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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
