Did you know he only likes asian women??

I did not know much about him...but I figured after awhile he likes the company of asian people. He had lots of asian friends in Vancouver. He wasn't being creepy around me, but I know he's got a Korean wife.

I was on Wild n' Crazy Kids back in the mid 90s! The hosts were famous back then...

Otherwise, I met T.R. Knight (George on Grey's Anatomy) back before he was famous and still doing plays at the Guthrie. Super dooper nice guy.

And I talked to Kathy Griffin on the phone when I worked at a call center! That's the same as "meeting."

Oh my gosh, my inner 10 year old is jealous! LOL... I was dying to go on that show when it was on Nickelodeon. hahaha, it looked like so much fun!

[jjorgense]

I met the New Kid's Donnie Wahlberg in Seattle... he was very sweet, he invited myself and a friend to an afterparty. His manager was a complete douche bag....he wanted me to come "back to his room." I informed him I wasn't a groupie. I also met Glen Campbell in Phoenix right after his DUI incident. He came into the office where I worked for his hurt hand.

I met Christina Aguilara when her tour came through Denver in 2003. Wouldn't call it a formal intro either. She came into the club downtown where I stripped. The manager came back to the dressing room freaking out and freaked me out by grabbing me and telling me to be my best and get onstage - the stage she was sitting at with her posse. I am so outgoing, but the three songs I was onstage seemed to last three hours and I was just a nervous wreck. This was her Dirrty Tour for frick's sake! How could I compare?! So I didn't go up to anyone that put anything on the table and just prayed for it to be over. Horrible...

Considering that I'm shy and not very social, I've met quite a few.. sometimes multiple times and have hung out with, some I'm friends of their family, or vice versa. I'd be here all night with accompanying stories, so I'll just say there names and a quick assessment of the experience.


Queen Latifah ( Always nice and down to Earth)

Redman (crazy and funny as hell)

The Fugees ( all cool... haven't seen/talked to Lauryn Hill since she had her uhhh...sabbatical)

The Roots ( all cool, one member is particularly generous and I love him to death.)

Della Reese ( very sweet!)

Steve Harvey ( was a jerk!)

Macy Gray ( hella nice and funny)

Common ( I plead the fifth)

Kindred The Family Soul ( soooooooooooo cool)

Jazzyfatnastees ( see above)

Jaguar Wright ( crazy as hell and a good partner to play Spades with)

Jill Scott ( Very nice, and fun to be around)

T.K. Carter ( cool as hell)

Dave Chappelle ( I don't even need to say dude is hilarious)

India.Arie ( she has been nice to me, but she has a rep of being kinda nasty sometimes)

Anthony David ( hella cool)

Joi ( My extra cool sexy and talented girl-crush. Can I just say that Big Gipp is an idiot for messing up his marriage with her?)

Erykah Badu ( friendly and nice)

Anthony Hamilton ( SO chill and nice)

Pharoahe Monch (cool)

Tyra Banks ( she is so crazy, funny{because she's crazy as hell} and generous.)


A handful of NFL players ( one is an old friend), and more NBA players whose names I care to remember, or that anyone here would give a crap about, LOL

I know I'm forgetting someone, but my experiences have been overwhelmingly positive.

okay - you've met like all my favourite people ever. how? lol

[MACaholic21]

I met Mariah Carey --- she was the only celeb I ever really cared to meet and when I met her I felt complete <3 haha

[NatalieMT]

I met quite a few people who are 'celebs' under varying circumstances sometimes as a friend, sometimes as a fan, but probably one of the only ones who is universally known was Kelly Clarkson. Also the one I'm most proud of meeting of course! She was SO lovely, bless her heart. Honestly had a fantastic time in her company - she had a really great sense of humour too.

[SuSana]

Nicole Richie at LAX (airport not the club) a few years ago, she was really small, and that was back when she was supposedly "chubby"

Will Sasso from Mad TV at a hotel in Carlsbad where we were having our family reunion this summer, my BIL's took a pic with him

A player from the Broncos, I forgot his name but we met him at Applebee's during our lunch break, bought us lunch and he started hooking up with my friend for a while then she found out he had a wife... so that was the end of that.

Usher in Las Vegas a few years ago, he was in the car next to us waiting to turn and he rolled down the window and we said hi.

