Famous People

Cool!

Spike Milligan gave me a packet of Cadburys Chocolate Buttons when I was 9. Oh and I met Eugene from one of the Big Brother series but I don`t really count him as famous.

Here's a list of some of the "famous" people I have met over the years:

Kate Hudson
Ethan Hawke
Keanu Reeves
Tilda Swinton
Delroy Lindo
Gabrielle Reese
Samuel L. Jackson
Mike Myers
Hayden Christensen
Frankie Muniz
Avril Lavigne
Two of the members of Sum 41 (Deryck and Stevo)
Jessica Alba
Fred Durst
Josh Hartnett
Ryan Philippe
Rachel McAdams

That's all I can remember right now...

I was at school with Jacqueline Bisset, the actress, and at university with Jack Straw (ex British Foreign Secretary). As a journalist I met and interviewed many internationally well known people, including Margaret Thatcher, Bill Clinton, Mick Jagger, many members of the British Government in the 80s and 90s and of course many people well known in the Balkans in the last 15 years. One of them, Ejup Ganic, who was President of Bosnia during part of the war, asked me to become Professior of English at his new University in 2002, which I did and was there for two years before I retired. There are many others I can't remember.

I've met alot of wrestlers

The Big Show
Edge & Christian
Steve Blackman
Goldberg
X-Pac
Road Dogg
Hulk Hogan
Randy Savage
The Undertaker

Needless to say, I was a wrestling addict

Gun's N Roses (The whole band)
And the lead singer of Main Vain

I've also met Bill Cosby & Paul Newman

I am jealous! I would love to meet The Undertaker. He was the only reason I watched wrestling, and it gave my daughter and me something to talk about during a time when we didn't have much in common. I think big, tattooed guys are hotter than a 2 dollar pistol. A friend was dating Paul Orndorff, and I hung out with them sometimes. Very nice guy.
I got backstage passes to ZZ Top years ago. That was fun.
I got to meet Kent "Omar" Dykes, of Omar and the Howlers in Kansas City. He was so nice. I was so sorry to hear his wife passed away from cancer.
I got to meet Webb Wilder briefly after his tshirt selling girl got too drunk, so he had to do it himself after his part of the show. I had one of his concert posters all matted and was waiting to get it autographed. He seemed impressed with the work that had been done. The girl had fixed it perfectly from being pulled down off the wall and did a black and silver matte with a flat black frame. I bet me running 2 blocks to get it and 2 more to put it back in the car was a quite a sight, even 10 years ago.
It is so cool how many interesting people we all ahve met. I would love to meet Willie Nelson and Kinky Freidman

I was in LOVE with The Rock for a looooooooong time!

Aside for the Dr. Hook fans - I met Robert Jance Garfat, who played bass with the band from 1971 to 1984. He was working at a concession stand at The Oakland Collesium. He died November 6, 2006, in a motorcycle accident. Sad, huh?

I met Toby Keith in the Louisville, KY airport and got his autograph on my plane ticket holder.
He was by himself, and HOTTTT!
It was 1996 I think.

Bon Jovi sweat on me, does that count? It was in concert, so probably not.

I did wait on Roy Clark one night (he was a real A$$), and I also waited on a lot of the Redskins when their training camp was at Frostburg State. I had no idea who there were, but when very big guys came in and ordered 6 pizza for 4 guys, I knew they were football players.

Other than that, I've lead a very sheltered life.

Regiie White, Grady Jackson, Gilbert Brown (a few times) Donald Driver, LeRoy Butler, Mike Sherman, Robert Brooks, Santana Dotson, seen Bart Starr at an ice cream shop (and one girl that accidentally got ice cream all over him and not know who he was! He bought her a new one!) LOL I know there's more, but those are the most memorable....

Back when my Mom was working at channel 5 in Green Bay, she got to meet a lot of Packers' players - Brett Favre being one of them..

I met Chris Jacke once at the Olive Garden in Appleton: he was there having dinner with his family, and I got his autograph.

I know someone who just had a book published about a year ago: "Anna's Wish", by Paul Daniel. He's not well know yet, the book being his first. He is writing a sequel. I do have an autographed copy of the book.

I once talked to Betty White, back when I worked in a call center, and she called to place an order..

I guess I don't get out much: y'all have me beat by a mile..

~KK~

I met Cass Ole (and used to have some mane hair, lol) who was the Arabian horse in the "The Black Stallion" movies...
