Know or met someone famous?Okay, Tony S. knew Nixon and crunchymom met Elizabeth from that lame show who else knows, knew or met someone famous. Any interesting stories or tidbits? I met Joe Namath and I shook the VP George Bush's hand. young and fabulous May 13, 08 7:50 pm I could go on all night with this one, here are a few: I partied with Jesse Ventura when he was running for governor in Minnesota! My best friend's husband was one of his campaign guys... I don't remember his job title. We had a great time. Jesse is awesome in person. I lived in Brooklyn Park when he was the mayor, too. Was at a Bar in Florida with Razor Ruddock first guy to knock down Mike Tyson and had dinner with Jack Cafferty. There are some other people I met, but actually hung out with these guys. Calico, I'm a huge Bon Jovi fan - would love to hear how you met Jon and Richie? I'm so jealous! And how did you meet so many celebrities in general? Ashford & Simpson, Madonna, Joe Frazier, Sylvester Stallone, and let's not forget . . . Carlos Santana ~:O) happy2bhere May 13, 08 8:48 pm Calico - I must say your list is outstanding! Tell us more, tell us more! happy2bhere May 13, 08 8:51 pm froggy says,was rubbing elbows with Franky Avalon a while back,and people say I look a lot like Paul Neumans gardeners brother,,,calico,just for fun,,,,when did you hit your head???love ya,,,,,,.....,froggy I'd be dangerous if I met someone really famous. Lisa, an old BF of mine was friends with the Bon Jovi Band, spent many a night backstage. Used to be in several bands myself in my younger days. I forgot to mention Motley Crue. 2cutedoggies. why don't you stay home and stop harassing celebrities. young and fabulous May 13, 08 9:06 pm And I thought Dolly was the wild one. Calico must be a hot number. Bet she could write a Heide Fliess type memoir. young and fabulous May 13, 08 9:10 pm I met Alice Cooper. i think thats the only person i actually met, like spoke to, took a pic with...etc...oh I met the guys from Miami Ink..i dont know if anyone watches that show but my boyfriend and i were in Miami and we went to Ami and chris' bar Love Hate, without even knowing it was their bar and we ended up partying with the whole cast. Atlantic City May 13, 08 9:12 pm wow calico you might have to share some of these stories saturday night! KAT, yeah, Sebastian (we always called him Bas) and his wife Maria, they are still together and live in NJ. My ex husband and I were actually married by the same minister as Sebastian and Maria. Guess it wasn't as good of luck for us...LOL! Summer's in college I worked security at a local club. One night the owner told me to keep people from bothering some guy and his girlfriend all night. I did such a good a job that at the end of the night he asked me if I was interested in working security for him and that they needed crowd control for a video he was shooting in that club's parking lot that weekend. I told him no thanks, but I said to him by the way who are you? He said he was Jon Bon Jovi and they were shooting the video to his first hit song "Runaway". My kids hate when I tell that story! Calico - Journey Mill Inn? (HunkaBunka Ballroom)the band was there or at Simko's Pub almost every weekend early on. She might not be well known but I consider her to be famous. Erica Steinberg Exec Produced Kill Bill and works on all Quentin Tarantino's projects. I've stayed at her home in Studio City. She took us to some awesome parties thrown by her producer friends, some directors, and lots of actors who I did not know. Later she told me I was drinking with Jason Bateman -- I thought he looked familiar. The 3 leads from Desperate Housewives (not Nicole Sheridan -- the other 3 leads -- her I would have known from Knots Landing). A few people from ER, and some other shows. It was all lost on me. But it was an awesome party, fabulous food, live music, tons of booze, and Bateman was a nice guy. Went snorkling with Jose Canseco in Hawaii. Week after the '89 World Series. Hung out all night with him and his wife at the time who I think was Ms. Miami - that was fun. Anybody ever hear of the rock group Blackfoot? I was the nanny for the drummer Jackson Spires and his wife Suzanne (she was an Olympic skier).Also met Bill Anderson (country singer) and I went to grade school with Lance Holcolm, he did a movie called "Venom" in the early 80's as well as alot of B horror movies in the 80's and 90's. and almost forgot, Meatloaf, met him personnally at the Nook in Nov of 89, had a drink with him at the bar and everything. Very cool dude. MTV did one of those houses of the famous on Sebastian Bach on account of the Kiss memorabilia he has. The location was given as "northern NJ" but I immediately recognized the development since I had been looking for a house right in that area at the time I bought my current place in H'town. I don't know the exact street address, but I could well have been neighbors of Sebastian if I was a bit quicker. The two houses on the market there at the time were bought up by the time I was ready to make an offer two days later. Oh, well. Hometown Gal - Hometown Gal - is that Suzie Chapstick from the cheesy 80's commercials!? Marie Osmond, Cousin Brucie, Jim Breuer (SNL and stand up), Roseanne Barr, Rhonda Shear, Judy Landers, (of the Landers sisters), a few of the Pittsburgh Pirates back in the 80's, Dave Barry, Arj Barker, went to school with a Miss New Jersey, dated Meg Ryan's cousin and I'll throw in the Clooney impersonator for good luck. Lee E Miller - author, speaker, teacher, etc. Lee's friend May 14, 08 3:28 am When I lived in NY I saw Sophia Loren and when ever I went