Describe your brush with fame

[brainsmile]

Who have you met that is a "celebrity" or what have you done to get your 15 minutes of fame?

[DarkFury]

Well... I know Roy Jones Jr, and I went to middle school with Emmett Smith. :D

Other than that, I met the real "Joe Clark" (i.e. "Lean on Me" story was about him) and I've met Warren G. who shares the exact same identical birthday with me (born on the same day.. but he sure makes a sh@tload more money than I do... :D )

[Cantacuzene]

Growing up in a spring training baseball town I've met tons of current and former stars. I ate lunch with Ramon and Pedro Martinez when I was 11. I met Reggie Jackson at a game (he was a jerk.) Met all the Dodger greats. Met Sandy Koufax at a 7-11. I was the assitant to the Dodger's team photographer during spring training when I was a senior in high school and got to meet all the Dodgers that year.

And when John Kennedy Jr. was in town for his flight training I met him because my mom was working at that facility and I happened to be there and he came in. Same thing with Joe Montana. I saw JC Chasez or whatever his name is of N'Sync try to buy drugs from one of my friends (who wasnt a drug dealer but for some reason JC thought he was) at Club Roxy here in Orlando. And one night downtown orlando my friends and I ran into Kevin Garnett at a Subway restuarant, i guess the T-wolves were in town for a game earlier that night. Thats all I can think of now, but I think there were more.

[brain]

I played blackjack with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon when Oceans 11 was filmed in Vegas at the Hard Rock. They asked me where I was staying and I was staying at NYNY. They both started laughing and said that it gets blown up in the movie. It was later edited out due to 9/11. They were pretty cool and we had lots of pretty ladies swarming around our table.

[CornMonkey]

the little sister of a good friend in high school is mila kunis. very...enthusiastic little girl. my sister actually was in the same 5th grade class with her as well. every single day my sister wanted to beat the crap out of mila. haha.

[Mike_N_Ike]

Ooo, I worked at a movie theater once and got to meet that one big white guy from Bloodsport. I forget his name.

More recently, I happened to meet Shaq at a shooting range in Inglewood a couple years ago because we were assigned to adjacent lanes. And I ran into Kobe at South Coast Plaza one day last summer.

The most fun was this one time that my friend who likes to pretend he's a club promoter got us VIP listed at Baby's, in the Hard Rock, LV. So we got to chill in the VIP room that night and it just happened to be the same night that Ken Shamrock was having his afterparty for the Ken Shamrock vs. Tito Ortiz fight. As it turned out, he got beaten up a bit too badly to make it - but I got to meet a lot of other fighters...I met his brother Frank Shamrock who turned out to be a really nice guy

[InfiniteNothing]

I went to JR high with Jessica Alba http://www.dancingmonica.com/imagefile/jessicaa_012.jpg

[ialsohaveadream]

Look at the freakin jugs on that girl!

Anyway, I used to work at Nickelodeon, so I met some celebs there, but celebrity doesn't excite me very much. Although I did get my picture taken with Master P. Got his autograph, too. "Make em say uuuuuunnnnhhhhhh"

[revil]

I was within spitting distance of John Glenn this past weekend. Of course I didn't spit...

[Burzhui]

They both started laughing and said that it gets blown up in the movie. It was later edited out due to 9/11. They were pretty cool and we had lots of pretty ladies swarming around our table.



yea but that was all because of you... :)

[blueindian]

i've met brian andreas (relativly famous folk artist) and got some signed works.

I've met and gotten autographs from Earl Scruggs, Del McCoury, and Jerry Clower.

When I went to Oak Hill Acadamy I met some dudes the eventually played for Carolina and some who are now pro, but I don't know who because I didn't care then and don't follow basketball now. The only reason I know if b/c a good friend of mine who is a bball freak told me, based on when i went there.

[seqiro]

I spent a long weekend at Darrell Hammond (http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/bios/Darrell_Hammond.html)'s house a couple months back. His wife and my wife are close friends.

[Kenas]

I am not sure if theater counts, but I saw a number of celebrities on Broadway, off-Broadway and so fourth.
I guess the most memorable was "The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui" with Al Pacino, Chazz Palminteri, Billy Crudup, Steve Buscemi, John Goodman and Tony Randall and number of other great actors ... the play was awesome ... acting ... obviously great.

As for celebrities in NYC, I had a friend visiting NYC two years ago from Montreal. Being a big celebrity buff, she was hunting for them through out the city. Nearly everyday she'd spot somebody famous ... I on the other hand had no idea who those people were ... I constantly see groupies in Manhattan running around somebody famous.

