Kind of a long story but my little sister passed away when she was 8 years old due to complications with juvenile diabetes. ( I was about 13) My parents decided to donate 7 of her major organs. She saved 7 people's lives that day. There is a rule that if you or a family member donate an organ you cannot contact the recipient unless they make that contact first, so all we knew was the recipient's age and sex and what organ they received and if they lived. About 2 years after my sister passed we got a call from the show. A little girl named Melissa had received my sisters heart and wanted to meet me, my mom and my brother. She was 7, a year younger than my sister, when she received the heart and had been given only days to live. The show had contacted us unbeknown st to her. ( The producers of the show found her website chronicling everything that had happened to her. ) We came as a surprise. Her and her mother were there under the pretense that they were talking about organ donation awareness. We surprised them on stage and it was awesome. After the show we spent most of the day with their family talking. Melissa is now 18 years old. She graduated High school last year. She is now attending nursing school in Philadelphia where she is from. After she received her new heart she went on to do a special Olympics for organ recipients and also cheer leading. I have her on myspace and facebook and we keep in touch everyday. We have only seen one another in person that one time on the show but I hope to maybe visit her again soon. You see we live in Alabama!! On a side note Brian Mcknight was there to surprise another girl. The show theme was "Dreams come true" or something to that effect. We have never met any of the other recipients of my sisters organs. As far as we know they are all still alive except for a man who passed away recently who had received a kidney. Hopefully this story does not make people feel sad but is an inspiration to all who read it. You all have inspired me in different ways. I hope I can do the same. Thanks for listening!!Long story, but I was on The Queen Latifah Show when she had her talk show so ...I met her. After we filmed our segment we talked to her a little while on stage and she told me I reminded her of someone but she couldn't remember who!! lol On that same show she had Brian McKnight on and I met him backstage while we were both waiting to get our makeup done. He was super nice!! (didn't hit on me though!! lol I was 16 at the time!!) I met Mary Tyler Moore at a Juvenile Diabetes Convention in Washington DC, she was super nice also! The current Miss USA was there too and I met her but I don't even remember her name! It was about 6 years ago! I am trying to think of anyone else. Does one of the Blue Man Group guys count?? :huh: Anyway one of them walked up to me but they dont talk!! lol
Why were you on her show?
*Hugs* Thanks for sharing.

Now this is the kind of person I would like to meet. Someone who actually makes a difference in people's lives. I could care less about some shallow actor. Give me a real-life hero any day.
I'm sure not all actors are shallow. Ted Nugent (my celebrity rub) is very down to earth. Knows common sense when he sees it, and ummmm.... Gosh, I was a kid, I don't know.... lol
List your real life hero that you've bumped into. Many real life heros become celebrities themselves...0 -

Such an amazing story. Thanks for sharing. My son was born needing a small bowel and liver transplant so I love hearing stories like this....actually brought a tear to me eye!0 -
I went to a party at a directors house and spent most of the party chit chatting with this extremely good looking guy. He invited me out for coffee "some time". I had to decline (my then boyfriend might have objected :laugh: ). Anyhow, come to find out he is an egyptian actor and has been on Lost, CSI, 24 and a few other shows.
(After the breakup, I regret not taking him up on the coffee date :laugh: )0 -
hi ive shaken hands with Queen of England and sat beside Julia Roberts on a flight from Mexico0

Anyone remember that show Battlestar Galactica? My three tall sisters were extras on that show, they played the 'Angels' if you remember the two episode with the devil type guy and the angels that rescued and revived one of the main characters who was dead.
I was an extra in the Blues Brothers Movie when I was 17. After we wrapped, the bass player hit on me and asked me to come back to their hotel. I was too scared (virgin and 17 doncha know) and said no. My friends were :mad:
In this day and age, the only celebrity I know in Denver is my cousin who was on the Broncos, Mark Cooper #63, offensive lineman. He went to the two superbowls they lost almost 20 years ago. Then he was traded to the Tampa Bay Bucaneers and retired from football in 1992.0 -

Maybe they can go on a man-date... I'm loving man-dates right now.... It's soooo funny to say0 -
My husband and I and his family met Paul McCartney in Disneyland. His then wife and their daughter were by themselves a little ways back so didn't meet them but oh my god it was amazing!
It's just an odd feeling like hey I know that guy and then you look again and it really doesn't click-I mean this guy is a flippin legend!
On that same trip we were in Orange County at the Block at Orange having supper at I think it Emeril's(?) and about 10*12 Calgary Flames hockey players walked in and sat down for supper. And we thought awe WTF we come all this way and we run into the crappy flames?! (We hadn't met Paul yet.) We're from about 2.5 hours outside of Calgary so it was a little silly, But we still chatted them up and got pictures and stuff.
Then again last year coming home from Vegas Robyn Regehr, Wayne Primeau and some a couple of others flames were on our flippin flight.
Would be great we liked the Flames! I guess it was still pretty cool- and Wayne Primeau was VERY hot.0 -
A few years ago, the NHL All-Stars game was in Dallas, at the same time I was in town for computer training. My classes were being held in one of the event-sponsor hotels, so I saw a lot of hockey players in the lobby and restaurant. Only problem was, I had never seen an NHL game in my life and had no clue who any of them were!
Someone mentioned Erik Estrada -- I got his autograph once for my sister & brought her the pen he used. She was pretty happy.0 -

I've never had a celebrity sighting/encounter unless a concert counts, but I was no where near the stage.0

I was at a Todd Rundgren concert...after the show we walked down the alley behind the Aragon ballroom in Chicago and it was snowing
Todd Rundgren's limo was stuck in the snow and we helped him and his driver push it out of the snow
I met the Rev JesseJjackson twice...shook his hand,,,he has amazing charisma,,,like a magnet,,,a very nice guy0 -
I used to be the reservations manager for Carey Limo here in Austin. I have met Bea Arthur, William Shatner, Shawn Colvin, Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Metallica, and B.B. King. I met Stevie Ray Vaughn before he was famous.
Sandra Bullock was my favorite. She was the most down to earth and friendliest of them all. Rules of etiquette in the limo business require you to only speak when spoken too and not personally engage the clients. Ms Bullock like an old high school friend striking up a conversation. Very sweet and down to earth lady.0 -

LOL I think that all started when he and Lance Armstrong were seen hanging out a lot after Armstrong's divorce. It was more of a frat boy thing. At least when I saw him in 2003, the woman he was with.....MAN OH MAN!!! He didn't look gay then.0
