Clint Eastwood gave my wife the up-down as he held the door for her at The Hogs Breath Inn in Carmel California.  She didnt notice.

Thats as close as Ive gotten to meeting a celebrity other than Zooom...

[Grampa]

it's a true story.

I was a busboy at a local buffet when I was 17. He came in with a large group of people one afternoon and when he was done, the spot where he was sitting was coverd in rice pilaf. (except the big circle where his plate was)

In no particular order. I have actually exchanged words with the following:

russell crowe
kid rock
patrick dempsey
nick lachey
drew lachey
Rupert from Survivor (not sure if he is famous, but one hell of a cool guy)
John Mellencamp
Jason Priestly
Peyton Manning


All of them were nice.

Back on topic I also met Jason Priestly in 1998 at the Montreal F1 race. He was racing a Mustang in one of the other series. I made my way around BSing with some of the drivers/mechanics etc. and next thing I know I'm shooting the shit about cars with him.

Yes he was very personable. Just another one of the guys.

I met him maybe 2000-2001 when he was driving in the Indy Pro Series.

My roomie was racing in the series and I was staying in his motorcoach the Nashville weekend; Jason's motorhome was parked next door.

I talked to him several times, the guy is a huge smoker and talks like a sailor.

I thought he was very cool as well.

Met Jay Leno recently.  Nice guy.
Met Carl Perkins a few times
Used to date a "celebrity" plastic surgeon about 10 years before he got his reality show.  I had a good laugh when I saw him on TV.
Met Courtney Love - she was pretty strung-out and obnoxious.
Met whichever one is the brunette from Cagney and Lacey
Rufus Thomas was super-nice.
Got to party on the bus with the Hooters back when they opened for Loverboy in the 80's(my friend was a groupie)
Got to talk with Paul Smart, and now I have a crush on him.
Never talked to him, but used to see Elvis all the time when I was a kid.  We lived near Graceland and my parents would always point him out in grocery stores or restaurants.
Made small talk with John Grisham a couple of times in the grocery store checkout lane when I lived in Oxford, MS.
I think that's it.

The cast from The Young Riders used to hang out at The Tucson Racquet Club when I worked there in '90..Stephen Baldwin, Josh Brolin, etc.

Hans Gruber from DieHard (Alan Rickman) in Tucson. 

Joan Jett sat next to me on a flight around '82.  The Blackhearts sat behind me.  Joan talked to me and was very nice but I only remember her perfume and how strong it was!!   

Judge Reinhold at Old Tucson Studios.

Nicky Hayden at MotoGP-Mugello.  Talked to him for a few minutes.

I carried Ted Nugent's groceries out to his truck back around '88 when he was on his way up north for deer hunting season in MI.   

A few more too working in the hospitals that I can't mention.

I've met quite a few famous and infamous people and really they all were just normal. I don't go all ga-ga over celebrities though.

The only exception were Twiggy Ramirez and Madonna Wayne Gacy from Marilyn Manson when they were touring with NIN. Those guys were odd and had no interest in mingling with the general populous.
