Have any stories about running into/seeing/meeting celebrities in random places? And I'm not talking concerts folks. Unless you met them & how were they? Were they assh0les?
I've only ran into two "famous people."
Mike Jones & his "gang" sat right next to my family and I at the food court in La Guardia while we were in N.Y. Seemed kind of nice. I just asked for a picture with him and he obliged.
While I was in Miami while walking around a shopping area Shakira came out of a store with a bunch of security who escorted her to the 'burb.
I guess I've just been unlucky with spotting celebrities while on vaca.
Anyone care to share? :shy:

Dan Majerle and Joe Klein in Aggieville.
Jerry Seeman - former NFL referee in motel in New Mexico
Some dude that worked in the Patriots front office and had a Super Bowl ring that was pretty sweet lookin'.

I was at this golf course and every player on the PGA tour walked by where I was sitting, all in one day. I know, weird. I did play golf in the group directly behind Alice Cooper and his gang one time. I had a beer with Red Green back in the early 80's, before I knew who he was. I channeled the ghost of Adolf Hitler once.

Oh yeah? Well I went hunting with Dick Cheney!

I saw Howie Mandel in LA. I didn't approach him, because, well, it's only Howie Mandel.

Jeb Bush held a door open for me at a movie theater. I said, "HAPPY NEW YEAR, GOVERNOR!" I think he kind of rolled his eyes at me. I'm not mad at him, though. He held the door for me!
(It was the outer door. I don't know what movie he saw.)

Funny you say King and hate to one up you. Handsome Harley Race is my gem. He became known as the "King" later in his career but will always be Handsome to me. Saw him in a bar/restaurant (shocker) and went up to get his autograph. He was with a wife/gf and he glared at me like he wanted to pal drive my head into the table. He did end up giving me his autograph though but I often think that would have made for a good story if he actually did put a sleeper hold or something. :love: (ftp://:love:)

No way, The King is Jerry Lawler, PERIOD. And a story to go with it so that you know who is who around here where it comes to celebs. Both you and SD need to listen up.
Memphis, Tenn. Jerry is being introduced and walking up to the ring when two of my buds jump the rope and take him on. That's right, one had him in a head lock while the other was pounding his guts (faking it just like they do of course), enter security from everydamnwhere and right out the f'n door we go. Had people booing, throwing stuff at us, it was thing of beauty. So, we get outside and this drunk spouts something to one of the guys, words are exchanged, but he walks off to his car and so do we. As we are sitting in the car (van) we see this tard bring a baseball bat out of his trunk, walk over to a car just down from us and start beating the crap out of it. We laugh and laugh until we realize he intended that for us. Uh huh buddy, now it's really on! He gets beaten to a pulp and one of my buds get a knife in the gut, not too bad, but off to hospital we go.

Dumb story imo. Doc Sadler would have ripped that guys head off and s#!t down his neck-hole because that's what Doc does to chumps like that guy and yourself.
I mean, you don't even want to know what Doc would have done to me if he'd caught me filming this. Should be a MonsterQuest episode imo.

Wrong. Thanksgiving Dinner at the Brett residence featured his wife accidently sitting on his hand and him whining/bitching about it for the rest of the evening causing the large group of attendees (some barely connected to family) to be uncomfortable and pissed.
-
George Brett, you want to talk George Brett huh, okay, I'm working on the turf crew at Prairie Dunes and I'm waiting on he and his crew to tee off, but GB is intent on explaining to his friends the proper technic for giving/getting head, right down to how tight she should hold it in her hands, like, you know, thats how tight you want to hold on to the golf club. Kind of a weird moment. See, I been around. Now, back to RED GREEN !!!
-
I had almost forgotten that I sat next to Frank Hernandez' cousin on a flight down to San Antonio in approx 1993. She was a looker.
-
Richard Christy from the howard stern show is the only "celeb" I know.

I was boozing in malibu in may and saw Pamela Anderson walk out of a movie theater. Her best days were clearly 10 years behind her. 30 minutes later I saw McGuyver at a mexican restaurant. Later on in the night I met an old guy who owns a studio lighting company. He was telling me about going on tour with Ted Nugent in the 70's. Lets just say Nugent loved the nose candy.....

Saw Cedric the Entertainer at a Padres game.

Well, as of right now...you are in last place. Unless you want to tell us something.
And does anyone have a Bill Murray sighting in manhattan? Or maybe someone actually talked to will ferrell when he was here.

Those wouldn't even be good ones. Needs to be obscure for the maximum points of board cred allowable. Starting with Bill Murray would have a value of only 15 while starting with someone like, say, Roz from Cheers would have a starting value of 17. I mean, the story is going to have to be good but your chances are better of pulling off a high number. Just imo bros.

