    This is the third unrelated time I have heard that Screech was a total pr!ck.

    My cousin also met him and he was crazy rude and condescending to her.

    I feel I need to explain the Ice-T meeting. I was in a mall in Schaumburg, IL when I was 5 months pregnant. I was looking for somewhere to sit because my ankles were severely swollen. I was desperately looking for a bench and bumped into a guy. I said I am so sorry. He replied no probably baby. I look right at him and give him a funny look. It took me about 3 seconds to realize it was Ice-T.

    Also, massively disappointed to hear Fred Savage was an a**! :(

    Not surprised Screech from SBTB was a jerk...

    Lauren Holly (Actress)
    Juan Pablo Montoya (NASCAR Driver)
    Rusty Wallace (NASCAR Driver)
    and several other celebrities (lots of sports people that I didn't pay much attention to) that I can't remember all their names. I worked at an Amusement park in the PR department so I got to meet a lot of people.

    I met Reba McEntire several times at her concerts when I had back stage passes.

    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.

    Harold and Kumar!?! Ahh!!! I'm so jealous! lol

    And I've met a lot of people from different famous rock bands, but no movie stars yet! :)

    I must be an old timer here! I worked in a hotel in the mid 70's and met lots of interesting folks: Gene Roddenberry, John Denver, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Todd Rundgren and other bands, but those are the ones that stand out. I spoke sternly to Joe Walsh when he stayed at the hotel I was working in. He had made a mess of some pie on a night stand and I just told him I hoped he was going to clean that up because there was no way I was going to do it. When I came back later, it was gone and wiped up! It was not a fancy hotel--sort of the Holiday Inn kind of place. I also met Dandy Don Meredith, Howard Cosell and a bunch of NFL guys---the teams used to stay there the night before a game.
    In our travels with the military, we met Bill Clinton and Hulk Hogan. (in SLC airport) Our son met Meatloaf at a job he had at a party center. We also saw Tom Cruise at Yellowstone with his kids. They were all really nice. I met some others that were NOT nice, but I just chalk them up as idiots and don't remember them!

    I second that... I wanna hear the JLC story!!!!

    I guess it is more of a couple stories about her...
    I used to work at the airport---Customer Service. She came up to the counter where there was 2 of us checking in people and giving out boarding passes. She decided she didn't want to wait behind everyone else checking in and she BUTTED in front of about 7-8 people. My coworker and I told her she needed to get in the back of the line and wait her turn. She then proceeded to ask us "Do you know who I am?" To which I said "Yeah, you are the last person in line." She went off and reported me to my supervisor for my smarta$$ comment---and my supervisor said "what do you want me to do about it---she's following protocol:laugh: ." When we boarded the plane she wouldn't even look at me or apologize for her inconsiderate behavior. Later, I was telling my co-workers about this incident and my co-worker said "that's not the first time she's butted in line"...apparently she's known at our airport for butting in lines and being rude....

    Also, once when she landed and her plane pulled into our gate she was really mad and came to the customer service counter. Apparently she used the toilet on the plane and her I.D fell out of her back pocket and into the toilet. She was mad because nobody would "fish it out" for her. She kept saying the airline people were going to get it and sell it and make money off it---or if not that, then they were going to "stalk" her home address. She said our airline had horrible customer service for not sifting through the airplanes toilet waste:huh: .

    Isaac Hanson... because I sat outside of their tour bus for 2 hours to catch them walking into the venue. This was in 2010. Best day of my life! He was super nice, and always my favorite Hanson :)

    Isaac is the nicest Hanson, for sure!! The first time I met them I was just 15 and had a video camera..I said SAY HI TO THE CAMERA..and Taylor said "hi to the camera" my heart was broken...then Isaac came and talked to me forever and made my day much better :)

    I <3 Hanson so....:)

    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.

    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.
