Re: Celeb sightings by BP net members?
I met Whoopi Goldburg in Rockport, Ma buying NE Clam Chowder.
I cooked dinner for Julie Andrews two summers ago. I filled in for a friend at a catering event and I got to personally cook her food. That was fun.
Faye Dunaway held me when I was a baby....at least thats what my mother said.

Spend as much time as I have in war zones, and you get to glad hand a lot of celebs. My personal highlights are:
1) Briefed Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld at CENTCOM prior to OEF
2) Briefed President Bush prior to OIF
3) Worked for Gen. Tommy Franks for 4 years
4) Sang "Mustang Sally" with Kid Rock in Afghanistan
Re: Celeb sightings by BP net members?
It didn`t happen to me, but an acquaintance was working at a little hole in the wall dive on Hi Way 2 in Alberta and one night Donnie Osmond came in and ordered a muffin!!!
Donnie found the muffin to be too dry and he left it on the table, but with a nice perfect bite taken out of it.
Crazed Osmondaloonie snagged said muffin, had it shellaced, and built a shrine for it.
Another time he got an order that Billy Idol was in da house... and was being all shades of arrogant and drunken nasty. Uhm, yeah... so he like did *stuff* to Mr Punk Rock`s food.
Probably helps for the character development if I mention that the person in question actually was a die-hard punk, so having a pop star... you know... acting all bad and punk did not help. :)
Not my sightings, but I liked them.

I live in L.A. and have met and seen too many to list.

Re: Celeb sightings by BP net members?
I forgot that a little over a year ago I was in Las Vegas staying at the MGM Grand. I went downstairs into the casino at about 3 or 4 in the morning. I walked passed who I am 99% sure was Justin Timberlake dressed like a 1960's pimp with bad taste. He had on a fur coat and a fur Stetson style Hat. He had a girl on each arm and two humongous bodyguards walking about 10 paces behind him.They got on the set of elevators that I just came out of. I was staying one floor below the penthouse. Being from Detroit I wasn't able to refrain from laughing out loud at this guy. I don't get out much.
Re: Celeb sightings by BP net members?

Re: Celeb sightings by BP net members?
I met Joe Montana(49ers Football) in California a long time ago. It was Malibu Grand prix or something rather. I talked to his kids as well.. They were pretty nice.
I met Carrie Underwood..but this was at her concert. LOL. She was so cute.
I've actually met a lot of celebrities but it was because they were at various conventions and such.
I've met Stacey(fergie now) with her previous bandmates at a concert on accident. I was given tickets to the show from an opening group called PYT and I was supposed to meet them. I was waiting by the door and Wild Orchid came out. First I saw Shannon, than Stacey(fergie) and than Renee. It was really cool. I don't really like calling Stacey Fergie..It's really weird. She's super nice though. I actually talked to them for about a half hour.
If I saw a celeb out shopping or something I probably wouldn't stop them. I'd be too worried about disturbing them.
Most of the celebs I've met were from the Xena show..
Lucy Lawless, Renee O'Connor, Hudson Leick(Callisto), Kevin Smith(Ares.RIP), Ryan Gosling, etc,etc.
Re: Celeb sightings by BP net members?
Bo Derek and ....Hugh Jackman :love:
Re: Celeb sightings by BP net members?
I met Dennis Rodman when I lived and worked in TX.
Re: Celeb sightings by BP net members?
I'm not really the type that gets all crazy when I see a celeb so none of my moments are really memorable. Most recent though was Deebo from the movie Friday or Zeus for you wrestling fans. We shared a flight from D/FW to LAX. Nice guy. I went to school and played football with Kenny Thomas(NBA) not sure if he's still playing. I played football against Brian Young(NFL) I think he still plays for New Orleans. He hits very hard! I met Tony Tolbert(NFL) when he was in his prime. There's a few others but that's what comes to mind.
