How many celebrities have you met?

[Betty Rage]

Last night I went and saw The Honey Brothers at a local venue. I had heard them on myspace and thought they were good, but what I didn't know was that the drummer is Adrian Grenier from Entourage. He seemed really chill but I didn't want to approach him because I didn't want to be THAT annoying fan you know? I figured he was there to play music and have a good time, not deal with fans.

Anyway, who have you met in person and how did you react?

I met Charlie Hunter at Jazz Alley here in Seattle after watching one of his shows. He and his drummer were sitting at the bar having a beer, so I asked if they'd sign the CD I just bought. They were both really nice and talked to me and my buddy for a few minutes.

just randomely on the street, Ice-T @ Melrose, Sylvester Stalone @ Pinks hot dogs, Ellen Degenerous @ Chevron, John Ritter @ Jerrys famous deli, Carmen Electra @ Palace night club, those are the ones i actually talked to, countless number i didnt approach cause they were with family, or unapproachable.
Thats one of the things i miss about living close to Hollywood seeing all the people in real life you are used to seeing on TV.

Bruce Campbell rode in the front of an ambulance with me.  He was a royal pain.  Some Hollywood friends of his were in a car wreck and we transported to RVMC.

I met Robin Williams in Oakland years ago.  We chatted for a bit .  He was cool.

Most memorable - shared a 1st class aisle with the director John Waters between Denver and Baltimore.  He wasn't very talkative, but I didn't push as I didn't want to be "that guy."  Funny part was I ran into him at a bar in Baltimore at a Jonathan Richman show like the next week.  Still not very talkative, but he did recognize me.

Rode an elevator with Ossie Davis once.

I've met many musicians only because I have some serious starmake the beast with two backser friends in my life.

Jay Leno twice.  Funny thing is, he remembered my Cafe-Racer when I saw him the 2nd time...  Pretty cool.

Queen Latifah once.  She was trying to get me to install a part on her H2 for free. 

Geena Davis at a restaurant once.  She gave me the warmest smile like she knew me and we never talked.  Funny...

Couple more.  Can't remember right now.

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.

My wife worked in the film industry from about 5 years.  She has worked with a lot of celebs and for the most part they have been cool. She claims that the coolest were Tom Hanks And Wes Studi. John Goodman and Nicole Kidman where the worst.

the guys from drivin` and cryin` were looking for some, stuff, before the show...

I find out today if I won a chance to meet and greet with Metallica before their show in Cinnci next Tuesday.  I really hope I do.

I never go up to any celebrities, but I have met mostly athletes. I was hanging out with my first born in LA Fitness when Scottie Pippen started talking to me about his kid. When I was working in the Domican Republic I was upgraded and got a chance to sit behind Pedro Martinez and his wife, sitting next to his brother Ramon. His brother was pretty cool. They got swamped as soon as we landed.

He seemed really chill but I didn't want to approach him because I didn't want to be THAT annoying fan you know?

That is sort of the situation I was in when I met Peyton Manning last year at an Indy 500 after party.

People would just walk up to him and pretty much suck his dick how good he was, etc. etc.

We sort of crossed paths and I told him my wife doesn't like him and prefers Tom Brady. He started laughing, wife kicks me in the shin, and Peyton and I end up talking for 30 minutes about random shit. He even bought me a beer.

[Turf]

just this weekend i've hung out with ben bosrom, larry pegram, tommy and earl hayden and kevin schwantz....schwants nearly killed a friend of mine as well.

[pennyrobber]

We saw Matt Leinart at the mall yesterday. My girlfriend wanted to go talk to him but he looked pretty douchey. No body else seemed to recognize him from what I saw.

[Monster Dave]

Suprisingly no one has met Chuck Norris!!

This past New Years Eve we met Lewis black after his Phx performance!