I think there is someone else but I can't remember right now.

I met N Sync twice
They came to Montreal when they were'nt very popular so I got to talk with them. Justin was already very snob but Chris and JC were fantastic.

98 Degrees, twice too. Somewhat the same story than N Sync, but they were all very nice. Nick was super duper cute and sweet.

The Spice Girls, before the big mania. They were all sweet except Mel B and Gerry. Victoria was soooo nice!

The shade of green on my face right now is not make-up. You're so lucky!

[Jennybella]

I met:
-The Gotti Boys and hung out with them at clubs a few times
-Mia Farrow at the bank and i didnt know who she was
-Scotty Pippen when he walked right into DH on 5th ave
-Sal the stockbroker from Howard Stern
-this girl from Ghostwriter

[stacylynne]

I have met a lot of celebs. All very nice & down to earth. They're human just like us but just with a lot more $$$$

[Corvs Queen]

Oh and I know Tommy Burleson. He's from my hometown and still lives in the county. He was big back in the day. I graduated with his oldest son Robert and had a crush on him like none other until I realized he's a douche. Tommy is super sweet and crazy tall and his wife is like half his size and the cutest little thing ever.

Tommy Burleson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I havent met much, i met NSYNC back stage at a concert in honolulu in 1998 the only nice guy to me was chris and joey.

I met craig something you know the new james bond?? I saw him at the mall and god damn hes TALL AND HUGE~~ and very fashionable xD

I met david beckham when he came to hawaii one year ago.. I heard he would be working with a bunch of kids playing soccer with them, so i took my daughter and went to the soccer field.... and holy ---- hes hot!!!!!!!

I saw a bunch of other celebrities b/c of concerts and what not, but i never personally met them

[abbyquack]

I worked at a couple hotels, one in the middle of Times Square, so I checked a few celebs into rooms a lot or had interactions of that sort with:

Donnie Osmond - he stayed at my hotel for like 4 months and we became buds, he even gave me amazing tickets to see him play Gaston in Beauty and the Beast on broadway.

Marie Osmond - really small in real life, she is absolutely tiny!! but more reserved than her brother.

Michael Lohan - in Utah of all places! He was looking for Lindsay who was supposed to be coming to my hotel (her lawyer and publicist were staying there to visit her in rehab or something). I helped him try to contact them and then he left.

Lindsay and Dina Lohan - didn't really meet them but saw them shopping at Nordys in Orem, Utah which is a totally obscure place in this world lol. So it was big news to me.

Lily Tomlin

Tony Parker

Rihanna

Taylor Hicks

Nick Lachey

Nelly Furtado

and a ton of c list stars if some of the ones I mentioned aren't already on that list! hehe.

I would have given my right arm to meet them! Of course I'm left-handed so right arm isn't even a big deal. lol jk. But i was *this* close to meeting them in 2000 when they came to NY for the release of their album and I missed it b/c my cell phone wasn't turned on and i missed a very important phone call from my connection, thus when I got home and heard the message, I was like dammit!! lol. Oh well, 8 years later I'm not over that stupid mistake, but definitely over Nsync. But if they made a comeback I might not be over them.

[Rennah]

Not really anyone...

My dad has met Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas through business, lol... he jokes around like, "Oh yeah, I was hanging out with Mike & Cathy..."
Apparently she is really nice & beautiful in person. I've never met them though...

I kinda met Alonzo Bodden (Last Comic Standing) and Jo Koy (another comedian). Also Finesse Mitchell.

lmao, when I was a kid, my summer camp got to meet Jaleel White (Urkel). But I didn't go to camp that day.

Oh! I did meet all the guys from Styles of Beyond (They collaborated with Mike Shinoda to form Fort Minor) at Projekt Revolution last year. I have a pic & autographs.

ummm I think I met some of the cast members from Young & the Restless & Samuel L. Jackson when I was a kid. They were here for a golf tournament. I don't really remember much about them though...

A really loooong time ago I was at a Keyshia Cole concert in San Francisco and Robin Thicke was opening for her. While we were in line outside for them to open the door, Robin Thicke came in and everyone went all crazy and was taking pictures with him and he was really nice. But the whole time my friend and I were like "who is this little white guy? why does everyone want to take a picture with him?!" haha... This was before he got really popular and we didn't recognize him. Do'h!