[cheapie]

[Kenas]

Yes, that guy on the left seem to be familiar ... I think I've seen him around ... around got|apex. :)
So which one of them is celebrity and who is he?

[guiseppewv]

I have seen and met many famous people but the only famous person that I really knew was Brad Paisley. I went to HS for 3 yrs with him. My gradudating class had 60 ppl so everyone knew everyone pretty well. Actually now that I think about it I knew Willy Clay who was a safety who played for Detroit and New Orleans in the 90s.

Boooooooooooooo! Yankees suck! :)

[mcs328]

I knew the wife of Thurgood Marshall. I didn't know who she was and just called her Mrs. Marshall until I saw her on TV when her husband died. I can't recall if I ever met Mr. Thurgood Marshall but I've met and talked a bit plenty of times with his wife.

I also have the dubious distinction of shaking the hand of Marion Barry for a photo op I didn't really want to do.

ain't he the "funny" one?

no offense to any gay/les members intended.

[zenbooty]

I've met and chatted with quite a number of musicians in my days.

There was a man named Juliano who owns a restaurant in San Francisco devoted to all raw vegetarian food preparation. The name of the restaurant was originally called "RAW," though its since changed names, and may no longer even exist. Anyway, he was a minor celeb for a brief period, came out with a raw "cookbook," got a spot on Good Morning America one day, etc. Anyway, I knew him through a mutual friend, and we've partied and hung out a few times.

I once walked into a bar I've been to regularly a few blocks off the 42nd St. theatre scene. I walked in, stood at the one vacant space, said hi to the bartender I knew there, ordered a drink and chatted her up for a bit (I had the big time hots for her, more on that below). Anyway, after talking for a bit, she let me know that the gentleman I was standing next to the whole time and who had just walked out was Ed Norton Jr. I never even noticed him.

And that girl? She's married to the bassist of a one-hit wonder band who had chart topper somewhere around '97 or '98. We nearly had an affair together (Her marriage started out as one of "convenience," cause she was about to be deported. I think she's since grown more attached to him), but I made the typical dork move of falling in love with the girl instead of just going ahead and getting me some, so of course she backed off. It was really too bad, too. She was a sex fiend and cute as Hell, and it was there for the taking if I wasn't such a hopeless romantic. Yeah, I still regret it, especially since I gave away my feelings and now she even won't return my emails. Bah, women :(. I won't name the band due to the sensitive nature of what happened and all, and the fact that I could very well bump into them again.


Oh, and I saw John Goodman and a couple buddies marching up the sidewalk at a Mardi Gras parade one evening years ago.

[gear02]

my only brush with fame was when Chris Berman (ESPN) walked into the dining hall at Brown. He's an alum and he came back to see us play Princeton or Penn (forgot) for the Ivy title and a pass to the tourney (we lost).

He may not look like it on tv, but he's HUGE. He's like 6'6 or something and big. Man...

oh wait, I remember another one. When I lived in Houston there were rumors that a football player lived two doors down. We doubted the rumor because we didn't live in a rich area (houses in the neighborhood were around 140-150k). But sure enough Houston Oiler safety Bo Orlando lived there. He was a starter, but not a star player. I think he got cut or traded by Houston and then it really didn't matter since the Oilers moved to Tennessee.

Supposedly there were celebrities at brown but I never saw any. Bill Cosby's daughter (or something) graduated from Brown and we gave him a honorary degree and apparently he now shows up at graduation as an alum, but I never saw him.

[whitak24]

i never have brushes with fame, even living in NYC (given that i wouldn't recognize most celebs in real life, it's not too surprising). so i was pretty pumped a couple weeks ago when i was down in the west village with some friends at magnolia (a little bakery). me and another girl had already paid and were standing outside, waiting for the rest of our group. suddenly, the girl whispers in my ear "alec baldwin is standing on the street corner!"

sure enough, there was mr. baldwin, with his VERY HOT asian girlfriend/wife. they walked within a foot of me and into the night.

i was just like w00t! i saw a celeb!

[AlpineJay]

I went to school with Jessica Biel, and she lived the next suite over from my ex-girlfriend's. She wound up transferring out I think. I used to see her around campus all the time. My roommate and she were in the same acting class so I occasionally got to talk to her.

[baggio248]

Geeez where do I start????

