View Full Version : Your 15 seconds of fame starts now...
GeauxTigersGo 11-04-2005, 12:46 PM Most of us will never truly be famous. But maybe you've had a brush with stardom or possess a really strange talent. Post your stories here.
Here's mine:
I used to work out in the same gym as -drum roll- Britney Spears. Think of a small, dark place with smelly men - lol! I never saw her there (have other places) but she did get my husband to turn on the tanning bed for her I just don't know how to turn it on! :rolleyes:
So that's my story - what's yours?
Chele 11-04-2005, 01:15 PM My most famous encounter was when I met Keeanu Reeves :).
During my college days, one of my jobs was working in a restaurant. During breaks, I would go outside to sit on a bench and enjoy the sunshine. (Kind of like sitting in Central Plaza in VMK, lol) It was during one of these breaks that a red pick up truck pulled up and this really good looking man got out. I kept looking at him because he looked really familiar but couldn't place him. Kind of like, I know you, but how?? Turned out he needed directions to another restaurant in the area (which I gave him). He then sat down next to me on the bench and we had a wonderful conversation about random things for about 20 minutes. The entire time, I could still not place him.
When I finally returned to the restaurant, everybody had their noses pressed against the windows watching me and Keeanu; totally in shock. When they finally told me who he was, I almost fainted. How could I have not known it was him? I guess part of the reason that he stayed to talk to me was because I didn't act like a screaming fan and demand an autograph. Had I known . . .
Incidentally, this restaurant was a very popular restaurant in the Baltimore area before it closed. Many player contracts and deals for the Ravens and the Orioles were made and signed there. At the time I worked there, I knew most of the Orioles players, their wives and kids on a first name basis.
captain_dl 11-04-2005, 01:32 PM 1. We used to bowl on a league. There was a kid's league that bowled on the same lanes before ours. One of the dads with a kid in the kid's league was Evander Holifield (the boxer). We used to see him every week. And a few times his friend "MC Hammer" was with him.
2. I used to work in the security field. Once I was tasked with a special assignment of working at the Carter Presidential Library. I had to sign in all the secret service agents and log the weapons they were carrying. While on a break, I was reaching for the coffee pot and there was President Jimmy Carter. We made small talk in the break room and he went on to his presentation. And I went back to work.
3. Again working security, this time as Director of Security for a large office tower, I was able to provide help for the secret service and got to ride in an elevator with (at the time) presidental candidate Bob Dole. I was even briefed on the proper way to shake his left hand and to ignore the pen in his right hand. I was also given a secret service lapel pin for helping that day which I still wear to this day.
Schmoofy 11-04-2005, 01:37 PM Okay,everyone knows WDW is the happiest place on earth. Well many celebs think that as well. My dad got into a fight with many of those celebs workers.
1-DCL-Mariah Carey wanted our room with the ocean view,my dad fought for us to keep our room,even when he was offered 10,000 to give the room he didnt.
2-WDW-We got held up on the WDW railroad b/c some famous celeb was entering the park and had to make it special w/ no noise. Well after an hour we had to get off,and we got to meet the GlobeTrotters. Little did I know who they were when I was 3 years old.
3-Angelina Jolie @ WDW my last trip-She was staying at the Comtemporary in the floor above us,found that way cool.
Poseidon 11-04-2005, 07:36 PM I was at MacArthur airport, and saw Chevy Chase. I just said hello, and leff. :)
I saw Mick Foley at a Stony Brook Seawolves Basketball game...
And last but not least, saw STEVEN TYLER, a.k.a., my Idol (He's in Aerosmith), walking down the Boardwalk. I just told him I loved his music, and said it was great to meet him. I didn't ask for an autograph, he seemed quite rushed.
Stunt 11-07-2005, 11:26 PM I was working at a club on South Beach and had this guy come up and order a drink from me. Turned out it was George Clooney. He was also with the guy from True Lies (Arnold's pal) and Tommy Boy (one of the cops), the Arabic looking guy.
I went to Italy last summer and had to wait outside to get back into my hotel because Bruce Willis and Julia Roberts were in the lobby filming a scene for Oceans Twelve. Later that night at dinner, a huge crowd started running toward the resturaunt. I turned around and it was Brad Pitt and George Clooney with a bunch of random people [security?] walking in.
