in Chit-Chat
George Clooney - walked by him leaving an italian restaurant one sunday evening in DC. It was so random. He's shorter than I expected but still cute.

Ralph Fiennes - saw him coming out of a Broadway show NYC he was in. Talk about a short and scrawny.

Jeremy Irons - walking though a store in Chelsea. He has regal aura about him.

Annu Sui - NYC

Ian Somerholder - spoke at a DC hearing on the BP oil spill.

Hayden Pannatierre - spoke at a DC hearing on saving the dolphins.

(Dave Grohl went to my rival high school. His mom's house was a mile away.)

    Billy Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlain. But, I was at an autograph signing for Smashing Pumpkins, so it wasn't as if I didn't expect to see them :)

    Chuck Gaitica- Really only "famous" in Detroit area. He is the local weather man

    Chris Chelios- Hockey player

    My husband and I went to Cleveland, and when we were at the bar, Stephan Dorff was sitting next to us.

    At a restaurant I worked at in Ann Arbor, Clive Owen came in to eat.

    Archbishop Desmond Tutu at the Van Gogh lounge in Schiphol Airport. I got to shake his hand and introduce myself. I was only 8yrs old.

    Salman Rushdie at his reading and book signing for "Shalimar the Clown". The venue was in Shaunessy BC. Rushdie is one of my favourite authors. He and I shook hands! The man has a brilliant mind and is a tremendous orator.

    Stephen Colbert and Michael Buble at the Winter Olympics a few years ago. Colbert nation came out with fiery irreverence. Fun times!

    50 cent and the G unit crew in the shopping district in my city..

    Many musicians in concert ofc but these were the significant ones

    I'm married to a Canucklehead, so I will never forgive that country. Oh, and because of Celine Dion. :laugh:
