With Keifer Sutherland, I don't knoe him at all. I've never met him. I can trace my family line back to him (because of his mother). And it's not a 6 degrees of seperation thing either.

I'm related to Allen Iverson through marriage. I was supposed to go to a wedding of someone else in my family in Cali who was marrying a player for the Raiders, I think and he was there...I didn't go though :rolleyes:

Amerie (R&B singer) and I are college friends and are still cool.

Jerry Porter (Raiders) and I are high school buds, but I haven't spoken to him since my Freshman or Sophomore year in college.

I'm related to Bob Dole.

I'd say about 5 or 6 that I could actually call up and wouldn't be embarassed that they knew I was telling people I was their "friend".

Amycat you and I are on the same page here, I think...

God i love you so much.

Can i just say that?

don't forget about knowing my boy Eli Manning.

show off ;)

my best friend's dad- aka my second dad- used to play for the vikings and the browns- jeff steinberger. He is such an amazing person and practically raised me- i adore him so much- i just think its hysterical that he used to be famous lol. Her mom was also a ballerina in a dance company based out of florida- but that was in the 70's- she passed away this time last may.... :(

idk if these people are famous- but my neighbor- doug smith has had like 2 books on the new york times best seller list- for "the wisdom of teams" and "value and values"- he's a really nice guy and his wife went to school with hillary clinton (smith i think?) and she's a successful lawyer...

my dad's best friend used to be really close with ben, ann, and jerry stiller- he still talks to them a lot- and he is best friends with wes craven's daughter, jessica.

so its kind of a six degrees thing lol

my dad is really good friends with the guy who wrote most of the grease soundtrack ( jim jacobs ) and the guy who sang always something their to remind me ( peter byrne ) i dunno about my spelling though

Let's see. My daughter was friends with Nick Stahl (spelling?) in junior high and he was at our house a few times. He has been in movies and is currently in that HBO series Carnivale.

Jessica Simpson went to HS with my daughter. She is a very decent person (or was), and by the way, everything on her body is real, and she really can sing, and she is truly gorgeous.
She was a huge flirt though!

One of the finalists on a Bachelor (Rob from Dallas) was Paige Jones and she also went to the same HS in Dallas as my daughter. She lost out to Erin Brodie at the end.

We knew Jill Arrington's (sideline reporter for CBS sports college football) parents when she was just a baby. Back then she was known as Tiffany, though.

Not friends with but my old middle/high school has seen some people become big names after leaving. The Knight brothers from NKOTB went to my middle school, there was a 6th grade teacher who gave one of them a detention for chewing gum in class and he held onto the detention slip after all these years. A bunch of NHL players as well, including most recently Brooks Orpik from the Penguins.

My best friend growing up got to hang out with Boyd from Dave Matthews after a political thing in DC

I met Pippi Longstocking when I was little

The best man in my daughter's wedding (this past Saturday 22 May :) was Jordan Spence the drummer for Index Case http://www.indexcase.com/. They have a contract with Elektra records and a couple videos on MTV2. They are pretty good in a heavier metal genre. (Remember Slipknot is from Des Moines :eek:

My cousin's son (Jacob Reitz) is working hard to break into Hollywood and TV. He has had some small parts on a number of sitcoms, nothing overly remarkable yet...but he is just really starting.
