probably good enough to go pro.

I've heard stories about Madonna being an @ss. Which I'm not surprised. But I also heard somewhere that Tom Hanks isn't the nice guy he appears to be. Can anyone confirm this?

I met David Hasselhof and Kitt when I was a kid at an autoshow in Baltimore.

I heard George Bush (the old one) a few years back (must have been '92 during his relection campaign). His train made a stop in my town, and I live about a 1/4 mile from the small station and he was speaking. Could here his voice, but I didn't bother going up there b/c I could care less at the time

My Ex's younger sister is best friends with John Woo's daugher so I got to go to his house a couple of times and meet him. Really nice and down to earth. Also saw Lonnie Anderson at a mall in Encino, at Macy's....she looked really old.

Well, my best friend dated Elizabeth Berkley, the Tomb Raider Chick, and one or two other actresses...so I've met my share.

Oh, my friend also spent the day with Arnold Schwarzenegger (sp?) and Danny Devito when they were filming Twins.

My brother does studio sound recording, so he's met all kinds: Madonna, Robin Williams, Steve Martin, BSB and NSYNC, etc.

Celebrities are just overrated people IMO. I come across much better looking, more talented, and more intelligent people in my every day life.

UCLA is obviously the place to see celebs. I've seen John Lithgow, his wife is a prof, and he goes to just about every UCLA home bball game. I've seen David Hasselhoff walking in Westwood, I've seen Master P on campus playing basketball. I've seen Magic Johnson on campus. I saw Kobe, Rick Fox, Antoine Walker, and a few other basketball players over the summers playing pickup ball on campus.

I saw Neve Campbell when they were filming Party of 5. Shaq at a taping of Loveline. Also saw, Danica McKellar (winnie from the wonder years), Jaleel White (urkel), the commanders kid from Star Trek Deep Space 9. They all went here or still do.

I saw Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau eating at Madisons. A bunch of girls were on their jocks, it was pretty funny. I felt bad, it seemed like they just wanted to finish eating.

Talked to Cary Elwes on the phone for ISP tech support.

Hung out with Jennifer Rovero and Brooke Berry. Both Playmates of the Month last year. Damn hot even when Jennifer was in sweats and Brooke was just in jeans and a little t shirt. She didn't have a bra on either :Q

I've never made a big deal about seeing them. Never asked for an autograph or said anything. They are normal people too, just trying to have a normal life without people bugging them and stuff.


late.

I heard in the Asian countries (Korea, Taiwan, HK <-not a country I know =D )
that it's very easy to get access to a celebrity. I think they also have
a big problem with stalkers.

The only &quot;celeb&quot; I have ever met was Glenn Danzig. (can he be counted as one?)

He was doing a cd/record signing thing at a Tower Records in Mountain View, California. So, I went and hassled him about his cheesy fake name, had him sign a record he produced by a band called Kinghorse (pure crap) and asked him to sign the record Glenn Whitman (from a joke he made during a live performance). He looked at me coldly and sternly said &quot;NO&quot;. After that, he tried to pick up on the girl I was seeing at the time with a goofy story about how he almost cut off his thumb with a knife.

What a funny midget he was!

Oh! And a female friend of mine was in LA a while back when she ran into Jerry Seinfeld. He asked her out on a date (she is a cute little blonde!) and offered her his Porsche Carrerra to go on a date with him. She hates anything imported, so he really ruined it for himself right there. She has lots of pics with him and a witness who attests to the authenticity of her claim. Of course, this was before he was married.
