The most random celebrity you've met or have seen

dcfaithful · February 2010

dcfaithful's girlfriend speaking:

I used to work @ the Parisian in Birmingham Alabama and a guy walked in with one of those horrible hats with the flaps over his ears. I thought he looked kind of familiar so i kept staring at him, i worke din the jewelry department and he was with a woman looking @ earrings. They walked through without buying anything and left, but then they came back later on and i just kept staring again lol. Then they finally decided on a pair of earrings and when i took his money from him i said "Whats your name because you look very familiar"...and he said "Yes im an actor, i played Xander on Buffy" and i was like oh yea holy shit, but then kind of dissapointed cause you then want to tell your friends you saw a celebrity, but who the fuck knows who Nicholas Brendon is?

Also when i worked @ Parisian I saw Paula Deen shopping in the mens Polo shirts with her husband. At the time her show had just recently come out and not a lot of people knew who she was, but me being completely obsessed (and still am) with the Food Network, i knew EXACTLY who she was

And i was so excited! So i had to run over and tell her i loved her show and of course she said "Well c'mon over here and gimme a hug honey!" And i was more than happy too

I also met Marilyn Manson backstage, and saw the guy who plays Elton in Clueless @ the Circle K by my old house in Georgia.Oh yea! I also saw Deebo from Friday in the Mall of Georgia when i was like 16. Hmmmm ok i think thats it.

I met Jared Leto and he was a dick.

A few months ago I walked right past Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway on my way to work. I saw the cameras and the film crew, and had to walk through it since they were blocking the whole street. Didn't notice them until I was right up next to them... never bothered to say anything though.

Met a few celebs, but they weren't random. Adam Sandler backstage at a meet and greet. The Goo Goo Dolls twice, drank with them in the early 90's and in the mid 90's at a meet and greet. Marilyn Manson after an in-store, drank with the band on their tour bus. Glen Phillips from Toad the Wet Sprocket twice and Eddie after his solo show in Santa Barbara...

Many many of them but here's a couple that pathologist guy from CSINY he once starred in that series Man From U.N.C.L.E. He sat in first class, I sat in business on our way to Gatwick Airport in England.

Bumped into Senator Kennedy (Ted) in Harvard Square on his way to Caroline Kennedy's graduation at Harvard. I was walking on the sidewalk looked up there he was and bumped him like a pick pocket would.

One time I was having a facial/ body mud exfoliation and lunch at the Four Seasons Palm Beach with my fiance and Kelly Rippa, husband and their parents came down to eat. They sat behind us, me actually and she looked like she just dragged herself out of bed. My fiance couldn't take her eyes off of her and wouldn't stop talking about her, I finally had to say enough already.

Another one, I was bowling at the Circle Lanes in Hampton Va and 2 lanes over was Robert Plant bowling. I said to my friends you have no idea who that guy over there that's bowling. They had no clue, he was on his *The Principle of Moments* tour. I was able to see his show and loved the song *Big Log*.

Another bowling one was remember Vanilla Ice he bowled in the next lane with his daughters. This was Lake Worth Florida and the dude is tattooed up. He can't bowl though but gave me a couple nice shots on a couple turkeys I had.

Many others when I worked graveyard at Denny's back in school in Hampton Va. All the rock stars and roadies would come in after their shows AC/DC, Van Halen, The Wailers, The Greatful Dead, David Bryne of Talking Heads are just a few.

Peace

i met Eric Bristow (darts player) Shanghi air port bar. top geezer.

AtlantaJammer · February 2010

Ive run into a TON! Living here in Atlanta, mostly athletes and musicians/Rappers. Id have to say the most random was Vanilla Ice in the Bahamas at the airport. I was at the bar having a couple drinks with my friends and he pulls a chair up right next to me. This was later in his career, tattoos/punk rocker look. I have a ton of respect for this guy, as he was cool as shit! Talked about an hour or so about random stuff but mostly Motorcross. He races bikes. If I find a pic ill post it. Rob Van Winkle is cool as shit!

I was very lucky we had the Hampton Coliseum which in the early 80's was the busiest concert venue on the east coast. Everybody played there due to the acoustics and the size of the place around 14-15,000 general admission. I also worked there as security, most times I wasn't securing anything I was watching the shows many of them.

That's before Mercury Blvd got built up so if these musicians/roadies were hungry Denny's was THE place to eat. Our food was good and quick and most folks other than a weekends we were rather empty. They usually would show up around 3-4 in the morning very tranquil and peaceful.

