Celebrity Sightings

Wed Aug 23, 2006 8:38 pm

Almost everyone had a celebrity they'd like to meet. So who is it?
Could be from movies, music, sports, tv, etc....
Or have you already met someone famous?
Where did (or would) you meet them?
What did (or would) you say to your favorite celebrity?
Or would you rather meet someone who's already died?

********************************************************
Personally, my top celeb to meet would be Johnny Depp. He seems have a lot of integrity, seems to be very down to earth, and you could probably have fascinating conversations with him. Oh, and he's hot.

The ones I have met are Kiefer Sutherland (about a month ago, a appearance for his record label); Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr, and Tony Stewart (NASCAR people, I work for a wish granting foundation and worked on wishes for kids and met them with them); Gabrielle Carteris (from Beverly Hills, 90210); and the band Oleander. Rather eclectic bunch

So let's hear yours!!

When I worked at a Kids R Us, Rosie O Donnell came in looking for baby clothes and asked me where the infant section was. I had absolutely no idea it was her until afterward when the cashier saw the signature on her credit card slip and discreetly asked her. I have an aunt that resembles Rosie so I really didn't give this lady's resemblence much thought. Plus she was wearing sweatpants and had no makeup on....didn't think anything of it. XD

I'd loveloveloveloveLOVE to meet Julie Andrews. She's one of those rare celebrities that is just timeless and has been around to entertain generations of people. I love her. My mom loves her. My grandmother loves her. Now THAT's leaving your mark on the industry.

I'd love to meet Johnny Depp or Sharon Osbourne.

I've met Gary Liniker before when he opened some leukimia awareness raising event where I live, and my cousin has met alot of people from Hollyoaks as she went to Liverpool uni and thus hung out in all of the places they went to

I was an usher for a John Hagee event here, so I got a free picture of him and his music group. He was trying ot get ot his table, so he was trying to squeeze in between my dad and the rope. My dad was pretty close to the rope, and neither one of them are small guys. My dad was about to snap at him until he realised who it was. That's pretty much the only person I "met".

There are a lot of people I'd love to meet, though. So, let's start at A. Alyson and Amanda Michalka...XD I'd love to meet Tony Danza too.

I nearly knocked over Harold Ramis once at Corner Bakery.... and that would be a sight since he's a rather big fellow. He lives around Chicago, so people see him out and about all the time if he's not working on a project in L.A.

I would LOVE to meet Tom Brokaw. He is awesome. And of course my Orlando Bloom... Jack Nicholson would rock, too. Ben Folds, Jeff Goldblum... the list goes on.

I don't think I've met anyone famous, but my mom has met Kristin Armstrong (Lance Armstrong's ex-wife) and her kids. And my sister met Barbara Walters because she was an escort for the daytime Emmys. (And she said that Barbara Walters is like a snob.)

I'm not sure who I'd like to meet, though.

You have to meet Josh in order to marry him, you know.

I really don't have a desire to meet any celebrity, just because of how I acted like such an idiot around Jeremy Camp. "LOLOL CN I HAV A HUG?! LOLOLOLOL" "I'll shake you hand.." "*LOOKS AT HAND* *LUNGES FOR HUG* *RUNS AWAY*" weirdo I are. XD

Yeah, I know.
I'm trying to figure out how exactly to get in touch with him. I have his phone number, though...

I saw Coral and Abe from Real World/Road Rules MTV in Livingston, Montana. Me and my friends went to eat at a place called The Pickle Barrel. We saw who they were but we didn't bother them since they were eating. I mean, how would you feel trying to eat your lunch and someone was bothering you? xD. So when they left, we all started exclaiming about it and calling our friends back home. It was interesting.

I met Freddy Eastwood, top scorer for Southend United and Steve Tilson, manager of Southend United, and had them sign a picture for me

Also some kid from star wars was there, and Seamus Finnigan from Harry Potter (He looked exactly like Wayne Rooney)

Not exactly celebrities, but I'm friends with some famous folk musicians.

(famous-ish? I haven't met all that many people who listen to folk music, and most of those I have I met at the same place I met the musicians I was talking about. So I'm not actually quite sure. But I think they're famous, in the world of folk music at least.)
