I love most haunted. The British lady that hosts it drives me up the wall though. Let's see most famous, I met the band Sugaray once...but I'm not really a fan so it didn't mean a whole lot. What's the leads name McGram, McGath, McGrath...something. I knew the country singer Brad Paisley from school before he was famous...but again, not a country fan so no big deal. William Shatner....I think....I .....still have....his.....autograph somewhere.

Being in Celebrity Marketing, I have had the fortune of meeting many famous people.

The most interesting was Leonard Nimoy ( Mr Spock ). He loved to chat about his
photography and cooking, of all things!

Meeting Canadian Hero Paul Henderson was also very interesting, a more down to earth
person, I have not yet met.

Sometimes though, meeting your heroes is not what it's cracked up to be. I have
met several rock stars...the fantasy far outweighs the reality for most of them.

Dee Wallace Stone of E.T. fame. She used to attend the same church I did when I lived in California. I was on the Hospitality Committee, so I met almost everyone who attended or visited that church.

I've met Mr. Belding from "Saved By The Bell". I have his autograph somewhere. And I didn't actually meet Matt Sharp, the bassist for Weezer, but a friend who was interviewing him for a magazine proposed to him for me a few years ago. Unfortunately I was working or my friend was going to let me do the interview myself. The friend in question told Matt that he was going to be my third husband. Apparently it was a good reaction, until he asked who one and two were. The answer was David Bowie both times. At least it got a big smile out of him.

well lets see, Andie MacDowell, actress. I sold bicycles to her and her kids and husband (who I believe she has since divorced). What a bitch. I'm a patient man but if I were married to her, she would have a damn sore ass most of the time.

Alan Keyes, a presidential candidate in 2000, served on his security detail when he spoke in my city, then went out shooting at our local range with him, his wife, and his security team the next day. A very nice guy in spite of his politics. Pretty good shot too.

Partied several times with blues guitarist Robert Cray, back before he made it big. He used to play a local bar on a regular circuit. Also met Buddy Guy, another blues guitarist, at a party after he played the same bar.

I had the pleasure of working at quite large music venue, so during the time i worked there i got meet alot of quite well known band and artists. Being one of the managers there ment i had to have a access all areas pass. But a number of years back now the BBC did some live shows at the venue as part of it's music live season. The Joles Holland show was aired on the friday and Top of the Pops on the sunday. Faithless & Catatonia to name only a couple were part of the line up.. One hell of a week end it was..

We used to do some charity event which usally had a low level celeb appearence
and we also used to host the bradford bulls invents as well. But unless your british they probably don't mean anything to you...

Had the greatest pleasure of all to meet Lady Diana, Princess of Wales (God rest her soul), I worked above a shop that was being opened by her in Central London, took an immediate 'coffee break' to go down in the hope that i could see her in the flesh was amazed by her beauty and most of all her prescence, she did have a little time to say hello to me and shake my hand.. such a lovely lady and so very sadly missed. Have also met David Beckham, his wife lived up to her name 'posh' or should i say more like a snob, whereas he was really down to earth, a nice guy but a lil divvy.. maybe thats due to the fact he was playing for Man U in those days! (sorry northeners, no offence but i had to add it in). Met Jellybean (any old schoolers out there should remember him) at a club that I used to frequent near Soho, London. Any others i can't remember...
although a friend of mines husband fell asleep in the Queens bed (he's in the army and was moving furniture for some reason), he was tired and laid back... nodded off for a few! If i started on who i have been in connection in some way or other i'd be here all day... some of us have work to do!

I met Gloria Estefan, ironically while I was visiting friends in Amsterdam, and she was doing a meet & greet there to promote her new CD. She was extremely nice and down-to-earth and friendly, posing for pictures, and talked directly to you personally while she signed the CD's. Her husband, Emilio, visited and posed for pics with the crowd that was lined up waiting. They are both really nice people.

When I was a kid I met Don Johnson from Miami Vice and his wife Melanie I think her name was. Anyway I was surprised at how short he really is and she was the biggest snob I think I have ever met in my life. They came to our town for Police Week and my Uncle was a cop so I got to meet them.

He was working the room, doing his thing and you could tell that she couldn't wait to leave.

OMG OMG!!!! I envy you!

Diana was an inspiration, I adored her! I recall coming home from work- 8:30 ET, I turned on the radio. The DJ broke the pre designed format- music off. He announced there had been an accident. I kept hoping it was a prank. I vividly recall my burn orange bed spread- The world lost a great Lady/Princess. Im not big on class titles...we dont formally have a classs system in the US. A sad day and a HUGE loss indeed!!

My Grandparents had a maple drop leaf kitchen table- that they claimed was owned by president Kennedy. Nice piece of furniture.

I was briefly in films as an extra. I find the stars to be snotty-whiney-demanding, and mean. Judd Hirst of Taxi comes to mind.

When I am in Chicago, I have lunch with Micheal Jordans Interior designer. [try not to faint ..hehe]