Peace

My random story: So, in December '08 for the holiday break, my mom, sister & I decided to go to Argentina to visit my grandma's cousins in Buenos Aires and to see Iguazu Falls. Of course while there, we really wanted to go to see a tango. My grandmother's cousins are in their 70s and have lived in Argentina for most of their lives- so naturally, they took us to a really really authentic tango place on a side street in Buenos Aires-- it was literally a converted gymnasium & we were the only Americans there (except for this celebrity...). Anyway, it's like 2 in the morning and the show was just about to get underway. Suddenly, a family member asks my mom, "Is that Willem Dafoe?"--long story short, it was. My mom & I went over to say hi, was a really really nice guy and happily signed an autograph for us! He was actually learning tango with a few friends and their instructor took them to this place we were in! 2 AM, a side street in Buenos Aires, Willem Dafoe, what are the chances?-- now that's random--but it was very cool!

Also my dad might win for random celebrity sighting- As he was walking into a bathroom in a diner in New Jersey, Hulk Hogan walked out. He said, "Hey Terry" (knowing that was his real name) in passing

facepollution · February 2010

I saw Mathew Horne (from Gavin and Stacey) and Jonah Hill (the tubby guy from Superbad) at Pearl Jam's Shepherd's Bush show.

Oh and Kat Deeley walked straight in to me at the V '98 festival!

And lastly, Chris Cornell got right up in my face at an Audioslave concert, he was literally nose to nose with me, was very strange!

Stonerlady · February 2010

I met Ben from Billy Talent once at their show. It's some years ago and I don't listen to BT anymore, but that guy was amazing. We didn't talk as their support band was playing and he was just in front of the stage to watch but he started smiling at me and then came over to give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek and stayed there in front of the barrier all show - his arm around my shoulders. Well I never saw him again but I was melting at that moment :oops:

And Jesse "The Devil" Hughes once kissed me after EofDM's show at Rock im Park - but I was not the only one to be kissed.

Cliffy6745 · February 2010

I have a pretty bizarre story about partying with Tracy Morgan that is way too difficult to type. Let's just say, he is a strange fucking guy and was really fucked up on all types of shit.

eeriepadave · February 2010

Are we talking about getting autographs too? cuz if so my list would be way longer (athletes and wrestlers)

Well being from West Chester i've seen Bam Margera, Rake Yohn, brandon DiCamillo, Raab, Ryan Dunn (gues from Jackass, Viva La Bam, cKy) A few of my friends went to high school with them so that is pretty cool. I used to see Brandon where I worked a lot so I talk to him and he's a cool guy. I went to high school with Kerr Smith but he graduated a few years before I did, so I may have seen him in the hallway. I did graduate with his sister though.

Other than that I saw Anson Williams (Potsie Webber from Happy Days) a few years ago where I work now, Stein Mart, he bought a fur coat. I've seen and met Ed Rendell many times.

I had to read that a couple times to figure out what you were talking about. No, I went to school at Hampton Institute which became Hampton University. I hardly ever ventured over to Norfolk except to play Norfolk State University and an occasional concert @ The Norfolk Scope like U2 on their WAR Tour.

peace

blenderman69 · February 2010

although it is to be expected he would be there, it was the casualness of it that sort of shocked me. Adrien Grenier's band was playing a gig at a local music venue, literally feet from my apartment. As I volunteer at said music venue, I stopped in the main office, and there was Adrien Grenier, eating a bag of doritos and just hanging out, in this cramped office space.

haha the guy in real life is completely opposite of who vinny chase is. i saw him perform with his band the honey brothers at a festival and he was so casual. didn't make one entourage reference whatsoever.

but about three months ago i was in a rest stop in upstate new york and i was taking a piss at the urinal and in comes jim cramer. the man completely broke man law by standing right next to me at the urinal. after we were done and washing our hands, i look at him in the mirror and say, "hey! you're jim cramer!" he said yup. and then i was getting something to eat at the little mcdonald's they had in the rest stop and he comes over and asks them for a latte, which they didn't have. i thought he was gonna go all "mad money" on the mcdonald's lady but he got a coffee instead.

Rode in an elevator with Brooke Smith (Dr. Hahn, Greys Anatomy) in the Wilshire District of Los Angeles. Blocked Billy Zane's driveway with my delivery truck. Used to do small talk with Dr. Drew Pinsky when he was a customer of mine. Hung with Jerry O'Connell in Ensenada one night; chins-er only bought we one beer after kissing his ass for 20 minutes. 000000000

Most wacky and random...Carrot Top at a plant nursery.

Most awesome...10 feet away from Jessica Biel, in a bikini, getting out of pool. It actually didn't dawn on me who she was until my wife came back from the lobby later that day and says "guess who I just saw walking around?

I also worked at a photo lab and developed Brooke Shields' and Andre Agassi's film once. Dick Smothers, too.

Also ran into Dave A. playing slots at the Alladdin Hotel before the gig in '93. Super cool dude.

I was once standing in line at the Paia Fish Market in Maui and saw Jim Carey pass by outside. I started telling my friend all about how I don't like Jim Carey. Finally I turned around and realized he had come in and was standing in line behind me. Neither of us said anything but I felt like an ass. Then, later when he and his friend and me and my friend were out going in and out of the little shops in Paia, he stopped us and make a joke about something. Seemed like a nice guy.
