Have you ever met anyone famous???

[phimu269]

I've met Sandra Bullock, I just happened to be at my moms work that evening and her brother was in the hospital, she was very nice!
I've never met this actress, but my dad's good friend in High School dated Juila Roberts, so my dad has meet her, he said shes very pretty in person and down to earth!

At the newspaper I used to work for (to preface, I'm from Bristol, CT, home of ESPN), I interviewed Derek Jeter, Chris Berman, Dan Patrick, Rob Dibble, Stuart Scott, Rich Eisen, Charley Steiner, Bob Ley, and I've met Lou Pinella, Dicky Barrett (from the Bosstones), Raul Mondesi, Howard Cross (New York Giants Tight End), and Jake Voskuhl (Chicago Bulls center). The guys I didn't interview, I met briefly and was able to talk to.

Let's see...where do I begin? I met Sylvester Stallone at the LA airport. This was 10 years ago when he was filming 'Stop or My Mom Will Shoot!'. I was 10 at the time and thought it was the coolest thing ever. A few years later, I met Wilt Chamberlain at a restaurant he owns in South Florida. I also met Pete Rose at the restaurant he owns in Boca Raton. I was friends with two of the guys from 'A New Found Glory' back in high school (I don't know how big they are in other states but I know that in Florida, almost everyone has heard of them). I never actually introduced myself to her but I use to see Niki Taylor at the gym I went to back at home. Then, I met JC Chasez and Joey Fatone from N'Sync. The guys from N'Sync hang out at the Roxy's in Orlando a lot. I saw Britney Spears at the Florida Mall in Orlando one time. Never introduced myself to her, just let her shop. My friend works at the Abercrombie there and it is supposedly a haven for all the "boy-bands" and other bubblegum music icons. She saw Britney and Justin Timberlake in there one day, a couple of Backstreet Boys, and Christina Aguilera have all come in there to shop. It is pretty easy to run into these people when you live in Orlando since this is where all these bands have originated.

Oh, and I'm definitely a New Found Glory fan. They're not too too big up north yet, but they played one of the most amazing shows I've seen, with Less than Jake.

Iowa, do you remember that episode of 90210 where Kelly, Donna, Brenda, and David try to sneak into the hotel? Donna caught her mom having an affair but Kelly actually "ran into them". Your post reminded me of that episode!

I actually met LeeLee Sobieski at our chapter house. We were having a big open house, and she was looking at the school. I didn't realize who she was until she introduced herself to the members of the house...I just thought the girl in the corner looked really really familiar.

with Less than Jake.[/B]

KSigkid
Less Than Jake are actually friends of one of my friends from Gainesville- not that that means much to you. She's quite old - 26 maybe (which isn't old, but old to be friends with me, a mere 20 yr old). Before "Losers, Kings..." came out, before that had much stature at all, she asked them to play for her 21st - they said if you get a keg, she did, and they played - isn't that cool?

[Muffy Sorority Girl]

I met Ted Nugent. He was cool.

[xok85xo]

I went to high school with Tara Reid..she was a senior when I was a freshman..but the school i went to was TINY, like MAYBE 100-150 students in the whole school..

haha - yeah Nick Collison, he's from Iowa originally - played AAU ball for the Iowa Under-17 teams w/ some guys that I sorta knew, and a bunch of guys that ended up at U of I (IowaHawkeye will know them - DeanO, Glenn Worley, well pretty much all the guys from IA on the team) . . . I've heard from some friends that played against him that he's sort of a douche bag, but a friend of mine at UK says he's cool as hell . . . so there ya go newbie, some conflicting reports for ya! ; ) anyway . . . i'm still bitter that he and raef lafrenz didn't go to iowa, but whatever.

As far as celebrities, I've met Bobby Orr, Peter Gammons, Dan Gable (wrestling legend), Tim Dwight, and a couple other sports figures, i'll think of em later i'm sure!

[SH80]

I met Dave from the Real World 9, he was pretty social compared to when he was on the show. On the same night I also met Laura Lifshitz, that girl was a riot!

[juniorgrrl]

I didn't *meet* Theo from Road Rules, but I saw him walking by the DKE house one day at LSU.

He used to write a column for the Reveille, our paper. But it got pulled after awhile.

It was stupid, or "muy stupido" for our Latin American friends...all the LSU tigers out there will know what I'm talking about

What did Theo get pulled from the paper for?

[TigerGirl]

Juniorgrrl--

I know exactly what you're talking about. LOL. No disrespect to the boy but he's an IDIOT. He came up to one of my sorority sisters and I in the rec to tell us that he liked our handbags. Can we all say LAME????? I didn't even realize that Theo's column was gone. I quit reading it after about the first couple of weeks. Homeboy just gave us a bad rep while he was on the show.

[juniorgrrl]

I think Theo got pulled because the general student body was about to revolt. His column topics included stuff like "I had a party last weekend and someone stole my Tony Sachere's," or "Girls who have been shacking and you see going home early in rumpled clothes"

In every column however, he had one phrase translated into spanish and said "for my latin american friends." It just wasn't funny after the first time.

TigerGirl - LOL. What kind of bag was it? Was it at least a Kate Spade

[ees125]

When I was in high school our basketball team played Koby Bryant's school (Lower or Upper Marion, I forget which) I hope I spelled all of that right. Got his autograph then...kind of funny to see him play in the NBA now.