Danny Glover at the Beverly Hills Hotel during the same time. (Was there for a cousin's wedding)
-
I've met a bunch of people on purpose, which I realize isn't the thread, but I'll also include them with little blurbs here.
-Lewis Black, once here and once in Boston.
-talked briefly to Will Ferrell at Kites', and talked to Nick Swardson in the bathroom. Both were uneventful except that Ferrell was wearing a baby blue knit cap.
-Drove Mo Rocca to Little Apple Brewery, then five years later jmlynch1 and I had a drunken conversation with him over the phone at 6 in the morning.
-With Tracy Morgan: got pulled over/heard all about his DUI the night before in Hollywood/saw him cry/watched him dance with his shirt off in Joe's Tap Room/saw him smoke a blunt with Thomas Clayton/I think he did ecstasy that night/watched him grope every girl in the greater Manhattan area while he simultaneously reiterated "family first" to me/unscrewed his visine bottle because "his hands were just too slippery"
-Met that Dave Pelzer guy, the guy who wrote A Child Called It. He was...semi-annoying with all his Ahnold impressions.
-Ben Kweller
-Weezer except Rivers Cuomo
-Death Cab for Cutie
-Ben Folds a bunch of times
-Went on a cruise with/played with Guster.
-Got an individual photo with Barenaked Ladies on the same cruise ship (everybody on the cruise did. Trust me, I didn't want to).
-Randomly bumped into comedian/actor Harlan Williams at karaoke. He's the kindergarden teacher in Half-Baked who goes to jail. "Naughty...jungle of love!...mark of the beast! SIX SIX SIX!!!!!!"
-MET THE REV! AL SHARPTON! Me and jmlynch1 got our picture taken with him while he was wearing a purple tie. :ksu:
-When I was in Boston I was posing for a group photo with some peeps and this jackass walked right in the middle of it as we took the picture. It turned out to be Jim Bruer.
-Saw Ellen Cleghorne (black chick from mid-90s SNL. You know, she played the Chocolate Pudding in the original Lunchlady Land skit) on 5th Ave. in New York.
-When I lived in Austin I went to a show during SXSW which actually also turned out to be a party for the movie Knocked Up, which was about to open. Randomly met/befriended Paul Rudd. Started talking to him about Wet Hot American Summer, how it's the greatest movie ever, then he introduced me to the director David Wain. Said something about how now I just have to meet someone from Freaks and Geeks, at which point Rudd was like, "Well Martin Starr is right over there." So then I hung with Martin Starr, who played Bill Haverchuck for a while until the bar closed...and then Paul Rudd liked us enough that he whisked us away in one of his cars to an afterparty in his penthouse of the 4 Seasons hotel in Austin, where he bought a billion beers and vodkas from room service and we partied until 4 am. Oh, and there was also some other chubby, little-known actor there with us. What was his name, again? Oh yeah, Jonah Hill. It was super random and WAY TIGHT.
-That Christian Finnegan guy from VH1 Best Week Ever. Some fugly chicks were all over him.
And all those are good, and I think there are a few others I'm forgetting, but here are the two that will clinch it in absolute FTW fashion:
-I got my picture taken with Mr. Cooper. He was wearing an orange leather jacket and is WAAAY TALL.
-Weird Al outside of McCain.
-
Used to work at Kelly's in Westport and here are a few people that came through there that I spoke with:
-BMac
-Greinke & Gathright
-Tony G
-The Big Hurt (kinda weird, but he came in every time the soc were in town)
-Larry Eustachy
-Jared from subway (had body guards with him :lol:)
Also saw Brad Pitt in Sedalia on the way to the Ozarks one time.
-
I heard Jared from Subway is a POS. Can anyone confirm?
-
-Larry Eustachy
Rode in a Westin Crown Center elevator with Larry and family during the 2000 big 12 tourny (Fizer!) This was immediately after checking in and being informed by the front desk dude that K-State had just hired a new coach. ;)
-

He actually was kind of a prick. Not to me because I wasn't asking for his autograph or a picture, but he was turning people down left and right and almost laughing when they'd ask.
-
Maybe because it's effing ridic that anyone would want that POS's autograph. He also brought out the game ball at the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. Anyone remember that?
-
When I was (a lot) younger I went to a basketball camp that Michael Jordan made an appearance at. He actually played in an exhibition game against the high school kids that were there. (Staff vs High School age team) He dunked on some awkward white kid that looked similar to Jason Bennett.
Good times.

Oh yeah I bumped into Derrick Lowe in the Plaza a week before he pitched his first no-hitter...against the Devil Rays...which really counts as about a three-hitter in regular baseball.
-
In '98 David Chappelle was selling some miracle cleaner door to door and he gave me and my former roommates his best sales pitch for about 30 minutes (which consisted of making fun of white guys). He had us rolling. Of course I had no idea who he was at the time. The only reason I realized later who he was is because he mentioned he was going door to door for material and that he was going to be on the HBO Comedy Half-Hour.

Patrick Stewart and wife sat at a table right next to me at the Oyster House at Grand Central Station in NYC. The tables were like 16" apart, so when he was getting to his seat, his ass rubbed on my elbow. He drank 4 glassed of wine in about 25 minutes and was obviously lit by the time we left, so I gave him the "live long and prosper" sign and he giggled. Seemed cool when drunk.
Tommy "Hit Man" Hearns called my house to talk to my girlfriend (now wife), I'm like "WTF?"
Johnnie Cochran in line at the SD airport. Wife asked if O.J. did it, he just smiled. Pretty short.

Lived in Hollywood for a while, so really too numerous to list. You'd randomly see people all the time.
Most random outside of my LA time was meeting Gary Payton and Kendall Gill in a Spencers (or something like that) in the Galleria in Houston. Random because I don't even know WTF I was doing there, much less WTF they were doing there. :confused:
