Let's see - celebrities who I actually have some sort of connection to (plus a few random ones thrown in just because they make good anecdotes):
- Queen Latifah lived next door to me for a while.
- Dustin Hoffman goes to my temple sometimes.
- I went to theater camp with Mary Kate & Ashley's younger sister.
- I went to school with Alex Linz and Corbin Bleu (they're both actors).
If we're just going by people I've met, the list is a lot longer (hey, I live in Los Angeles) - and this is only off the top of my head, as I'm sure there have been a lot of people who I didn't recognize or forgot about (my mom has a friend who gets us into movie premieres once in a while). It's really unfortunate that I'm not particularly starstruck or this would all be a lot cooler.
- I tripped Antonio Villaraigosa (mayor of Los Angeles).
- I met Alex Trebek when I was on Jeopardy.
- Christina Ricci (I think it was her) spoke at the graduation for my summer arts program.
- I saw Rachel Bilson and one of the guys from the O.C. when I was campaigning for Kerry in Nevada. I also met his daughters.
- Speaking of that, I met Kerry and Gray Davis at another rally a few months before that. I also apparently met Hilary Clinton once, but I don't really remember that.
- Continuing in that vein, I met Bill Clinton right before he became President. I ran away.
- I spent a day hanging out at the Playboy Mansion once, so I had to mee
someone "interesting", right?
- Er...I met Bill Nye the Science Guy once?
