Celebrity Sightings

Ok, so I saw Ellen Degeneres in line for a bathroom at Cabaret in NYC. She looked like HELL! This was was many years ago...she had faded away (prior to her talk show).

Tom Wopat (Luke Duke from Dukes of Hazard) at Newark Airport! He was soooooooooo nice! He was on a pay phone next to me when I yelled, "Luke Duke!" He just started laughing. The friend I was talking to on the pay phone didn't believe he was standing next to me so he got on the phone and talked to her too!

Kyra Sedgwick or however you spell her name asked me where the bathroom was at some place in NYC the Bacon Brothers were playing at. (Am I sensing a bathroom theme here?)

And...Kevin Bacon! Thats right, folks. If you've ever talked to me you are in fact two degrees from Kevin Bacon! I saw him the same night Kyra asked me where the bathroom was. I met him outside the club. I got a picture with him too! He touched my shoulder. Ooooooooooh, baby! 😉

Oh sorry...I actually posted this because I was curious about others. Anyone met or see anyone famous?

Not me. "Famous" around here means you make great fried chicken and pie or own a fully operational farm that's running in the black. 🙂

LOL!

Oh...and I talked to Eric Nies (guy from the Real World) on the phone. Big whoop. I used to work with his cousin who was an arrogant jackass.

Ahh! How could I forget! I also got John Taylor from Duran Duran on the phone! Loooooooooong story, but it was a lot of work and I finally did it! I was about 15 I think. Would you believe I hung up on him the second he said hello?

I googled Rove McManus. Nope, never heard of him, but he looks kinda cute!

I'd like to get me some of that!

Posted by TasteOfChaos
Hahaha... Ooooh Yeah! I used to have the BIGGEST crush on him!

He is SUPER funny too!
I bet he has his Mercury in Aqua 🙂

I'm going to have to youtube this guy.

See, the thing with Oprah for me is...yeah its great that you do all these wonderful things, but do you have to shout it from the rooftops by naming everything after yourself? Thats not to say that she doesn't do things behind the scenes. How the hell would I know?

It would definitely be an impressive sighting though. I don't like her, but if I saw her...yeah, it'd be cool.

It is with shame that I admit...I was the biggest 90210 fan ever! I'd have passed out if I met Tori Spelling. Whoa! That would have been too weird!

What do you do for a living, Feisty?

I never liked Sharon Stone either. Not that it wouldn't be cool to see her too.

Ahhh, very cool SV!

saw these guys at a Q & A session about a week ago...I was WASTED...not a huge fan but they seemed ok...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Favorite band, ever. (but damn it, I hate their new album!)

THROAT VIRUS! HENRY ROLLINS! Excuse me, but why the hell are you meeting all of my favorite people!—!?!?

Too funny how the first two chicks you posted look like the same woman.

Ok, well stop meeting/seeing all my favorite people. Or take me with you.

You know, I think I was on a tour in Italy with Courtney Cox. I'll never know for sure, but my family and I went to Italy when I was 11. You're with a group of people and you travel the country together (with a tour guide). All I know is when that Bruce Springsteen video came out where he pulls her up on stage I was certain she was one of the people on that tour.

Hell yeah!

i saw brittany spears in 96' walking around in florida disney world licking an ice-cream. but it was pointlesscos back then i had no idea who she was lol. all i remember seeing was a bunch of creaming girls running past me like a herd of buffalo.

screaming*

The freakiest day of celeb sitings was seeing the father of Ronald Colemen (who was 'allegedly' murdered by O.J. Simpson) at a drug store. Then I went to a nearby deli where O.J. walked in. They were literally blocks away from each other just after the trial. Plus, I lived only a few blocks away from where the murders occurred.

All while doing security at festivals/gigs:
REM - seemed ploite and cool, one of them gave me a cigarette, the guitarist comes across as a too cool for school dickhead and wears shades indoors.
Girls Aloud - I want the one that usually stands on the left
Badly Drawn Boy - (same gig as REM) gave me cigarettes and told me to fuck the job off and go watch the concert🙂
Boyzone - 😢
Richard Branson

Noddy Holder - He was in reception at a place I once worked.
Tony Wilson (dude who owned factory records) - same place (this company also did voice overs/adverts)
I swear I saw Rod Stewart walking down the street when I was in Barcelona (he was playing their that week, so my friend and I reckon this dude must've been him)
Enrique Eglesias and his missus walking down the street in Oz - dude is taller than he looks on telly.

Bling

was Enrique at all dreamy in real life?

did he have that intense stare while taking his missus to starbucks?

What was his mole like in real life? Was it as dark and pronounced in person? 😉

WOW...this is awesome! I'm so jealous! Funny how you found so many of them to be nice. Ugh...Martin Short. He is always on...one of the many reasons I can't stand him.

Hey, Bling...what sort of vibe did you get off of Richard Branson? I love the feeling that guy gives me. So freakin' happy and open and friendly. (kinda like the vibe I get from you actually)

I'm just hoping there was a type in that visual. 😉

*typo

Not sure if you would call him a celeb... but I've met Joe Biden and over the years I have been to numerous political functions, fundraisers and parties in which he was present.

Hehe, i heart joe biden...speaks without a filter. Id love to bump into him.

i wanna kiss his face

He is very personable, very much a people's politician (DE politicians are in general). I think that the secret service are at their wits end whenever he makes a public appearance (at least in DE) due to the fact he still makes himself so very accessible - he even arranged for his mother's funeral to be a public service, about 700 were in attendance!

Not hard to bump into him though considering he tries to live his life like he always has... go to Greenville, DE where he lives, and on the weekends you're likely to see him and his wife out shopping or eating at a local restaurant. His wife, Jill, still gets her hair cut at the same place too.

Hehe, good ol' Joe. That guy just seems like he'll never become Washingtonized! I honestly wouldn't care where he stands politically...he just says what he thinks.

Shadows: hahahah, I think he might have had it cut off by that point 🙂

He had that thing cut off?!? Ugh..what is it with these people taking off or changing stuff that makes them unique!? Booooooooo.

Thats awesome about Richard Branson. I'd love to hang with that guy.

Jean Claude Van Damme at a Chinese restaurant.

I win.

Hahaha, I was going to ask the same thing.

I think he sold it on ebay?

Just kidding.

He could have gotten a lot of unneeded money for that mole!

Jean Claude Van Damme = zzzzzzzzzzzz (😉)

Stevie Wonder = woohoo!

Face user! 😉

Jerry Springer (he lives here part time I guess) - once at the movies downtown, and again getting ice cream at this dank ass place on the key.

Stephen King - getting gas.

(At a BP btw, although this was years ago.)

I never make a big deal when I see a celeb. I just smile at them and keep on moving on.
I feel like their lives are already big circuses, they don't need people staring at them and gawking and stating the obvious like "look it's Jerry Springer" derrr duh. Leave him alone god. Haha