PinkTinkPixie 11-08-2005, 02:01 AM I've never met anyone famous, but I have a friend who's uncle is a director, and he won an Oscar. She also has a sister who does broadway, and her aunt was voted the BEST NURSE IN THE U.S. and got an award from the President (who she met).
QueenCourt 11-08-2005, 02:09 AM My best friends dad is in 4him! And when we lived in Orlando we always sat with the stars!
Oathkeeper 11-08-2005, 02:11 AM Okay, well I'm doing stories of ME being famous!
1) I have modeled! .. snorkling gear! Lol, I was at Hawaii with my family, and my sister, me, and my mom were walking to some chairs at the pool, and this random lady asks my mom, "Can I borrow your son?" My mom asked WHAT really loudly, and the lady replies, "Oh, I work for Aqua Zone, and we're shooting some photos of family snorkling class. Oh, we can use your daughter too, if that's okay, ma'am." My mom let her, and we posed with our gear underwater with some random people we never met that was supposed to be our family.
The pictures didn't turn out, but we got free T-Shirts! Huzzah!
2) I was on the Hawaii news [same trip, too!]. We were at the Galleria mall in Waikiki, and they were shooting photos of the Ms. Hawaii contestants, and when they were done peopel could come up and take pictures. Well, we saw the news crew down there filming, so we tok pictures with the ladies, and my sister and I were on the news!
Kaironzet 11-08-2005, 02:14 AM Well, I don't have much encounters you might find as famous, since famous people down here is not known over there. But I have been speaking with very famous musicians, actors and soccer players...
The only person some of you might recognize is Diego Armando Maradona. Personally, I think he has been the world's greatest soccer player but well, I think his way of thinking is completely wrong, I don't agree with anything at all he thinks but, still, he's the greatest soccer player and I was able to speak a long while with him :)
xxChevelleAddict 11-08-2005, 02:16 AM My friend, Emily, has a dad in the FBI. It's rather cool, but I've never seen him before. Em just says he's an FBI agent. So who knows, maybe he'll have to arrest some crazy actor (Jim Carrey...) and then I might be with them.. and who knows. I could possibly get someone's autograph someday. ;)
LittleJoe 11-08-2005, 02:21 AM When i was little I went to the train station with my parents and they were filming a movie about a train there and we got to stand and be extras. I don't remember the name of the movie. I think something about a train robbery. Once after going to a restaurant, we walked over to another part of the parking lot and we were in a commercial. I never saw the commercial on tv. I don't know if it aired. I don't know if I showed up in the movie. I don't know how well it did. :) I also think i have been on the news. When there was news people at the park near my house, my sister and I ran up there to be on the news and I was like directly behind where the lady was, so I think I got on without knowing it. :)
Signalcorps 11-08-2005, 02:28 AM Well when I was younger I made a couple of appearances on a kids show on a channel that nobody watches. Well almost nobody, I have had a few friends come up to me and say they saw me on T.V.
And for my Disneyland celebrity encounter:
I was just coming out of the restroom that is just inside DCA and my sister comes up to me screaming, "get your camera out". Well it turns out that Kobe Bryant was just leaving DCA and walking over to Disneyland, so I got my digital camera out and got a few pictures of the back of his head. Then I rushed out of the park and got like 30 seconds of video of his entourage walking into Disneyland. It's pretty funny because at the end you see one of his security guys furiously waving his jacket at me.
cenafan10 11-08-2005, 02:37 AM I met famous ppl
BestOfMe_VMKer 11-08-2005, 02:44 AM I met the Paul Newman guy (great actor, person on the salad dressing and organic food.) He was shooting Empire Falls mini move at my cousins restraunt and I snuck out back where the trailer was and I went up to the police dude and asked if I could Paul Newman some money for his charity he went insider suddenly Paul came out and was a very nice old man. Like a grandpa:wave2:
I also came close to meeting Helen Hunt but before I could go say Hi to her and tell her the movies she is in are funny she went into her trailer
lilcrunchycheetoz 11-08-2005, 02:48 AM Well when I was younger I made a couple of appearances on a kids show on a channel that nobody watches. Well almost nobody, I have had a few friends come up to me and say they saw me on T.V.