to California I hung out with Ricky Nelson and his band and I got to go to Saturday Night Live when he rehhearsed for the show. My cousin was his manager. He was a very nice guy. That is so cool Calico - if you ever talk to "bas" in the near future you can tell him that he still has a huge fan who still listens to Skid Row who thinks he has an amazing voice! KAT, I haven't seen or talked to him in many years. If I ever do bump into him, I'll try to convince him to come to a happy hour...LOL! I've met Al Pacino, Patrick Swayze, John Leguizamo, Bill Clinton, John Travolta, Olivia N. John, Madonna, Ricky Martin, Liam Neeson, Barbara Streisand,David Ushery,JFK Jr. and an actor from Spanish Tv. jjames May 14, 08 8:44 am Couldn't agree more Y&A. I'd probably throw up on the spot if I bumped into Bono. That would really impress the poor guy. I'm just really really star struck. I've seen other celebs at a distance (Barbara Walters, Olympia Dukakis) and I've frozen to the spot and just stared at them. I met Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford (back in the 80's). I also ran into Kevin James at Shea Stadium. We went to Ca for our Honeymoon and didn't meet one famous person the entire trip! How ironic is that? Tito Santana was my gym teacher at Roxbury High School. Met Adam Sandler and Kevin James while in Vegas, Samuel L. Jackson in NYC, Ben Stiller and his wife, Phish, Jim Breur at Bernie's in Chester (great tipper!) I think a lot of people in this area have met Tito Santana and Jim Bruer, they are always around. I met Tito many years ago, looked at a condo he had for rent in Stanhope, really nice guy. Talked to Jim Bruer several times at Redwoods in Chester, he goes there a lot. I think most of you are exaggerating and stretching the truth a bit. Not all of you though..... Just for fun May 14, 08 10:40 am Jim Norton, Opie and Anthony, Club Soda Kenny, Big AAAAAAA, Pete "not on baseball, well mabe" Rose, Hank AAron, Met Reggie Jackson in a bathroom in Atlantic City (did NOT shake hands), Bobby murcer, Joe Kleco of the Jets, lots of old & current mets players. XM SAM May 14, 08 10:51 am XM SAM-Do you know Club Soda Kenny ? or just meet him ? The guy is a real horses butt,to put it nicely,I know him personaly also. TonyS May 14, 08 11:14 am Crunchy Mom- no it was not Suzy chapstick, her name was Suzanne and she was just on the Olympic team. I met Ed Sanders at one of the first poetry festivals at Waterloo Village. TonyS, I've only met him at Lil' Jimmy's shows, had picture taken w/him as a goof, spoke briefly and you are right, he is a Jack_Ass. The rest of the dudes at O&A are great. XM SAM May 14, 08 12:48 pm
This is a fun thread! Okay... I have seen (did not actually meet) Julia Child, Gregory Hines, the guy who played the painter on Murphy Brown, and Stiller & Meara. My husband and I met, spoke with, and were blessed by Mother Theresa. THAT was pretty spectacular! I have also been in the presence of the Dalai Lama twice, but I did not talk to him personally. (However, I was quite near him both times!) I've met Dolly of DollyLama purses. Very exciting and right here in Hackettstown! Calicat2u May 14, 08 4:18 pm We met Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown while on vacation in Las Vegas. (Funny how they live in Mendham, NJ and have never seen them here. Plus, their daughter went to Jeff Lakes Camp in Stanhope.) Whitney was singing in the pool (off-key) believe it or not. She sounded terrible... N & A May 14, 08 5:40 pm
Every time I see Whitney and Bobby B on the tube they both look like they have a really bad case of allergies, teary bloodshot eyes and totally out of it. Maybe they should see an allergist. young and fabulous May 14, 08 7:14 pm years ago, Whitney and Bobby used to come into the restaurant I used to worked at and they were terrible tippers! not even 10%. we'd always make the newest server take their table since we knew it wouldn't be worth our while. Whitney is looking great again www.whitneyhouston.com , I love her boots.Bobby was her downfall. TonyS May 14, 08 10:51 pm About 5 or 7 years ago Im pretty sure Frank Langela was sitting at the crier counter, someone said he has friends in PV. I think he may have dated that troll woopie. young and fabulous May 15, 08 9:27 am Matt Stairs (plays baseball for the Blue Jays) sat next to me in highschool math class (I "helped" him on occasion). monaco May 15, 08 2:22 pm ha ha...you didn't mention that I than had the priviledge to use the toilet just vacated by Norman Mailer!!! Calicat2u May 15, 08 3:07 pm never met anyone famous except one of the guys from a christian group called the grits. i saw brian littrell up close at revalation generation in frenchtown back in sept. my cousin in law plays minor league baseball for a team in erie does that count? Wassily Leontief, Nobel prize in Economics. excuse me that would be "Rowland Wells Redington", calicat2u - on my first attempt at posting I did mention that you liked to brag about that, but alas, the post went missing and I didn't have time to get that in depth the second time. monaco May 15, 08 9:17 pm met Richard Thomas ("Johnboy Walton"), Duff McKagan (Guns N Roses) & Barbara Mandrell when I was a kid...
I met Reggie Jackson (he was a real jerk), Bill Murphy (hes funny), Weird Al Yankovich (he was mad chill), and some others I cannot remember. Angie May 17, 08 7:32 am Farrah Fawcett~ ditzy but nice
Be careful in the Pine Barrons,lots of Banjo playing going on down there,you might end up like Ned Beatty in Deliverance,and I do mean, End UP. TonyS May 17, 08 6:23 pm This topic has not been commented on in more than 6 months.
