Worked with VP Dick Cheney (have a picture), when he was at Halliburton. Met several country singers back in the 80s - Lynn Anderson, Crystal Gale, Ronnie Millsap, Merle Haggert, Waylon Jennings, etc. Gosh, I'm getting old!

When we met her, she was a b***h to us, very rude. Now it's her politics, I can't stand her.

Tommy Lee Jones was pretty cool, joked around and whatnot.

Jimmy Choo?!

and he's going to bring her shoes?!?!? I would have lost my mind and either screamed or fainted

Ah, that's amazing!

No one will have heard of mine but when I worked in a shoe store one of the DJs from DC101 came in with his father on Easter. He's only locally famous I guess. I also met the bassist & the lead singer of Kill Hannah after one of their shows. That's it

SladesMommy · 05-21-2008, 10:08 AM

I was in the movie 'now and then' so i met:

Demi Moore
Rumour (her daughter), whats weird her daughter was in one of the scenes I was in and so we were playing between takes and the nanny was taking pictures of us... so weird to think their might be pictures of me somewhere in one of Demi Moore or Bruce Willis' house

I also met- Tom Hanks wife, Rosie o'donnell, Melanie Griffith, Christina Ricci, Devon Sawa, Thora Birch, and Gabby Hoffman

RONLYNN · 05-21-2008, 10:29 AM

Well I've "SEEN" a lot of stars (living in LA) but at far as actually meeting and knowing...only psuedo stars (Big Brother houseguests - know lots of them)!

SladesMommy · 05-21-2008, 10:33 AM

He's not really a star, but if anyone remembers ACE from Real World Paris, I knew him way before he went on MTV. After RW he brought Mallory and Adam from RW paris to town and I hung out with them for a night.

yorkiekist · 05-21-2008, 10:35 AM

I met Elvis when he was filming a movie in Sedona!!

I haven't but my SIL's mother has, in a sence.
I am sure many of you remember Dean Martin, right?
Well his mother just adored him and when he passed she went
into moarning and sent many mass cards to the family in CA.
One night several months later, Dena, Dean's youngest daughter
called her to thank her for the many cards she sent and a friendship
began. Dena keeps in touch with her and even invited and sent
a limo when she was in NY last year for her book release about her
father for them to come. Also there several pages telling everyone
about her new friend and husband who loved her father so much.
There was an awards dinner in Dean's name also and once again
Dena sent a Limo to pick the two of them up and they sat at the
head table and his mother started a friendship up with Tony Dansa
that night too. He invited her to be on his show to tell her story
but she was too timid. When his show ended last year he invited her
to the last show and she sat in the audience.
Cute story I think.

P.S. WHen her son married my daughter they danced to
"IT'S A MARSHMALLOW WORLD". They always danced to
that over the years and since it was a Xmas wedding
it was perfect. Of course a tape was sent to Dean so she
could see it.

She was very nice and gracious! I was pleasantly surprised because you never know how celebs are going to act off-camera.

It's funny- Heatherette was actually at.... Wendy's!

Good luck getting tickets for Regis and Kelly!

We meet her after a taping of "Hope and Faith" (which has since been canceled).

teri88 · 05-21-2008, 10:46 AM

I've met Donny Osmond many times
Tons of Broadway stars that most people wouldn't recognize
Diana Degarmo (American Idol runner up)
Andy Gibb
Mac Davis
KC from the Sunshine Band
Tony Orlando
Tom Dreesen (he's a comedian)
and I'm sure I'll remember others as soon as I hit submit

Sunnie · 05-21-2008, 10:54 AM

This doesn't count as a "meeting", but after the tsunami, teddy bear artists all over the world were asked to creat a bear to be auctioned to send money to the child victims of the tsunami. One of the promoters asked me to make a "Peter Sellers" bear. She wanted it made as Peter Sellers, the man, not as one of his characters. I made the bear and his daughter, Sarah Sellers, who lives in the UK and owns a teddy bear shop, signed the certificate of authenticity along with me before it was auctioned. The bear can be seen on my website here Donation Bears

Sookie · 05-21-2008, 11:02 AM

Well, if you

old ladies and also are into rock, you might be interested to know that I not only met but had lunch with Jim Hendrix in the Village! He showed up in a hooded fur parka!

I also have Ginger Baker's drumsticks (Cream), which he personally gave to me!

MsFamousHepburn · 05-21-2008, 11:06 AM

I've met Johnny Depp's father at my old orthopedic surgeon's office. He was such a funny old man, and looks JUST like Johnny.

Um...I've met several bands, but I imagine few people have heard of them because most of them are in "Christian" bands. But I'll name them anyway...

Jon Foreman (lead singer of Switchfoot)
Tim Foreman (Switchfoot)
Chad Butler (Switchfoot)
All the original members of Relient K.
Peter Furler (My all time favorite vocalist; from the Newsboys)
Phil Joel (Newsboys)
Jeff Frankenstein (Newsboys)
Paul Coleman (Newsboys)
Duncan Phillips (Newsboys)
John & Korey Cooper (Skillet)
Lori Peters (Skillet)
Kevin Haaland (Skillet)
Ben Kasica (Skillet)
Ken Steorts (Skillet)
Mark Stuart (Lead singer from Audio Adrenaline; I got to sing with him!)
Leigh Nash (Sixpence None the Richer)
Dan Haseltine (Lead singer from Jars Of Clay)

Those are probably the only people I've met that anyone here would have heard of.