How funny! lol I would have love to meet kobe bryant well more like my dad though. I have "accidentally" met kirsten dunst while in line at disneyland haunted mansion. She was wearing sunglasses as all stars do. She was like 2 feet away from me! :D
Teyla 11-08-2005, 03:20 AM Oh yes, my little 15 "seconds" with stars...
1) Right, for those of you who watch Trading Spaces/Trading Spaces Family you should know Carter, right? Anyways... My parents got me to go to The Home and Garden show because he was there. Anyways, he gave us somelittle inside things about Trading Spaces and what not... I asked him a question in open question time and then it came for him to sign stuff/take pictures with the people. Anyways, I don't recall taking a wicture with him, but when we got up there he recognized me from the question time and we talked oh for maybe two or three minutes max... probably less... about the show, he signed my program (on the program it said <my name>, thanks for watching! -Carter). It was fun, and he was really nice :).
2. So, now, different Home and Garden show, different star. This would be Evan Farmer. Yea, the host of While you were out. So anyways, he was pretty nice, I asked him about the episode when he kidnapped or more pignapped the owner of the house's pig so that he (the owner of the house) would get the little questions right, he said that stealing a pig was hard work (LOL!). He jumped from topic to topic a lot (O__o), so it was kinda hard to follow what he was saying, but it was all good, he too was really nice. Yes, I got his autograph but it wasn't personalized like Carter's.
3. I'm sure not many of you have heard of The Firehouse stompers, and that's ok because before I met them (*shifts eyes nervously*), I had no clue who they were either. They're a really cool band, and had some great music (great clarinet parts :D), and it was a really great show. I got to ask them questions and what not, and got THE WHOLE BAND'S autographs... yea that was fun :)
Anyways, just my glimpses of fame :)
-Teyla
PinkTinkPixie 11-08-2005, 03:41 AM Oh yeah! I don't know if any of you have heard of her, but I saw Jennifer Kirk (figure skater) at a skating show.
I was preforming in a Christmas Ice Show, and she was one of the guest stars in it! My friend and I went up to where she was, but it was blocked off. We really wanted an autograph!!
SparkleMeTink 11-08-2005, 05:06 AM My brother dated Valerie Bertinelli(who is now married to Eddie VanHalen) many, many years ago. This is when she first started her career and was on "One Day at a Time". She is a very sweet person.
Also, not too long ago, I worked for Light and Sound Design...they supply lighting equipment for concerts, etc. My husband and I got an opportunity to be "Seat warmers" for Barbra Streisand's "Timless" concert...was up close and personal with a whole bunch of stars. It was very cool. :)
BiggameJ 11-08-2005, 05:26 AM Many of you might not know who Eric Turner is but I have met him. He was a professional football player for the Raiders. I went to the same "Day Care" as his son, Eric Turner Jr., when I was little so I got to see him many times, and I guess talk to him in the way a 5 year old does :) .
Sadly, he died several years ago from some illness (I forget), but will always be my best known famous person. :(

MamaJo 11-08-2005, 10:28 AM Well we are know that when you work for Disney you do come in contact with big name stars. I was working at DisneyQuest as an animator, teaching guests how to draw the Disney stars, and I have had quite a number of celebs take my class: Leonardo DeCaprio-Chevy Chase-George Lucas-Tim Allen-Jill Ireland-the crown prince of Saudi Arabia-Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker from Episodes IV, V and VI). I've also met many wrestlers (Undertaker, Mick Foley, Eddie Guerero, John Cena, Booker T, Farquooq, Bradshaw, the Hardy Boys, Steven Richards, Lita, Rob VanDam, and many many more.

cavowonder 11-08-2005, 01:39 PM 1) A while back we were asked to write patriotic poems for our class. Most people were doing those acrostic poems( I think that is what they are called), but being as I have to be different from everyone, I wrote a short (and in my opinion, poorly written) poem.My teacher loved the poem, so she sent it to the news( I have no i dea why). It actually aired and Iould not believe it! Everyone congratulated me on making the news.
2)My Dad met Arnold Schwarzenegger. When he went to Bosnia for the Army, Arnold came down to greet the soldiers. He was going to take a photo with one, so he took my dad. He got a signed autograph for me.

