Famous Friends

FOSHI...
I actually DO know Israel. He was my neighbor til last Dec. I talk to him as often as possible- even had coffee w/him last night! ~ My kids look up to and totally adore him! Prob bc he's such an open-minded and caring person. He treats them with about as much respect as he does an adult. But he's also into some of the same interesting things my kids tend to enjoy. ~ So, yeah... he's prob one of the most wonderful people I'll ever meet in this lifetime!

And as far a porn stars.... look up Jolene Hexx... she was one of my neighbors as well. She's also a stripper out here. If I read correctly she was also on the cover of/ or inside Penthouse - Apr09 ((???)) Unfortunately, she's not the kind of person I would choose to have around myself and my family, after displaying some VERY negative behavior around us. :snake:

I tried looking at the Ancestry site but you have to pay even for the "free trial." Screw that. I guess it will just be a big unknown.

If you go to The Church of Latter Day Saints official website, you can actually get it done for free. Plus, the Mormon church has gotten a big, positive reputation for their work in geneology! I know MANY who've gotten their geneology done through them. I plan to do it, too- Just gonna wait til next yr bc I got my hands full with moving cross country. Good luck! :sunny:

Ted Nugent goes hunting every yr up in MI, and stops in regularly to eat at the 50's style diner my cousin owns.... My 2 older kids are "allegedly" related to Abraham Lincoln via their bio-dad's family. Oddly, I named my oldest son Abe! ... My 1/2 sisters discovered they are related to Jesse James (outlaw).... One of my cousin's went to an AA meeting quite a few ys back and got to meet Robin Williams. ... Spent time in Dec 2010 with Chad Calek and his "Ghost Prophecies" team/cast. All of them are incredibly nice! Throw Ryan Buell from "Paranormal State" in there, and your night is ruined for sure! He's the biggest pompus-rump I've EVER encountered! However, if yo've heard of the band "Index Case", Joe Ansley from the band is also part of the cast/team for AGH Nation- which does "Ghost Prophecies". He is so incredibly sweet and down to earth! ... Have a few other minor acquintances with people who work in the Paranormal Investigation field, too. All good people. :juggle:

I don't know anyone famous... My dad knows, and has done work for FSU football's former coach Bobby Bowden's daughter, Ginger Madden.

She's a lawyer I believe in Okaloosa county... I kinda like that my dad knows her, and has done work for her, and probably will continue to, since I'm an FSU fan :D

Not sure if any of you have heard of Babicz guitars (most badass acoustic you can ever play), I know the creator of the company Jeff Babicz. I grew up right across the street from him and was best friends with his son. I learned how to play guitar on the prototype he made that started his whole company. He taught me how to play the blues and gave me much inspiration to build my own guitars. I'm still in touch with him and his son.

Not exactly famous again, but certainly interesting:

My grandfather's (dad's side) brother authored the paper that caused the Surgeon General to write up the warning on cigarette packages in the US.

I've met Uncle Ted on a couple occasions and even got to jam with him before a concert in Montana. Incredibly nice guy. You've just gotta know how to speak "Nuge".

I went to school and graduated with 2 guys one is Bob Zilla off of Damage Plan/Hell Yeah and Raymond Herrera from Fear Factory, and back in the day used to hang out with guys from G&R and Ratt Motley Crue among others that were starting out...nothing like living in L.A. during the 80s and the Sunset strips glory days...IF anyone here is from that time...Remember Gazzaris The Rainbow and The Whiskey...now that was fun

This isn't a friend, but my cousin just told me that Ed Gein was our great uncle. :O That explains a lot! :D

Shia is seriously your cousin?? :O I had the biggest celebrity-crush on him a while back. :oops:



As for me, I was good friends with Craig Traylor who played Stevie (the one in the wheelchair) in Malcolm in the Middle when he was younger. Funny thing was I was friends with him for over one year before someone else pointed out to me that he's an actor and played Stevie. :rolleyes: It blew my mind! He's a great guy but I've lost touch with him in the last year or so.

LOL...Yeah, some of us are old enough to know who Red Skelton is. Or was.

I don't personally know any famous people, but I have seen David Spade at a Nascar race a few years back. I saw Johnny Depp in Crown Point, Indiana when he was filming for "Public Enemies". Also met Brian Barczyk last Saturday.

Jeremy Spencer (the drummer for Five Finger Death Punch), while not a "friend", I've met him a couple of times (he is from Boonville,IN as well), and his nephew lives on the next street over. We camp out in the back yard when the nephew is practicing with his garage band (look for him to hit it big as well, they ROCK as much as FFDP!):partyon:

I didn't know her, but a big model, Daria Werbowy went to my high school. That's pretty much it.

Oh, my Dad personally knows Dr. HO! He's as funny in real life!:P

I didn't know I was related to him until about a year ago, but I have been a fan of his for several years before that.

I met Brad Pitt, seeing as we are from the same town, and I got my picture taken with R. Lee Ermey from Full metal jacket. He even choked me for pictures!

I am friends with Chad Szeliga, the drummer for Breaking Benajamin. I also know Ben as well, but would go so far as saying friends.

I have met MANY celebs through the years. Being a musician for a while, I have done shows with Brett Michaels, Saliva, Breaking Benjamin, Hinder, Rev Theory, LA Guns, and a few others.

I also have met a few sports figures. I am a DIE HARD Saints fan, and the night before the 2006 draft, I was hanging out with Jahri Evans. The next day, the Saints drafted him in the third round! He is now considered the best Offensive Lineman in the NFL. I'vemet Drew Brees, Marques Colston, both from the Saints. I have also met Emmitt Smith, Ali, George Gervin, and a few others.

And lastly, back in the early and mid 70's, when I lived in San Antonio, my parents were friends with a few of the wrestlers from down that way such as Ivan Putski, Junkyard Dog, the Von Erics and a few others.

TO add another thing, not this past mothers day, but the one before, I gave my wife a mothers day gift I'll NEVER be able to top. Our local DJ up here is great friends with the band Flyleaf. They were doing a show in Philly, so for her gift, I arranged for her to get to the club hours before hand, hang with the entire band for about 4 hours before the show, stood ONSTAGE, off to the side, for the entire show, and then go back to their dressing room with them until they were ready to leave. She even was the 1st person, outside the band and crew and such, to view their latest video at the time.

She remained star struck the entire time! I didn't get to go because of work, but she texted me the whole time telling me about them and sending pics. She stands 5'2" and all she kept saying was how Lacey was so short!

I also used to work in Century City, Ca and dealt with many celebrities especially those signed with Sony/CBS records from Ozzy to Lemmy to Jimmy Johnson(Cowboys ex Coach)and my best one was Charlton Heston...again this is people i met with more then once but dont consider them friends, living in L.A. leaves you open to so many chances of meeting famous people from sports movies tv and music. Best looking females i met were Salma Hayek Patsy Kensit Julia Roberts and Jodie Foster...all these were cool but then you had your primadonnas that didnt mean crap but thought they were the shiznit like Brian Grazer Robert Urich and James woods...all nothing but hasbeens or egomaniacs.

1) i went to elementary/middle school with francia almendarez and her sisters (italia and irlanda). their dad was a host of a spanish radio show.. and francia was in "bring it on".. and she is currently a main character in "the secret life of the american teenager"

2) i live down the street from the voice actor of "Maurice LaMarche". he was the voice actor for the Brain :D
