    This thread is so fun! I think I have a new one. Was at a dinner event with Garth Brooks. He is warm and stunning looking in person, and I'm not even a country music fan.

    Met:

    Orlando Bloom - just after he did The Calcium Kid - he was incredibly sweet.
    Bill Clinton - outside the Ritz - rather friendly.
    Eminem - at a party - absolute self absorbed git
    50 Cent - at a party - very pleasant and wasn't even drinking alcohol
    Rik Mayall (twice) - after a couple of live shows AWESOMENESS personified.
    Prince Edward - perfectly pleasant at a charity gala.
    Jeremy Beadle - really kind when I knocked over a tray of full champagne glasses at a gala.
    Mario Testino - as above. The same event, I think.


    Seen:

    Kevin Spacey
    Oprah
    Richard E Grant
    Marc Almond
    Dita Von Teese


    London is pretty wonderful for star spotting!

    Not many.

    Captain Kangaroo - early 70s. The oldster MFP'ers may remember him. He was doing a appearance at the TV station where my dad worked. He wasn't a very nice man.
    Arnold Schwarzenegger, while he was the CA governor. He made a number of appearances in the building where I work.
    Dr. Oz - He made one appearance in the building where I work. I wasn't impressed.

    Met Greg Dulli from the Afghan Whigs and Mark Lanegan from the Screaming Trees. Chatted with them and the rest of the band after a show.

    Met Dave Attell after a comedy show.

    Saw Bam Margera and the rest of the Viva La Bam crew at a music festival in Baltimore. Also saw Bam and his girlfriend at a CKY/HIM show walking around in the audience.

    That's all I can think of at the moment.

    ETA: Oh yeah, and I hung out with the band Orgy at the club Fallout, in Richmond after a show.

    Mine are pretty lame. & both from when I worked at Wendy's in HS.

    John Stockton & his son came in one night & I had no idea who they were. He & his family are from Spokane [my hometown] though, so that's not that exciting.

    I didn't actually see him, but Kenny Chesney's tour bus came through our drive thru one night & his driver ordered chili for him. We had no idea until we handed the bag out the window & the driver said something like "Kenny Chesney loves his chili" & smiled before driving off. That one was really weird because the Wendy's I worked at was pretty far from the arena & there are probably 5 Wendy's between there & the one they ended up at.

    Dinner next to John Kerry and Teresa Heinz, Pamela Anderson at a bar comes to mind. I travel Go to Los Angeles often, so "famous" people are everywhere, so I can't remember every instant. I also live in an area with many pro basketball players and at least two NFL'ers as neighbors. *flicks collar*
    Guess it just depends on where you live and/or hang out as to the amount of famous sightings

    Years ago when I was a tour guide in a cave, Tony Dow (Wally Cleaver from Leave It To Beaver) came in - I hooked him up on the ropes and taught him how to rappel into the cavern. :smile:

    From my childhood growing up in an area where a lot of things were filmed -
    Lloyd Bridges (Bridges family had a home up there, we saw them often, especially when I worked at the ski area! Super nice, all of them)
    Beau Bridges
    Jeff Bridges
    Robert Conrad (pretty much a pompous windbag every time I encountered him)
    River Phoenix
    Richard Dean Anderson
    Michael Landon
    Victor French

    Semi-famous locals where I live now that I've spotted in local grocery stores -
    Rodney Grant
    Alan Autry
