    I'm embarrassed to admit that I lived close to this train wreck....Jon & Kate Plus 8!!! THey lived in my town (in that brick cape cod house that was on the show) before they moved to the huge house they have now. I've seen both of them around town a few times and saw 3 of their kids once.

    Not too many famous people care to live in central Pennsylvania, LOL!

    Living in south Austin, TX, there are a ton of celebrities. I have only met one, at work, Robert Rodriguez, film maker and buddy of Quentin Tarrantino( who, I am told also lives here), and Sandra Bullock of course. Matthew McConaughey has a ranch here, and attends many UT games. I have been told there are a tons more, but I am not sure who or where they are.

    Fun thread! In a neighborhood down the street lives rapper Lil John (not a fan but my kids always talk about seeing him) as well as baseball pitcher John Smoltz. I also was at an art opening once downtown and realized I was standing next to Elton John and his partner. He has a penthouse in Atlanta. I went to high school with Julia Roberts.

    Johnny Depp has a house in Lymington, not far from me! I've never seen him though! :-( Lol


    Johnny Depp was filming latest 'Pirates......' film in Knole Park when we were jogging there recently....didn't see him tho' :sad:

    Peter Sissons & Gloria Hunniford (saw her in Tesco once) both live in Sevenoaks, and Cheryl Baker (Bucks Fizz) lives about 5 miles away & is regularly in the local paper.


    There's a rumor that he may be filming here in Michigan soon. I fully plan to go into stalker mode when he does. :smooched:

    When I lived in San Francisco I used to ride my bike by Robin Williams' house. Would occasionally see him out in his yard.
  • I live in So Cal. Everyone famous lives here it seems LOL

    When was a ababy my mom ran into Henry Winkler (The Fonz) at the post office. She asked him for an autograph and all she had to write upon was a picture of me. So he wrote on the back of the picture: Dear Jamie, I hope you have a nice life. Love, Henry Winkler. This cracks me up!

    That is soooooooo adorable of him!!! What a great story :)

    Live in NYC so see famous people every once in a while: Brittany Spears, Jennifer Garner. My hubby used to drive for a limo company and he drove Harry Belafonte and Tyra Banks. HB was very nice - Tyra did not speak to him & no tip.

    I grew up and went to school(Nazareth, PA) with Michael Andretti, had Geometry class with him, we had mutual friends and I got to go to his house a couple times. I bagged Mrs. Andretti's groceries and helped her to load the car monthly. Mario came in to the local pubs with the fam after coming home from races. Very down to earth people.

    I once had papers to serve to Larry Holmes when he was the Heavyweight Champ ..... it was regarding playing music in one of his clubs and not paying royalties. I never could serve them b/c it had to be done in person and you don't get to be face to face with a person like that.

    Now I live in FL and George Steinbrenner's horse farm is across town. Rest In Peace, George.
  • I live a several blocks from Rocky Blier, the former Pittsburgh Steelers running back. Years ago, I lived around the corner from Franco Harris, another former Steeler's running back.

    Jim Davis, the Garfield cartoonist, lived about 2 miles from me and I saw him quite often. He even hired me one time to play music for his staff Christmas party. Super, super nice guy.

    Although John Mellencamp doesn't LIVE in Indy, he's here very often and I've run into him a couple of times. First time I met him I was SHOCKED....he's really short!
