Brushes with Fame

Bruce Campbell called my best friend a rat bastard.

AWESOME

some of the more surreal moments include...

-smoking up with cypress hill night after night
-meeting mr. t when he was really sick
-watching tv with carson daly
-hanging out in snl dressing rooms during the show

oh! once i walked out of a girlfriends apartment in the morning. noticed that there were about 100 people staring at me from across the street. confused, half asleep, robert fucking deniro days good morning to me and apologizes for me walking into the scene he was trying to shoot.

yeah, i hear you...although i have met bill cosby when he came around here

Ive met a bunch of musicians

Jimbo Wallace from Reverend Horton Heat in Philly

for me:
Camerion Diaz, they were shooting Charlie's Angels right in front of my friend's house, so obviously we sped over there right away.

Tommy Lee, I was at a taping of a late night talk show for VH1, it really sucked BTW, and they made my boyfriend get up so Tommy Lee could sit in his place, which was right next to me.

Stryker, A KROQ radio DJ and he was the host of I'm With The Band on VH1. I did some radio stuff with him.

A.J. Popoff from Lit.

I was in American Beauty and Kevin Spacey told all of us to have a nice Christmas, does that count?

That lucky rat bastard.

From Lesa's previous thread...Jan 12, 2003 06:47 AM

I met Jonathan Frakes at a UK screening of Star Trek Generations, but neither of us had pen or paper, so no autograph, but I did get to shake hands with Commander Riker.
When I was younger (about 6-7), a friend of my mother used to be a model (mainly catalogue work) and at one of her shoots, I got a cuddle from Sara Stockbridge and had the biggest crush on her ever since.
I met Peter David at a book signing a few years ago, and he signed two of my books. One to me, the other to my pen name wishing me luck with my writing career. Why they didn't make New Frontier the new Star Trek series rather than Enterprise is beyond me...

Since then...

I haven't met any famous people, although I have been in an online chatroom with Jenna Jameson (Was on her site, so it was her, not some pasty-faced 14 yr old gimp) and I have a friend that is friends with Rachel from the Fantasy X channel. Might even get to meet her oneday

Spike

Bruce Campbell
Meg Lee Chin
Switchblade Symphony
The Tubes

At my convocation last June Lorne Michaels received an honourary doctorate presented to him by Dan Ackroyd (sp?). When I went up to get my diploma/degree/whatever I shook Ackroyd's hand and started chatting a bit with him because I'd just seen "The House of Mirth" the night previous. I was eventually ushered off the stage by the president of the university.

I've met the Pat Metheny Group: Steve Rodby's an asshole. At the same venue, Massey Hall, I met Ben Harper, who's a really short guy.

And whenever I'm walking aimlessly in Toronto, I see Moe Berg.

dinner with Michael Keaton

(both on Batman)

drinks & general natter over two days with Pierce Brosnan (World is not Enough/Bond)

lots of drinks with Keith Flint & Ewan McGregor (world superbikes 1998) and that Zoe Ball was hanging about too...

Likewise Peter Weller/Robocop.

dude, you met the shizit?!!!!

i wish i coulda at least seen them live before they split up... i love those fuckers

yeay... famous people. Lol... uhh does anyone else get stupified around celebrities? I never know what to say... I always feel awful taking pictures, so usually I don't, but then I regret having no proof later when everyone is like "you did not meet *fill in the blank.*

... okay, so the only celebrities i've really "met" in person are... is... uh... Molly Shannon (this pic was taken the other night.)

I was in the bathroom at the same time as Katie Holmes at a critics screening of teaching mrs. tingle... but i didn't realize that i had been in there at the same time until i had went upstairs.

Uhhmmm...

and then there are the people i've been within 60 feet of in real life, but didn't actually talk to: Julia Roberts, John C. Riely, Vince Vauhgn, John Cusack, Jen Love Hewitt, Seth Green, Billy Crystal, etc...

yea that's about it.

wow, molly shannon looks like my 4th grade teacher in that picture

i never brush with fame, i usually gouge it deeply, in the eyes if i can, so it can't pick me out of a line-up....
