RE: RE: What celebraties have you seen in person?

Maddie · Coach

I saw Ana Gasteyer on the subawy in NYC.

I met John McCain at his office. My dad's friend is on his staff.

I met the lead singer from Sixpence None the Richer (if you remember them, they sang that "Kiss Me" song from She's All That) at Lilith Fair.

I saw Larry Bird walking down the street in NYC.

I chased after this guy Nick from Survivor Australia on the street in Seattle. He was very nice and laughed at us when he realized we were following him.

I saw Peaches on the street in San Francisco. She totally knew I was staring at her and I hear she hits people who come up to her. She's so badass.

I met Something Corporate and talked to them after one of their shows. It was before they were big, I think the concert was like $1.

I've also met a ton of players on the Mariners and the Sonics. Just through random stuff.

I'm also planning a trip to NYC to stalk Mary-Kate some time this fall.

--billy crystal on 6th ave. much shorter than i expected.

--sandra bernhart (sp?) right outside of good enough to eat

--kate hudson. she lives around the corner from my salon. i got out of my car, and i just saw this woman w/ the cutest baby looking up at her, and i was right about to smile at the mother, and then realized it was her (when she was a foot away from me) and freaked a bit and pretended to look the other way

--julianne moore and hubby. i actually saw them downtown the other night. she really is beautiful in person.

--i got hit on my travis minor (football player for the dolphins -- or at least he was when i met him).

--carl thomas. my friend tried desperately to set us up after.

This made me chuckle because he went to the brother high school of my high school while I was there and non of the black girls at my school would date him because while as they said "he had a hot body he had an ugly face" They are probably kicking themselves right now since he's in the NFL.

asf · Kate Spade

ally, i'm so jealous that you know kevin smith!

my sightings are pretty boring...

alec baldwin - he came in to democratic hq for a campaign i was working on in east hampton. he was fat.

hillary clinton - i've seen her many times, but met her only once (and got a pic!) - she was much prettier and taller than i expected her to be

chuck schumer (our other ny senator, for those who don't know) - he's awesome

fred durst - getting out of his suv in front of scores in nyc (this was a few years ago)

i think that's it, although i feel like i'm forgetting someone...

daiz519 · Dooney & Bourke

Wow, everyone here has seen a lot of celebrities!!! Just this New Year's I saw Mariah Carey at the club Pure in Caesar's Palace. Here's the pic:

Other than that, I've met a lot of NHL players because I used to go to the LA King's practices years ago.

valenciana · Dooney & Bourke

mine are pretty boring...and eclectic

I saw Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, and whatever the goofy weatherman's name is (it escapes me right now) when my mom forced me to visit the Today Show with the other soccer moms on vacation.

I saw/met Margaret Thatcher, Madeleine Albright, and Lamar Alexander at various events and/or graduation when in college. Oh, I was involved in theater and would see speakers in the hall of the theater building if they came to talk...the only interesting one was Bill Cosby.

And even though I've been living in Nashville for over 2 years, I'm pretty sure I've only seen one country singer. Keith Urban in line at the Pancake Pantry one Sunday morning. He is short and a total poser.

oh, i forgot sports people...but i only met them when they were in college...a few NBA players, no one too high profile, mostly Spurs players (formerly at U of Arizona), and then of course, Michael Vick, who went to school in my hometown before going to play for the Atlanta Falcons. so that's kind of cool.

gruiz · Kenneth Cole

You are all going to be SO jealous when you read my list. This could quite possibly be the crappiest list ever.

Gordon Elliott, back when he had a daytime talk show. He was outside FAO Schwartz with a film crew asking people what they bought. He refused to ask us even though I stood right in front of him.

Dr. Ruth Westheimer, in the Museum of Modern Art gift shop. She's quite possibly the smallest woman I've ever seen

Chris Elliott in a party store with his wife and kids. I actually heard his voice from the next aisle over and instantly knew it was him.

Why do I meet all the Elliotts?

clothes_horse · Dooney & Bourke

the only famous person i've ever seen: Mary J. Blige

i was walking along in nyc and she walked right past me, with some guy, maybe a bodyguard

she looked exactly like she does in all the pictures. it was pretty cool.

Evan Dando? I used to

the Lemonheads

nyc_shopgirl · Dooney & Bourke

My totally random list:

-Ivana Trump
-Kimora Lee Simmons
-Jules Asner and a ton of other "famous people" who I don;'t remember at the Baby Phat fashion show
-Ethan Hawk on the street
-Chris Noth at his bar
-Socks the cat (or his body double in like 1994)
-Bill Kristol who is a commentator on Fox News and other news shows

the other day my friend ran into Mike Myers in starbucks of all places

Escrime · Kate Spade

My list is pretty lame as well.

Val Kilmer and Elizabeth Shue when they were in Oxford filming The Saint at a club/bar. He sat and had a few drinks and smokes with us when he found out some of the people in our group were Americans. Slizabeth Shue tried to dance with my gay Chinese roommate, but he blew her off and later said she was a bad dancer. LOL

I saw David Hasselhoff in London. We were walking around trying to get to Chinatown for lunch, and then we saw a huge crowd of people standing around, so we hung out to see what was going on. He came out, and I was like, "We waited around for that?!? It's only David Hasselhoff! I want to go eat now!" He heard me and looked straight at me. If looks could kill, I would have been dead.

Bill Clinton, when he went to speak at Oxford and saw him again in Rotterdam.

Can't think of any others right now...
