Have you ever met anyone famous?
- Thread starter attorney-wife
- Start date
only Chad Michael Murray from One Tree Hill. The show is filmed in my town (Wilmington, NC). I was out hitting the bars with my husband and some friends that were in town visiting and there were teenagers girls surrounding him, I a stumbled my way through and got this picture from my husbands cell phone:
I don't know if you can count this or not, but a good friend of mine, her uncle was on the Singing Office, he was the guitarist person on the Sit N' Sleep mattress store team. I met him and like hugged him, and he hugged Joey Fatone and then he autographed a head shot of him and on the side he wrote, I hugged Joey Fatone!
Our family met Gale Sales (Chicago Bears football player/Brian Piccolo's BF) at a March of Dimes Sports Awards Dinner about 12 years ago. We also met Bobby Hull of the Chgo Black Hawks. They signed a "Nerf" football that was given to all the guests (we still have it, along with a few other autographs from sports "heroes" who were in attendance)
I also met Taylor Miller (a/k/a Nina Cortland Warner on the ABC soap All My Children) about 8 years ago -- I was shopping at the Borders store in downtown Chicago, and she was in line in front of me. I tapped her on the shoulder and asked her (just to make sure) if it was really her, and she smiled (she has a great smile!) and said yes. We talked for a few minutes (her character/storyline were the whole reason I started watching that show when I was in 8th grade!!) and then she gave me an autograph for my husband & I (my husband used to watch the show when he was on the Fire Department!)
When I was a little girl, I remember my parents pointing out Connie Stevens at the John Hancock Building (Chicago) -- if course, I had no idea who she was at the time, but I remember my parents being very excited!!
I've also attended a few book signings -- Kim Cattrall is probably the most famous (She was signing copies of her first book, Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm) and James Patterson (who signed Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas) come to mind. I missed my favorite author of all time -- Nicholas Sparks (I couldn't get out of work
)

I used to live in West Hollywood and visit the Grove, Beverly Center and Robertson all the time. I also have cousins who are directors and producers in Hollywood, so, yeah, I have met a lot of famous people - too many to list. Most have been very nice, humble people. Of course there are the a-holes, but that is not just limited to celebrities.
Lisa Whelchel-played Blair on the "Facts of Life".
Kevin Bacon-knocked me over while running to catch his limo outside the Boulder Station Hotel and Casino in Henderson, NV. He was nice enough to help me up and invite me to hear his band play at the bar that night.
Lonestar-a friend of mine dated one of the guys in band.

I got to meet Brett Scallions and the rest of the guys from Fuel...back before the drummer and Brett split from the band (2004?). They were all nice.
I met Josh Hartnett when I was in London. He was there doing the Rain Man at the Apollo theater.
Not sure if this counts, but during a Bon Jovi concert in early '06, my friend and I had floor seats, and during one of the songs Jon Bon Jovi came out into the crowd...I, along with tons of other girls, nearly got trampled, but I managed to get a half hug and touch his pecs!! lmao!
I've met a bunch of other ones in the past, I just can't remember right now. No one tooooo famous.

I have met lots of race car drivers from both Nascar and Indy, Mario Andretti, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earhardt Jr. and Sr., Danica Patrick, + many more. The nicest ever was Richard Petty. John Travolta and his family, The Jonas Brothers with my 10 year old, big thrill. Robin Williams, Kirsty Alley, probably the most exciting Oprah Winfrey! I met the really cute guy who plays Superman on the tv series (name?), he was not so nice.

All members of 311, including Nick Hexum's brother Zack
Guitarist of Sugarcult
Mike, Chris, and "Toad" the keyboardist from All-American Rejects
Drake Bell, who made eyes at me from the stage and then was too embarrassed to talk to me when he saw me backstage after the show (I had a friend who was in his band touring with him)
I saw Jesse Spencer across the way in VIP when I went to Metal Skool one night, but I was too shy to go say hi
Everyone but the drummer of Gym Class Heroes
I used to have an internship-turned-friendship with a photographer who now lives in LA, and most of my star encounters have been because of her/my trip to visit her last year. Most of them are sweethearts, but you always have a handful of *******s, famous or not.
