    I played blackjack with Willie Nelson at a casino in Indiana. Super nice guy, but he smelled like piss. Seemed like a shower was not Always On His Mind.

    I met Tonya Harding in the lobby of a hotel when she was doing celebrity boxing. I watched her pull a six pack of Bud Light out of her purse and kill it in about twenty minutes. Now that's what I call a lady.

    Jerry Seinfeld at a comedy club before he became famous.

    I sat next to Gene Shalit in a New York deli and didn't know it until he left and the waiter told me who that was. (He was taller and thinner than I realized.)

    Family members ...

    My sister literally bumped into Jack Klugman with a shopping cart when we were little girls.

    My father held the door open for Paul Newman at a hardware store when he was carrying out a garbage can. Paul thanked him.

    Another time someone once asked my father if he was Paul Newman because he looked like him from a distance. Up close, you'd realize that my father has brown eyes and not the blue eyes that Paul was famous for having. They lived in the same town. (My father still lives there.)

    But I digress.

    Bruce Springsteen <3 My ultimate everything

    Only briefly but long enough to have a few words with him and give him a little gift. It was very touching for me to talk with him-he was just awesome. He is going to be coming out with a new album and tour!!!! His music keeps me young at heart......

    That ROCKS! Lucky you :-)

    Bruce Springsteen stayed in the community I worked for. I met him when he came to the gym and subsequently never came back after all the 40-something year-old women at the time hounded him. :smile:

    I worked the transportation area of Sunfest (week-long outdoor concert street party thing) and drove MGMT. Cutest little vegetarians you ever did see. I wanted to try to convince one of them that I was his birth mother. Didn't work out. Polite young men, though.

    I also drove Sublime for my entire shift. They invited me to drink and smoke with them. I don't smoke, and I'd worked like a 10 hour shift so I declined. Rest assured, their body guard still loves me. Can't blame him, though. I'm pretty memorable *hair flip* :tongue: That was a lot of fun.

    I shook Ice -T's hand at a Metallica/ GNR concert. His band Body Count opened up for them. He was sitting on the edge of the stage.

    I didn't actually meet him but in 2007 I was sitting next to Chris Brown (before Rhianna) in Richmond, VA airport and I had no clue who he was even after all the 16 year olds on my flight told me who he was I still had no clue ( they all wanted to know if I touched him). I remember sitting there really ticked off at this kid next to me because he was eating a bag of chips and was brushing his crumbs all over me and for some reason he would not speak to anyone even the people he was with. There was a woman with him I thought may have been his mother and I almost asked her to switch seats with me. Looking back on it I should of know because of all the girls crying (and one asked for his autograph) and the big guy who sat across from us. Oh well I probably still wouldn't know who he was if it happened again, but to my defense I had just flown down to Richmond the 4th time that summer because my father was in the hospital so I hadn't slept much.

    He and his mother actually live right up the road from me, and goes to the AFF in Short Pump. My daughter used to work there and he was in there all the time playing basketball.