Jerry Rice
Joe Montana
and various other 49ers/Raiders.
Mark McGwire
Chris Mullin
Rod Higgins
Dana Stubblefield
John Madden
Vida Blue
Paul from The Diamond Center (For those of you who know who he is)
Ray Fosse
Probably more but those are the ones I remember. I have yet to see famous people down here in LA. All of the above were really nice. I played basketballw ith Chris Mullin and Rod Higgins and that was a blast. The rest i've seen around town and said hi to them and talked to them for a few. McGwire was creepy because he was at my gym and I never realzied how big he really was.

[oblongmelon]

gone with the wind!

[Blu]

Lou Rawls jumped in front of me in line at Jim's on South St. Jerk.

[zenbooty]

Wow, Obby, you had Reyes? I honestly had not heard of anyone surviving it. It scares the crap out of me because there has been a tick epidemic in the area where I grew up. I think about all the time I spent as a kid out playing care free in the woods and streams behind my house, and now if I go back there I have to tie off my pant legs around my ankles and check myself over when I get back inside. Buggers :(.

[DarkFury]

[Chris Rock] "Don't vote for smack, vote for crack!" [/Chris Rock]
I thought he said it the other way around...

Thats Miek Piazza you are thinking of. Jeter is a notorious poon hound. He has dated Mariah Carey, Miss Universe and every other hot woman in new york city.

[Burzhui]

yea i pretty much mingled with all the New Englad Patriots players, their chearleaders, Kid rock, Aerosmith, Donni walberg, Lisa Marie Preslie, snoop dog, etc etc at the New Englad Patriots victory party after super bowl 38 at the Intercontinental hotel in Austin Texas

[ufcrusher]

Grabbed from the last time this thread went around:

Hmmm - lets see:

Charles Barkley - belonged to the same club as we did, he saw me playing basketball and kind of laughed at my style, so he came out on the court and showed me how to shoot for about 20 minutes. Also took a jacuzzi with the man. (there was a jacuzzi in the club which everyone used)

Pete Rose - met him a few times, first couple times he was never willing to sign an autograph, then after his suspension for gambling he finally signed something

Mike Schmidt - met him twice, wouldn't sign anything either

Donald Trump - at a book signing and also just at his hotel

Jim Courier

Pete Sampras

Teddy Pendegrast - went to school with his son

Robert Seguso

Carling Basset- Seguso

Garry Maddux - went to school with his sons, his daughters went to school with my younger brother

Steve Spurrier - Enough said

Fritz Lang - Aggassi's coach

The Spinx brothers (boxing)- met them because friends with their nephew

Atienne Eigner (famous clothing designer, your wife or girlfriend will know who this is) - Friends with her grandson for a while...if memory serves she was at his house one time when I was there.

Met the majority of the Phillies multiple times, multiple years.

Was taught to play better baseball by a Reds player...cant remember his name now. It was a day of one on one instruction.

Bunch of local tv celebs

I know there are more but I cant think of them now.

[ShawnLee]

I went to JR high with Jessica Alba http://www.dancingmonica.com/imagefile/jessicaa_012.jpgI like. She lived in Claremont?

I've had few brushes with fame. I met Steve Urkel when I was in elementary school. I was at my gym and worked out at the bench next to Mark McGwire but then stopped after one set because I felt like a wuss. I've seen various people at restaurants or whatever but nothing major. I think I ran into a Korean celebrity when I was in Korea, but I doubt anyone cares. That's about all I can think of right now.

[Paymaster]

I was an extra in Heart and Souls (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107091/) though I ended up on the cutting room floor. My car (stock 1966 Dodge Charger) still made it into one scene.

[creampuff]

john lithgow, who likes to walk his dogs on campus
luc robitaille (la kings), the father of one of my former students
alfonso ribiero (carlton from fresh prince)
jaleel white -- urkel

then only person i had a conversation with is luc robitaille. but that was cuz his son was in my class.
john lithgow always greets people when he walks his dogs.

[brainsmile]

yada yada yada...
but when do you get to have Mel?

[MrGreg]

I've met the "biggest" celeb...

I was on a flight with Ron Jeremy. Talked to him for a little while. He was reading material for some upcoming gig with MTV. Got his autograph and bought him a drink. He's a very nice guy, and stopped to take pictures with everybody that wanted one after we landed.

[ray]

I went to high school with Slaus.

[ShawnLee]

Hey, Canta's Jeopardy thread reminded me that I got tickets to the Finals of College Jeopardy last year (or was it before? It was when Trebek first shaved his 'stache).

