My neice works for a stationary store in Texas, she's been working the Dallas store. This guy came in and handed her a black American Express card so knowing that it's an elete card she looked at the name.... Jimmy Choo. He looked at her tennis shoes and was like oh no no honey. He supposedly is going to bring her a pair of shoes!!! Then she went down to Starbucks and ran into Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill). She also said that the guy from Prison Break comes in all the time and lives in the area.

I never meet anyone famous!

I have spotted Chyna and HHH (triple H) both from WWE wrestling about 8 years ago when they lived in my area, but other than that... noone... and I spent tons of my life in BOSTON!

Ive been to LA and shopped on Rodeo Drive ... Ive shopped on Fifth Avenue in NY and have been to Times Square 100x.... still nothing!

Im also one who never sees animals! I never see Deer grazing in a field on the side of the road, or wild turkey herds that roam my whole region... I never saw a Moose even though Ive been to the mountains in NH during moose season at peak hours a million times!

Im just not LUCKY like that!

Wow.. that was a RANT huh??

LOL

I met Cyndi Lauper last year in NYC at this bar in QT Hotel! She was with her entourage.

I also saw Gwen Stefani too in front of MTV studios but none of them gave me a thing! hahahaha!

Tommy Lee Jones, Various pro wrestlers that used to play softball in the Memphis area (most of them before they moved to WWE) and I've met the current MS governor (Haley Barbour) as well as the one he replaced (Ronnie Musgrove).

I've also met Susan Sarandon but I try to keep that one quiet.

Rudys Mom · 05-21-2008, 08:57 AM

That is so.....neat that your niece met those people.

For everyone else that posted, I think it's neat who you's have met also.

I met Kevin James from King of Queens soon after he started that show. My SIL & my son & daughter were @ FAO Schwartz in NYC and he was shopping in there. Had 2 people with him. One looked like his body guard. I went up to him and told him I loved his show. He was very nice. I asked him if he would mind having a picture taken with me. He said that would be fine. My son took the pic of us two. I have it in a NYC frame in my living room. That was such an exciting day for me.

I'd love to see Chad Michael Murray

! I've met/seen tons of famous people, but I got to pick up Ricky Nelson (I KNOW.....I'm OLD, LOL) and his people at the airport in Oakland once and chauffer him around in a limo for the few days he was in town. That was pretty fun.

I just have to ask out of curiosity. What was the matter with Susan Sarandon when you met her? Wow, Tommy Lee Jones also. He is such a great actor! Lucky You.

I have met Ron Darling (a former Mets player) Doug Wilson (from TLC's Moving Up and Trading Spaces) and Renee Zellweger.

BubblPopElectrc · 05-21-2008, 09:13 AM

Britney Spears
Kelly Ripa
Faith Ford
Kelis (Remember the Milkshake song?

)
Heatherette (If you are into fashion you'll know who they are.)

That's all the celebs that I have met (didn't include those that I have seen), I think.

What was Kelly Ripa like? My hubby has always like her!

Yorkiedaze · 05-21-2008, 09:17 AM

I saw John Wayne and Kirk Douglas in Madrid Spain back in 1964. They had just tore up a bar and was staggering out and nearly knocked me down. John Wayne looked down at me, tipped his hat and said "excuse us little lady" and staggered on down the street.
I saw Ava Gardner on several occasions while I was living in Spain. She lived there as well. I also saw Ann Margaret in Madrid around the same time I saw John Wayne and Kirk Douglas. I think they were over there filming Circus World.
I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito in San Francisco when I was up there visiting one of my sons. They were filming Junior.
I have seen Fess Parker several times (he lives in this area) and had my picture taken with him on one occasion at his winery.
I also saw Chuck Yeagar and had pictures taken with him when he was flying at the air show at Edwards AFB, CA. He's the one who broke the sound barrier Oct.14th 1947 over Rogers Dry Lake in Southern CA. in a Bell x-1 rocket plane. If you have never seen the movie THE RIGHT STUFF then your missing out on one of the best movies ever made. It's all about that time era and the coming of the space age, Kennedy, his assination, Johnson and all. A great line up of stars and a movie once seen you will want to see over and over. Promise! It a long movie as well.
