None for me. What about you? What was your experience? How did you come across them? Were they mean or nice? Did they look different in person? Bigger? Smaller?

    Arnie.

    We were on holidays, and riding push bikes around Santa Monica one day. pulled over at some traffic lights because we were lost.... Arnie + security pulled up beside us on bikes, black suv following. We didn't care where we were going, but we followed (never pedalled so fast in my life!) until he turned left across three lanes of traffic. We went to check our Venice beach, then to golds where we bumped in to him as he was walking out. Wasn't as big as I imagined, didn't say a lot, but let me have a pic with him.

    I met Bam Margera and he's an a-hole.

    I met Dan Andriano and he thinks I'm an a-hole.

    I said celebrities, not people no one's ever heard of

    Says the guy who's never even seen Forrest Gump

    I may not have seen Forrest Gump but I do know what celebrity is .

    I've met a ton...

    Tiger woods is a kitten bag--
    So is Kenny Chesney... they are SUPER rude, entitled & loud about it.

    Faith hill is the least friendly human on the planet.

    Bill Murray, Clint, marky mark & Justin Timberlake are my favorites- very down to earth and all around good guys.

    Where I live it's common to see celebs all over the place- so I'm not fazed by them- Ive never met any as a "fan" mostly as a patron of the same restaurant, grocery store etc... it probably makes a difference when you don't ask for photos/autographs.

    Maybe you could introduce me to a few next month

    I've never seen it, is he a fox or raccoon?

    He was Forrest Gump's friend. His only friend.

    Waited on Leonard Nimoy in Tahoe. Made a big impression. Charisma. Depth. Kindness. Humor. AND HE WAS *kitten* SPOCK FOR *kitten*'S SAKE!!!

    Red Hot Chili Peppers ate at the sushi bar at the restaurant where I worked in Maui. For some reason that wasn't all that exciting... Then, a few weeks later, VICTOR NEWMAN FROM THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS CAME IN AND I WAS GIDDY WITH EXCITEMENT.

    I hadn't watched the soap in years. I don't know what came over me. Guy's magnetic.

    I think there are others. My life is super glamorous.

    Had breakfast next to (and talked with, briefly) Josh Hamilton (baseball player). We're pretty much the same size, but he seemed at least twice as big as me. That's what being paid to be in shape is like, I suppose.

    Saw George Takei outside of the theatre on Broadway. He was busy and we were running late for the show, would have tried for an autograph otherwise.

    I guess it depends on your definition of celebrity but...

    Mark Stepnosky (Dallas Cowboy) - at a restaurant
    Michael Irvin (Dallas Cowboy) - stopped at my job site asking for directions
    Ken Curtis (Festus from Gunsmoke) - at a stock show
    Ann Richards (governor of Texas) - at a gas station
    Jim Wright (Speaker of the House) - Sat next to him at the circus
    Michael Martin Murphey (singer) - cattle show
    Brad Hawpe (Colorado Rockies) - went to school together and I actually coached his younger brother who was also an outstanding ball player
    Craig Ludwig (Dallas Stars, player/broadcaster) - played softball with him
    Toby Harrah (Texas Rangers, player/manager) - went to his camp as a kid and his son went to school and played ball with my brother

    I actually used to be a big fan of Mark Stepnosky until I saw first hand what an *kitten* he is. Irvin has issues but he is actually really cool in person.
