    I shared an elevator with the Undertaker from the WWE

    I saw Jeremy Roenick at a Casino in Vegas

    I was eating at a restaurant when Ben Roethlesburger stopped in for some takeout. One of the girls in my group got his autograph. This was way back in his rookie year, he was very nice to her.

    Met 30 Seconds to Mars twice! Once in March '08 and again in November '10.

    Worked on the film Safe House so I met Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington :))

    When I met Ryan, (I was probably drooling as I shook his hand) I introduced myself and he replied "Hi, I'm Ryan. Nice to meet you." Most celebs probably wouldn't introduce themselves cause they expect people to know who they are. Even though everyone obviously knew who he was cause he was the lead actor of the movie we were working on! Such a nice guy! :)

    When I worked in restaurants in Monterey, CA, I waited on Clint Eastwood's wife Dina Ruiz. She was extremely rude. I also waited on Doris Day, who was the sweetest little lady you could ever want to meet.

    At the House of Blues in Chicago, I danced belly to belly with James Belushi. He smelled of sweat, cigars, and beer, but he was funny.

    How wonderful!!

    I was once a guest on the Montel Williams show. He was not friendly. Pretty snippy, actually. Might have something to do with the fact that our show was the 4th one he'd taped that day, but still, he didn't even say hi to us.

    My brother-in-law and his girlfriend have run into Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman several times in the last few years. They're really super nice.

    My dad is Donnie "Scud" Huggins, but nobody knows him outside the ATV racing circuit.

    Jim Caviezel.

    Oh, and my cousin is (was) Rue McClanahan. I hung out with her while she was in the hospital in New York. She said Betty (as in, Betty WHITE) came by shortly after. We just missed her... :(

  • Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother and Harold and Kumar. He was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico (where I'm from) and his family still resides here. He was shopping at Urban Outfitters with his man at the time. He was nice, didn't say much, but wasn't rude when we asked for a picture.

    Jared Leto.


    That's all that matters. :heart:

    hm, I'd forgotten about him. Though 'meet' might be a strong word. I did pass one of his body parts over my head while he crowd surfed.
  • i grew up in the same town as Rachel Ray, and knew her "way back when..." and have seen her several times since she has become famous. Though *i* knew *her*, i was 3 years younger, so i was more friends w her little brother than her, though i admired her style and spunk, even back then! :)
