Nope the bag wasn't even a Kate Spade. It was just some cheap little bag from The Gap. I would see him around campus and he was always hitting on some poor defenseless girl. I was soooo disappointed to see him representing LSU on RR. He just didn't have the common sense God gave a goose. And I won't even start in on what I thought of the staff at The Reveille after they let him start writing a column. He deserved that column as much as my big toe deserves a column.

Tigergirl:

LOL. I only saw Theo that one time - all of my classes are in CEBA so I'm totally isolated from the world

I didn't even know about Theo until last August when I realized that he was from LSU. I even saw the episode of RR were they came to get the pic of Mike and didn't piece it together that he went to school here.

BTW - GEAUX TIGERS! WE BEAT TULANE! ONE MORE WIN AND COLLEGE WORLD SERIES, HERE WE COME!

TigerGirl · #48 06-02-2001, 12:35 AM

Juniorgrrl I have to back you up and say GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!! I can't believe we went on to beat Tulane. Just gotta win one more time. I was getting seriously sick to my stomach thinking that we might lose!!!! I guess this kinda goes along with this thread...the relief pitcher for the Tigers (Brian Wilson) sat next to me this past fall in my Comd 2050 class. I helped him with an assignment once too. I feel soooo special. LOL. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!

I've had the pleasure of meeting Colin Powell. He was at my school to receive a honorary doctorate degree back in 98. His sister graduated from my college.

I graduated High School with Zach Thomas, who plays defense for the Miami Dolphins. Actually a great guy. I went to a really small HS, so it was a given that we hung out a few times in school.

Since I live in San Antonio, I bump into the celebs who call SA home. I have seen George Strait at the mall a few times. Madeline Stowe eats at this resturaunt by my house with her family about once a week. (She really is that beautiful in real life and never wears an ounce of makup. A former AOPi Chapter president who is a good friend of mine has an on again, off again relationship with Henry Thomas, aka Elliot from ET. he has a somewhat ok band he plays in around town, and I have partied with him and Becky a few times. I had a couple of beers one time with Tim Duncan. We were at this college bar across from campus, and he was there with his girlfriend, who goes to my school. Cute couple. He is actually really funny. I had given her a jump in the parking lot one time not knowing who she was, just being a nice guy, and when I saw her at the bar, she dragged tim over and they bought me a drink and invited me and my friend Beth to sit with them. It was pretty cool.

My brush with fame.

ok, most of these brushes with fame don't even involve me directly, but i thought i'd tell them anyway. One of my best HS buddies almost got burnt by John Mellencamp's cigarette. His wife went shopping with my other HS best friends mom one day. Both had their kids. Actually they just met at some store in the mall and started talking about their kids, and then hung out for a while.

Richard Chamberlain's (actor, was in the thornbirds and centennial to name a couple of movies) grandmother lived up the hill from me, but that was way before i was around. my great grandma lived here though.

One summer, John Belushi, before he was famous, did summer theatre in the small theatre in my town of 2500.

One of my bros dated Sting's niece. She lives/ed in bloomington, IN.

Back in the day, when the super bowl shuffle was hip, my dad was at the mall, and some lady asked for his autograph. she thought he was jim mcmahon (sp?) when she read his name on the paper, she asked why he wrote that, and he said, "you wanted my autograph right?" she wasn't too happy

I forgot to mention that Mr. Matt Damon was in line behind me at Luby's Cafeteria "to-go" window last Spring. He was in SA filming All the Pretty Horses and lived in an apt complex about 10 minutes from my house. I didnt even realize who it was, I mean who goes to Luby's expecting to see Matt Damon? I dropped my wallet and he picked it up. Wasnt that nice? I shoulda offered to take him out drinking or something, bet he didnt know anybody here. Plus how PHAT would it be to chill wit him? I mean to be all, "yah, last weekend sucked. Matt and I couldnt find anyplace that was happening." To which my friends would respond, "Matt who?" and I'd be like "Matt Damon thank you very much." And then they wouldnt believe me till I took out the picts and then I'd look like a stalker. maybe its a good thing I just played it cool.

I was looking through my HS graduation pictures the other day...and I forgot to mention that our commencement keynote speaker was the Queen of SCHA-WINGGGG...Tia Carrere. Tia (born Althea Rae Janairo) graduated from my high school (an all-girls' Catholic school) wayyyyy back when in 1984

and was invited to speak.

She made the ceremony enjoyable, and I could tell the male teachers enjoyed looking at her. Afterwards we all got the chance to take pictures with her. I still have my graduation cap with her autograph!

The movie "The Insider" is about Jeff Wigand, well he was my Chemistry teacher in high school. Other than that, I have met some country music stars and some local celebrities in Louisville, KY. There aren't many famous people in these parts. I have met the entire cast of Miss Saigon and Les Miserable though.

About twelve years ago, I saw Meryl Streep. In fact, I saw her act in a scene for a movie. I think it was "Postcards from the Edge". After the movie came out I went to see it. It was dissapointing because that scene had been cut.

During the same trip to Los Angeles I saw Rob Reiner. "Meathead" from "All in the Family". This really dates myself. Anyway, I've also seen and met a Miss America. I had lunch with her and my picture taken with her. I cant remember what year it was (early- mid '90's), but it was Heather Whitestone. More recently,a couple of weeks ago, I saw Tiger Woods. Would you believe on a golf course?! This was just after his win at The Masters. These have been my brush with fame!

I work with somebody famous - and the Canadians on this board will know who I'm talking about. I work with and know quite well Justin Trudeau, son of the late Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Since his father's passing he has become quite the Canadian Celebrity and even before PET passed on, Justin was considered one of Canada's top ten most eligible bachelors

How can I forget, they were shooting The Basketball Dairies way back when Mark Wahlberg was still Marky Mark. Well, I was one of the extras (during one of the basketball scene, I'm in the crowd all the way in the back next to a fat kid) During lunch break, Leonardo DiCaprio and Marky mark hung out and this one girl gave Marky Mark her thong.
