I'm actually distantly related to the late Buddy Hackett. They did my father's family tree and that's how I found out. Buddy Hacktt's real name was Leonard Hacker

I believe they were going to sign with Sony, and had some contract disagreements and it fell through. Dont quote me though. I am not sure what exactly happend.
i met the olsen twins when they were 4 or 5... they were cranky, and their managerish person told them not to talk to anyone
Michael Landon, Charlton Heston and Jack Klugman.Originally Posted by Miss Mew
Last night we flew an old 80's band called Prism to Winnipeg to catch a flight out west, I've also met one of the band members from an old 50's/60's band called the Searchers that used to sing "love potion #9"...and that's about it as far as brushes with celebrities!
Ever met anyone famous???
I've met Alex Haley before he died.
And Harry Hamlin is a 3rd or 4th cousin on my mother's side.

I didn't know it until after we'd left, but I once ate at a Pizza Hut w/Hank Williams Jr. General concensus locally is he's an @$$, so I'm sure I didn't miss much.
My friend from HS babysat regularly for Huey Lewis, said he was a great guy and a fab tipper, and my sister-in-law had ballet class w/Andie MacDowall's girls - MIL was not impressed.
There are quite a few celebs who have bought a (big) piece of the Big Sky (heard of Ted Turner? Tom Brokaw? how about David Letterman?), so I've probably run across them at one point or another and not known it - I'm kinda oblivious that way. Do wish I'd seen Tom Selleck when he had property here, though - I had SUCH a crush on Magnum PI!!

I haven't met anyone famous, but I would really like to meet Eddie Vedder, Josh Homme and Marilyn Manson.
My boyfriend on the other hand has met several famous and semi-famous people. I couldn't begin to name all of them. He even became friends with the lead singer for Godhead after he and his friends kept running into the band at shows.
We haven't run into rock stars since I've been with him...maybe I'm a rock-star repelant! lol
The best story he has is about meeting Jeordie White (aka Twiggy Ramirez, of Marilyn Manson, A Perfect Circle and now Nine Inch Nails), Danny Carey (Tool) and James Iha (Smashing Pumpkins, A Perfect Circle). My bf thinks Twiggy is the coolest rock star on the face of the earth. He was so overwhelmed at meeting Twiggy that he totally didn't even think to acknowledge that James Iha and Danny Carey were there, even though he loves their bands too.
My boyfriend is silly.

I went to school with some musicians who are now famous. High School: Ben Gibbard from Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service; Elementary school, rival jr high & high school: Tom Wisniewski from MxPx (formerly known as Magnified Plaid)
I'm not really big into sports but I've met a few pro athletes. Former Seahawks quarterback Steve Largent (back in the 80's before he got into politics), Seattle Mariners pitcher Jamie Moyer, and pitcher Randy Johnson (while with Arizona Diamondbacks). All on different occasions.
I rode in an elevator with Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys. Personally I really didn't think he was that cute and he was kind of snobby. That was pre-Paris Hilton. He had a girlfriend with him while we was touring our pediatric oncology unit.
I have seen some random ones:

I have seen some random ones:
- The hobbits from LOTR
- Marc Singer (for you Beastmaster and "V" fans)
- Lou Ferrigno (The Hulk - original)
- Ian Ziering (Beverly Hills 90210)
- Several cast members from the X-Flies when they were still taping in Vancouver, B.C. (I lived across the border on the US side and would see them shopping in the mall where I worked all the time.)
My grandma's cousin is gene autry, the guy that wrote rudolph the red nose reindeer.
I also have met James Earl Jones because he came and spoke at the university of arkansas a couple of years ago and I was in a group that helped host and organize it. I got him to autograph my Collectors edition star wars box set. That is right people, Darth Vader signed my star wars!!!!

Gene's more famous as "America's Singing Cowboy," with a radio, theater and television career spanning more than 7 decades!
Geez I wish I'd spent more time goin' to the Grand Ole Opry while I lived in TN - I might have actually met a famous person there!!!!
Thats cool...
My only claim to fame is that I grew up across the street from Jerry Remy who used to play for the Boston Red Sox and California Angels. He is now a TV annuoncer for the Red Sox.
All the people I have met are from an older generation - I cooked lunch for Sean Connery once. And when I was a journalist I interviewed many famous people - including Ian McKellan - he wasn't Sir then. He was very nice, if a little distracted, so the story about him doesn't surprise me! Famous people are just people who are doing a job that takes them into the public eye - actors, politicians, musicians, unless they are those who are famous for being famous, of whom there are far too many today, I think.
if sightings count,ive seen madonna go past in a limo,she has a house in north london,saw martin shaw. had a beer with monty keyboard player from the dammed.met allen davey (hawkwind player) and his mum
david allen from a ole band called gong.
thats about it.
thats about it.
Again, don't know if anyone heard of these, being UK, but have met Atomic Kitten - played at my graduation and served Jim Davidson - comedian (not very nice) and served Rhino (UK Gladiators) again not very nice.
Almost run over by Juan Pablo Montoya (driving a scooter) a few years ago when he drove for Williams at Silverstone Grand Prix and seen many F1 drivers there.

I believe they were going to sign with a division of Sony as Flipside Runner but that band's no more. Despite their potential which they had tons of, they put aside their aspirations of being big stars as they grew up, had families and reprioritized, broke up fairly amicably, and then evolved Pimpin' Ain't Easy which they say is just playing as a "party band". To my knowledge they have no plans to record as the new band.Originally Posted by mferr84
Arent they recording in L.A. now for their new album?? I cant wait to hear it, every time I go out there, my uncle(his dad) will give me another CD with just a few recent songs on it... I am like... come on guys, get it together and get something out!!
(who, Flipside Runner? If so someone else is using the name!)
I believe they were going to sign with Sony, and had some contract disagreements and it fell through. Dont quote me though. I am not sure what exactly happend.
I've known Vinnie, the "founder" of the band(s) since we were both 17 or 18 and he's married to my best friend... but I don't talk to them much anymore since I moved 500 miles away.
