Just curious?? You know the whole 6 degrees of seperation thing.. Have any of you ever met anyone famous? If so who and where? Related to anyone famous? I am always reading celebrity gossip magazines ( its my guilty pleasure

) and I wonder where the "normal" part of the family is LoL I've never met anyone famous really, but my mom used to go to a bar in Terre Haute, IN that was owned by Larry Birds brother and he used to come in a lot I guess... I'm from Indiana so not much goes on there LoL I did recently meet some comedians that I have seen on TV before.. Steve Byrne and Sebastian Maniscalco and Sam Tripoli.. they were hilarious.. ok , i will shut up... Your turn

Well I am also guilty of celebrity news.

I love reading all the latest gossip, it really is so silly but it's innocent fun right?

While vacationing in New York during fashion week where lots of stars are known to be, my girlfriend and I were looking very hard to see some stars. Well we had just about given up all hope and were sitting on some steps outside of a building and out walks Robert Deniro. He tells us hello and to have a good evening. That was pretty cool. Also on that trip we went to the Regis & Kelly show and met them. And while having breakfast Sandra Bullock walked right past the window. Like I say it is so silly, but cheap entertainment. My hubby thinks it is really ridicoulous.LOL

I was in the Exorcist movie back in the '70's...in one of the Jaws movies...Sandra Bullock went to my high school, along with Warren Beatty, Shirley MacLaine and Forrest Tucker. Grew up in the DC area...worked for a news magazine and got to meet alot of celebrities...great fun.

Well, I've got a few 6 degrees of sep things going on. My fave is one of my customers from my shop is the brother to Ted Elliot, who is one of the two main writers of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies (also Shrek 1, National Treasure 1 and 2), which if anyone knows me, I love me some Johnny Depp! So that's 1, 2, 3 degrees of sep from Johnny whoo hoo!

Also, I had a friend who used to be a high fashion model, and is friends with Leo diCaprio. that's 2 degrees. and she is friends with Gisele when she was dating Leo, also 2 degrees. I met Leo at his 25th bday party at the El Rey back in 1999 or 2000 I forget (I wasn't even 21 yet tee hee). So maybe that could be one degree, but I'm sure he would never remember who I was. He was pretty drunk and his hat was all sideways before it was the "cool" way to wear your hat. LOL

I worked on a Mercedes commercial for the relaunch of the SL convert directed by Michael Bay (Transformers director). He yelled at me for fussing over the main actress's dress. Does that count as first degree? LOL He's the biggest a** EVER!!!!! and his movies suck!

My bff's bf is friend's with Morrissey. nuff said.

Me personally, I know no one.

LOL I know huh? Well I met the actor who plays Lt Dangle on Reno 911 when I went to Comic Con. I took a pic with him, but he doesn't know my name either. He did say nice to meet you though afterwards. He was a nice guy.

He purell'ed his hands before he shook mine.

MizMaRLeysMoM86 · 08-12-2009, 09:15 PM

I love love love Reno 911... a couple of my friends dressed up as the whole Reno 911 cast for last halloween.. the guy dressed at Lt Dangle had the look down to a T LoL daisy dukes and everything

Nancy1999 · 08-12-2009, 09:21 PM

I went to college with David Letterman, and since he knows practically everyone, I can relate lots of people through him. I also meant Lucille Ball, Henry Fonda, and Jack Lemon, I know the guy who was a pilot for Air Force One, so through him, I can even go back to the . . . well I'll just say a president took a trip to China, and that makes me 3 degrees from Mao Zedong. I just realized all the famous people I know are dead, except David. My kids have met a lot of people, but I've never heard of them.

Ok here's my pic with "Lt Dangle". Sorry it's a bit blurry. We just took one pic.

He was nice enough to make a joke-y pose. Love him.

That's crazy you went to college with David Letterman. Like at the same time? that means you know EVERYBODY in the 6 degrees of sep.

I love Jack Lemmon. Old guys are awesome.