Alex Trebek had a QA session and people were asking him retarded questions. I think the only decent question I heard was if he'd consider having Sean Connery or Will Ferrell on Celebrity Jeopardy. So my friend and I stood up and decided to ask the most retarded question ever, and so we asked, "If you could be an animal, what animal would you be?" He said he'd be an eagle so that he could fly away from there. There were no more questions after that.

[Devhux]

I guess for me, meeting the Gretzky's (minus Wayne) was the closest I've been.

[Yossarian]

i know punkerbob.....

[ray]

Seriously now:

Played basketball with Doug Flutie
Met Amy Lee and Ben Moody of Evanescence and got their autographs
Met Amanda Bynes, but she wouldn't give me her digits nor her john hancock
Spoke with Al Roker and tried to get him to give my friends some airtime on the Today Show to sing Xmas carols on December 23, 1998
David Dinkins
Spike Lee
Met handful of Baseball players and got their autographs. Most notable were Ozzie Smith and Tommy John
Went to high school with James Johnson and SI Newhouse, both featured in HBO documentary "Born Rich"

Yes...I had it-too much aspirin when I had chicken pox a few months prior..followed by a bout with menigitis...it started with unbelieveable headaches-to the point where i was screaming in pain...my mother took me to the ER and I went into a coma in the Admitting office, in which I was completely out of it for 3 days. The recovery was very long-I had to miss alot of school (which I made up at home.)and aqquired a pretty bad speech problem afterwards..(now fine). There was a 12 year old girl in my area named Missy McGavin who died of Reyes the week before I actually was diagnosed. The entire community held prayer sessions to see if that would help me recover-I believe it did. I can never donate blood-and all my children were tested for learning disabilities because of it...thankfully-there were no carry over side effects to them.

Anyhoo, besides this one at Walmart (http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49348&highlight=elvis)
In 1994, I met Ozzie Smith. My ex husband and I were at an event at Six Flags for employees of AB and he was there with his family and a couple big guys. They were eating at the table next to us. We sat and talked to him, the big guys shooed away a couple girls trying for autographs so we didn't ask. Was a really nice guy :)

Went to a 38 special concert in ... early 90's and met the singer. He signed a drum stick for me. It was in a small club 'mississippi nights' on The Landing in STL and I had a pretty good spot right in front of the stage and he sung the first verse of 'Fantasy Girl' holding my hand :D

I can't think of anything else right now.

Obby, would have loved to have met Phil Collins! Well, I still would... but that is besides the point. Make a deal, If I ever meet Mel, I will send him your way -- just because you are so awsome!

Reyes is the don't give aspirin to chidren disease. I was originally thinking of that one that the ticks carry. What the Hell was its name? Its deadly and there is no cure.

Oh, Lyme disease, that's what I was thinking of! Ah well, either way its good to see you've recovered.

I met Jean Claude Vandam when I was an extra for SF music video.

Oh yeah, I forgot that I met Dave Brown (NFL Player) and his family on a dare. He lived across the street from my high school classmate and she dared me to walk over to his house, knock on his door and introduce myself. We ended up having a 5 minute conversation. It was perfect timing though because the day my friend dared me was Halloween so it wasn't as unexpecting for someone to be knocking on his door =D

nightline
ted koppel.........darrell hammond
steve forbes.......steve forbes
bob dole............norm macdonald
pat buchanan....david koechner

ted koppel voiceover: first, there was the bestseller "primary colors".. and now, another book about presidential politics has been written. this time it is a "fictional" account of the 1996 republican primary. the book is titled "election colors", and has once again been written by an anonymous author. tonight, we take a look at this new bestselling book.

[ blend to "nightline" opening ]

announcer: this is "nightline". reporting live from washington, ted koppel.

ted koppel: with us tonight to talk about this new bestseller are three of the major candidates who were involved in the 1996 republican primary. senator bob dole, pat buchanan, and magazine publisher steve forbes. mr. forbes, let's start with you.

steve forbes: [ giddy ] hi, ted!

ted koppel: mr. forbes, i assume you've read this so-called "fictional" account of the repubican primary?

steve forbes: yes, i have, ted.

ted koppel: then, i assume you're familiar with this passage: [ text appears on screen ] "millionaire teve torbes was a maverick candidate who had washington insiders running scared. he also had an undeniable animal magnetism that drove the ladies crazy. it was clear teve torbes had it goin' on." since this portrays you in such a positive light, mr. forbes, many people have suggested that you are the author of the book.

steve forbes: [ smiling ] well, ted, i'm flattered by your suggestion. but i didn't write the book.

