Ooohhh! This is a fun topic! I personally haven't met any celebrities. Living in East bumf**ck nobody really wants to come out here... unless they're hiding! But Steven Tyler has a house not too far from here and his family is local as well. His sister teaches in the next town over and her daughter was good friends with my best friend. For my friends 10th birthday he was in town and came to her house to sing Happy Birthday! She has pictures and stuff and he stayed for cake. His neice ended up being a real fruit cake and moved to some hippie commune out west.

Also, the company I work for has done work on Whoppie Goldberg and Bill Cosby's house. Bill Cosby's house, well it's more like a compound, has very strict rules. No cameras, no cell phones, everyone gets checked out ny security before entering. As far as Whoopie... well let's just say sadly our guys met her and didn't make the best impression. She also has an amazing compound with several houses and barns. Gorgeous area. Supposedly she likes coming up here because she can go to the grocery store and not be mauled.

That's my excitement! Pretty lame considering I've never met them! But still a fun topic!

I forgot til now that Brittany Murphy went to my middle school but she is a few yrs old than me. Apparently she comes back to town sometimes and the "cool" kids hang out w/ her. Whatever.

Also Susan Sarandon went to my HS and lived not far from the house I grew up in.

Also can't forget Jon Bon Jovi!! He grew up only 2 towns over from me and Bruce is from now far from where I grew up. Although I hate him. But Bon Jovi!!! And old friend of mine's bf is cousins with him. His real last name is like Bongiovi.

OMG to the girl who met JTT!! When I was in my early teens I thought I was going to marry him! I had posters of him all over my bedroom wall and I had all of his magizines. I really wanted to meet him. I even wrote to Sally (TV show host) so I can meet him lmao!! I think about those days now and I laugh. Good times haha.

Famous people I have met:
Michelle Kwan (figure skater). I met her twice actually. She is really nice!
NeedToBreathe (Christian rock group)
The Backstreet Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been a fan of them since 1997! I love those guys!

Okay... she's not REALLY famous.... but still. Here's the story.

While I was in High School, the chapel on the base decided to play the animated film "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079474/ There were about 15 of us in the room watching this movie -- which while cheesy was still pretty good. It was way before the live action Chronicles that are new. This movie was done in like 1978, and this was 1985 when we were watching it.

The whole movie all but one of us in that room were sitting there saying about Lucy "I know that voice. Who is that?" and calling out names and rejecting them. It was driving everyone in that room nuts. The other person was not saying a word. Just sitting there very quietly. So, while we normally wouldn't have watched the credits, now we had to because everyone KNEW we knew that voice and could not place it.

And as the credits rolled, we all turned and STARED at the one who had been quiet the whole night, as we figured out why she had not said a word while we tried to figure out whose voice that was. Yep... we watched that movie with Lucy (Rachel Warren) in the room with us. (Thank god we didn't pick on the voice work!) We knew her, so of course we recognized her voice....we also saw her on stage in every theatre production. And she'd never told any of us that she had had the lead in a movie, animated but still.

Hey All, thanks so much for the replies so far. These are great stories!

Myra, what you said about celebrities being just regular people is so true. And - just like regular people - some are a**holes LOL. I still cant believe I got yelled at by Barry Manilow!!! I find that absolutely hysterical.
