Celebs You've Met or Encountered - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I opened in concert for Trace Adkins but he was supposedly a jerk and wouldn't let the bands opening for him meet him in person. but i was front row to his show. i've been front row and touched many stars though not personally met them all.

Front Row: Trace Adkins, Papa Roach (then met Tobin the bassist at walmart that nigth) Hinder touched the lead singer, Tracy Lawrence front row, met in person John Michael Montgomery at an American Idol local preaudition contest, Bret Michaels (best person i've ever touched EVER

) and let's see umm...some christian cross over band that i can't seem to remember the name of at all.

saw Buck Cherry pretty close once. same Dierks Bentley about 4 rows back with Bucky Covington and Luke Bryan (before fame) saw Taylor Swift really close with Craig Morgan, saw Lynard Skynard and Kidrock, saw Garth Brooks, Michael Buble, Eric Clapton and the lead singer from The Who. i've seen so many bands now it's hard to count them all. been front row or right up close to most of them.

anyways that's about it for me. only one i actually snagged a pic of was John Michael Montgomery and my husband swears to this day that he was checking out my BUTT as we walked away.

I would definitely go silent. To me, they are like wild animals and I wish they would just stand still (and not get weirded out, lol) so that I could just look at them...especially Johnny.

There are a lot of things filmed up by you, and in DC. I'm surprised you have never bumped into a film set. My nephews got to see the Batmobile (tumbler) in Chicago. I'm so jealous.

Some of my older friends in Chicago said the wildest thing they ever witnessed was the filming of "Blues Brothers." Lots of crashing and damage downtown Chicago.

capt_noonie · 10-20-2011, 08:29 PM

one of my costuming clients was there also, saw some parts of the filming of Dark Knight in Dwtn Chicago. So cool! that's one of my fave movies, and one of the best comic book movies.

I totally forgot about the movie sets that are always filming in Chicago. My husband works in the city and he always sees actors~at least once a week he comes home to tell me about a filming he drove past. Ooohh~duh~he's also been in two commercials with his work truck. They are both B of A commericals and you can see his truck passing in the background. He knows for sure that it's him because his truck is very unique and you can see the truck number. I know the one I posted here about but the other he just told me about maybe a month ago. He said his coworkers told him about it but we have not caught that one yet.

Micah my love · 10-21-2011, 04:53 AM

In the 70's i flew out of Nashville to D/FW with Marty Robbins & band members
they were so much fun

celstu1 · 10-21-2011, 05:49 AM

Brit that is sooooo cool!!!

I swear I am an opposite magnet to celebs... Ive only met Triple H and Chyna from WWF(WWE now) in person.

I even went to Hollywood and walked around Sunset blvd, Rodeo Drive, etc... I spent tons of time in NYC, and NOTHING!!! I repel celebs!!! LOL

I did SEE Julia Childs (the cook) at the airport one time. I saw Seth Green, actually walked side by side with him to a Cirque Du Soliel show in Vegas. I saw the Black eyed peas when they did TRL in NYC, but did not meet them. I have NO pics with any celeb... how boring am I?

You guys made me remember that I saw the tumbler as well. They had filmed the new batman movie here in downtown Pittsburgh over the summer. It was funny cause I'm thinking the batmobile was the typical black looking car. Then, on my way walking to work, I see a swarm of people around this tank looking car. I was like, "what the heck! apparently people will take pics of anything related to the movie". Once I got into work, I told my boyfriend about this car and he goes "holy crap that's the batmobile" and I'm like "uhhh nooo?" hahah Then I got stuck watching the first batman movie with him so he could show me the tumbler.

chachi · 10-21-2011, 07:29 AM

Oh I forgot I met broadway star Kathy Rigby after seeing her perform at her Peter Pan play in Cinncinatti

That is very cool that you opened for him. How rude though that he wouldn't come say hi to you for a second.

How fun to be in a commercial! I'm sure he sees a lot in Chicago. TV shows and movies are always filming somewhere in the city.

I'm jealous! I have been following a couple of blogs about the filming in your area. Batman also has some sort of flying machine for the new movie, and to film it, they mounted it on a big truck. That must have been something to see for the people in the offices lining the streets.

I love the movie too and would have enjoyed seeing some of the filming. There is a little video clip floating around the web of Heath Ledger waiting to film part of the scenes on Lower Wacker, when the Joker is chasing Harvey Dent in the armored vehicle. Heath was skateboarding in costume.

I heard about that but haven't seen it yet.

That was one of my favorite scenes. When they're shooting at the truck that Dent is in, and he's like "These things are made for that right?" and the cop goes "He's gonna have to use something a lot bigger than that!" and Joker pulls out a rocket launcher! LOL And how Joker added an "S" in front of the sign on the his truck changing "Laughter" into "Slaughter"

capt_noonie · 10-21-2011, 02:44 PM

I've seen some other celebs that I forgot that I saw! Selma Blair outside Fred Segal. She was talking to a young fan. She is tiny! Jay Leno doing one of his JayWalking segments on Melrose Ave.

Oh how can I forget I met Thomas Lennon who plays Lt Dangle on Reno 911! a few years ago outside Comic Con. He wears aviators in real life. He's actually really nice, and when he shakes your hand he say "Nice to meet you". http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/att...e-dsc04133.jpg
