Random Sightings of the Rich and Famous

I was on the game show "Liars Club" and met Betty White, Larry Hovus, Dick Gotie (sp). Dick wanted me to taste the tea he was drinking. I won by the way.

Liar's Club. Wow, I remember that show. My grandparents submitted an item from their business to the show and all of the family had to watch to see what the panel would guess it was. It was something to do with their tent and awning business.

I worked with Patrick Muldoon (Melrose Place and Starship Troopers) and Carmen Electra on a crappy little project once; I got to hang out with Art Alexakis (Everclear) in Montana; was on a cruise and bumped into some WWF wrestlers, including Steve Austin; but my most memorable meeting was when my mother took me out to the now long-demolished Riverside International Raceway to meet Paul Newman, who was actually a huge prick in person.

I live in New Orleans (AKA "Hollywood South," because of the serious tax breaks for filming here.) I've been in films with Nick Cage, Harry Connick Jr., Zoe Bell, and others that I can't recall off the top of my head. I recently waited on Frances Ford Coppola and Lawrence Fishburn. (Frances' fat ass broke one of our chairs!) Oh and Ryan Dunn, from Jackass fame, came in last week.

In April of 2008, Drew Barrymore was shooting Whip it in Michigan. My friends and I were in a bar, and in she walks in with Justin Long. Nobody paid much attention to her, and you could tell she was a little put off by that. Finally someone asked "Are you Drew Barymore?" She said "Yeah I am!" Then he said "Well I was wondering, what the fuck are you doing in Michigan?"

My friends told her we were having a house party and that she should come by. Well, sure enough, she, Justin Long, and their assistants roll up at about 3 am.

Justin Long was super cool and chill, while Drew just smoked all the pot and didn't say thank you.

So I was wondering - who's had a random encounter with a celebrity lately, and where?

I've met Greg Windmiller once. He was a really down to earth guy, even though his Chuck Norris like abilities.

I was walking back to the house after a party at 99' Sundance Film Festival when Michael Stipe from R.E.M steps out of the shadows and says hi.

My first weekend visiting Athens, GA I looked up and Mike Mills was sitting three seats away from me at a dark little beer pub. I would have acted like a loser and taken up hours of his time gushing, but fortunately, I embarrassed myself in the first 5 minutes so I had to walk away. I used it as an omen that Athens was a place I could live. (And I was WRONG. )

I recently saw Spike Lee exiting the pisser of a suburban Loco's Pub while driving to ATL from the Fitzgerald boogie. He looked a lot like an action figure of himself, and walked slowly like he wanted to be recognized but not spoken too. Also, the place was empty and I never saw him at a table, so I'm pretty sure he just made them stop his Navigator there so he could take a nice, clean McPiss.

I have a few relatives that are famous. The one that most of you prolly know is Kenny Ortega(cousin). He is the guy who did a little something called "High School musical." He also did Hocus Pocus, Newies, dirty dancing, Salsa, and a few others.

The doctor office I worked in in Tahoe was very high end and we had several famous patients. I wish I could say who but that hipa thing says I can't. I can say there was a heavy metal rock star From the 80's, another well know singer, a guy who plays on CSI miami( he was vacationing in Tahoe and had just signed a 10 episode contract. They must have liked him cause that was 3yrs ago). When I was a snow bum I met the principle from saved by the bell, the lady Nancy Cartwright who draws for the Simpsons, the teenage witch girl, Eddy Money, the girl who played the princess in A Knights Tale(she grew up in Reno and had just gotten the part. Her and her mom came up to ski for the day and her mom yelled out her daughter gets to do a love scene with that hunk heath ledger)and too many pro athletes to even list.

Oh, and I met Skymama...I think I have met my quota....

Never heard of 1/2 the people in this thread. I treat the rich and famous like just like the poor and unknown. I leave them alone.

Ok ok I just had to skydive with Skymama, but i didn't ask her for her autograph.

I worked for the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Houston and met many famous people.

Oliver Stone once left his personal address book out on the table....I made a few phone calls, but nothing really became of it...well, I did get to have a chat with Han Solo! Ray Liotta was a very cool guy. Bette Midler is just nasty. The best by far was Jack Nicholson. He would walk into the employee cafeteria and put on a show for everyone when he was in a good mood. And I had hot chocolate with Mick Jaggar. The guys from Rush were such jerks I cannot even jam to their music anymore. Shaq was a really nice guy and thanked me for extending the shower head for him. He said he had never once been in a hotel shower that he could stand in without bending over. I thought I was going to knife Patrick Ewing because he started yelling at me and got a little too close-He never even knew I had the blade in my hand...he was not a nice guest of the hotel. Secretary of Treasury Lloyd Benson was having high level talks with the big oil companies for a few days and I received a call at 5am to check the plumbing in his room. He had slipped in the shower getting ready, the guy was so drunk he could not even speak clearly much less take a shower safely!.....too many more to mention.

Oh Yea!!!!!!!!!!

This thread got me thinking about two experiences I had with Courtney Love. The first was when her baby was born. The band and Love were parting in one of the rooms and making a lot of noise. I had already walked past the room a few times just to check them out. Security got a call and I went there with him. Curt opened the door and was very nice(in fact they all were), but Love, who was standing inches from me face to face with the baby on her hip, kept starring at me. I tried so hard to ignore her, but when she let out the most disgusting beer burp right in my face, I had to back up into the hallway. She was dressed in a wife beater, no bra and I don’t think she had seen a shower in weeks. And she had make-up all over her face. Just nasty.

Then about a year or so later she checks into the hotel again while on tour. I got a call saying she had locked herself in her room and could not get out. Security guard and I ran up to the room anf found the door bolted from the inside. I got the door open only to find her on the floor, almost naked, eyes rolled into her head and she was starting to vomit and moan. The security guy says he does not even want to touch her! Then we see the tracks on her arm and the needle on the dresser. A couple of seconds later one of her “handlers” ran in and grabbed the needle and got her out of the room! So nasty. Then we walked the room to see if anything was going on and I found the bathroom covered in black dye. Everything looked as if it had had paint splattered all over it. I saw her concert later that night and she managed to get cleaned up enough for it…. And sure enough, her hair was black!

Oh Yea!!!!!!!!!!