ted koppel: mr. forbes, clearly the character named "teve torbes" represents you.

steve forbes: well, that's one way to interpret it. i mean, the description of the character fits my profile as a verile, charismatic leader of men. but, then again, my name isn't "teve torbes" - it's steve forbes.. which is different! maybe it represents somebody named "leve norbes".

ted koppel: oh, come on! come on! the character obviously is you! just like "at uchanan" is supposed pat buchanan, "dob bole" is bob dole, and lamar alexander is represented by "lamar alexander #2".

steve forbes: well, it seems like the author has done a very good job of disguising those names! ted, there is one passage i find particularly interesting, if i may?

ted koppel: well.. certainly.

steve forbes: it's on page 42. the anonymous author writes on page 42: [ text appears on screen ] "the ladies loved teve torbes' brilliant tax plan. that and the fact that he had a musky victor mature-like scent. no. teve torbes was definitely not a geek with a crooked smile. he was a babe magnet. did i mention how much the ladies love me, i mean him?"

ted koppel: mr. forbes, did you write this book?

steve forbes: no.

ted koppel: senator dole, any comments?

bob dole: steve forbes. steve forbes wrote the book. i recognize his awkaward prose anywhere.

ted koppel: senator, i take you've read the book?

bob dole: ah, bob dole's read the book. let me tell you something - the instruction manual to bob dole's vcr is more exciting, ha ha ha!

ted koppel: senator, you certainly weren't treated very well by the author. on page 142, he writes: "i don't think grenator dole is handling the pressure very well." [ confused ] "grenator"? i don't know why the author felt he had to disguise the word "senator".. anyway, he goes on to say: "today, dob bole leaned over to me, and said, 'if family values means stealing the taxpayers' money and sniffing model glue, i'm way into family values!'"

bob dole: that's a lie! bob dole would never say anything like that! steve forbes, you wrote this book, and you know it!

[ forbes shakes his head no ]

ted koppel: the senator has a point, mr. forbes. i mean, for god's sake, on the dedication page, it says: "to my lovely wife, telen torbes, and my beautiful daughters tatherine, tabina, taberta, taura and telizabeth.

steve forbes: i wonder who those people are?

ted koppel: well, at this point, i'd like to bring gop candidate pat buchanan into the discussion.

pat buchanan: hello, ted. i just hope we can get to the bottom of these malicious lies.

ted koppel: mr. buchanan, the author is obviously referring to you when he says on page 245: "and then, i saw at buchanan kick his nicaraguan gardener and say, 'teve torbes, i enjoy your musky victor mature-like scent.'"

pat buchanan: ted, that was just a lie. mostly.

steve forbes: read on, ted!

ted koppel: alright. on page 167, the author continues: "i was on ched choppel's show 'pightline', when, during a commercial break, ched confessed to me that he often engages in autoerotic asphyxiation." now, that was just unnecessary. and then it goes on to say: "it was on ched's show that at buchanan and teve torbes first agreed that dob bole should drop out. at said, 'teve, what about dob?' then dob motioned for at to come towards teve.." [ text appears on screen ] .."teve torbes, at, dob bole, uchanan, ucotos, ucomos, ucant, teve, at, bole, dat, boba fet, toni kukoc, bee-bo-bo, lamar alexander #2." gentlemen, reactions?

steve forbes: that's wonderful writing!

bob dole: ah, i've just got one thing to say to you, teve torbes - tuck off!

ted koppel: and that's all we have time for. thank you, gentlemen, for joining me. from all of us at abc news, this has been ched toppel in washington, and good night.

I went to high school with Timbaland. He was always making beatbox sounds in the hallway.
Yesterday, while on my way to my parents house, I cut through the neighborhood where one of the guy from Clipse (http://www.vaclipse.com/) used to live. I saw a nice silver porsche parked in front of his parents house. I'm assuming it was him. He was probably at his parents house visiting for fathers day.

We had another thread on this where I detailed quite a few people I have met. You can find my post here. (http://www.gotapex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39074&page=2&pp=40)

I did get to meet Ronald Reagan when I was working on a project for the Alzheimer's Foundation, but when I met him he was in very bad shape. He had two "handlers" with him at all times in addition to Secret Service agents.

Did you meet Steve Forbes when he visited our highschool?

Nah. I met the entire Italian World Cup Soccer Team though...and I have a handful of autographs. Even got a picture with their coach.

Timbo is the creator of some of the sickest, catchiest rap beats ever. Nearly every major crossover rap/pop star has used his stuff. Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliot, etc.