Haydenfan 11-10-2005, 07:46 AM My 1/0 seconds in fame...
well for my B-Day this year me,my family and my best friend in the whole world went to disneyland and spent the night.Even though the beds where the hardest things u could ever sleep on at the disneyland hotel and the pool was closed and it rained during the snow white play there was one thing that made my day.You see me and my friend where walking down main street going to our fave place too eat....The Plaza Inn.But I happened to notice that there was a set like someone was doing in interveiw on top of The Plaza Inn.Then when we got back home my mom told me one reason why there was a set on top of the building........My mom saw Nick Lachey one of the cutest guys on earth at downtown disney!
smilezlie 11-10-2005, 08:39 AM i dont want to brag but im a celeb magnet. seriously, if there is a celeb somewhere i will run into them. esp in disney! i normally dont say anything just cuz they are there to have fun. i have plenty more. lol.
i was talking with my friend who was working a glow cart at DLR on mainstreet. i saw this gorgeous guy and started staring. .5 secs later i realized it was dean from gilmore girls. he did the head nod thing and smiled. then went to frontier land, turned around and winked at me. ::swoon::
i hurt my knee and had a special assistance pass at DLR. i took the elevator to the monorail platform before they let people up. turns out the monorail broke down for like 20 mins. this family in front of us looked familiar, esp the 2 platinum blonde girls. turns out it was nikki and paris hilton, their parents, brothers, and friends family. shocking i could tell because this was before paris became "popular". ended up on the monorail in same car w/ them.
my personal fave story:
i was in DCA with my friend in the animation building right before it closed. these 2 guys come in, one is good looking but familiar. i was too far to get a good look. the park closed and we exited behind this guy. we realized it was John Stamos (aka uncle jesse from full house, disneyland FANATIC and regular).
we go into disneyland and he stops between parks to have a smoke. we go on the matterhorn, as we get out of line he shows up going to ride the matterhorn! later on we are heading out of the restrooms in adventureland and he shows up to use the restrooms! it was like HE was stalking US!
later on we were walking at DTD and hes sitting at the bar by build a bear. and finally he ends up behind us as we go to leave to our car!
a few months later my friend and i were at DCA, had sat down ordering lunch at the italian place. they had just brought our food when i spot him with his wife just showing up for a beverage tasting/tour. he saw me and started staring and whispering to his wife and pointing. it was hilarious! he remembered me.....
and lastly i used to work at build a bear a while back, over by his favorite bar and im looking out the window at work and i see him again!
my conclusion? john stamos is stalking ME!
Norbie 11-10-2005, 08:45 AM Early last summer we were checking in at the front desk at the Contemporary Resort in WDW. Quite suddenly, a beautiful woman and a small girl walked up to the desk about two cast members down. Several of the management appeared out of no where to greet her, and I noticed that she was recieving quite the "red carpet" treatment, but in a quiet manner. She seemed strangely familiar to me. The next day, we saw a small stage had been constructed near the lake area in the rear of the Contemporary. It's theme... Pirates! I then remembered where I had seen that woman's photo before... it was Johnny Depp's wife ! (and i am assuming the small girl was his youngest child) Later that day, I asked a cast member that we knew at the front desk what the stage had been there for and she told me that they shot a small promo piece for the next POTC movie. I also found out that Johnny Depp and Kiara Knightly had both been guests in the hotel during our stay there.
GenieOfLamp 11-26-2005, 07:35 AM I JUST REMEMBERED! I went to Canada to visit some friends a little while ago and we went to Whistler. While walking around, we saw a video camera filming someone walking up to the camera. Who was that someone? Well it was none other than the Cambell Soup guy! He wasn't filming a soup ad though, I think he was filming his travel show.

sealy 12-04-2005, 01:34 AM UH.. hmm... never saw any1 famous or anything, but today i was in a parade!!
the crowd loved our dance center!! Woot!! :xmas17:
Mikailah 12-04-2005, 01:57 AM Oh wow I love this thread. XD It's awesome to read about how people have met celebrities. It's very interesting. :] Now for my celebrity encounters.
1) Well, I've had not only a 15 second brush with fame, but a 3 hour one, LOL. That was when I met Ryan Seacrest. He came to host this telethon at a hotel around here - and I just had to go because I'm in love with Ryan Seacrest. XD So the the first hour we were there, he comes out and does his talking to the camera. When they cut to a commercial break, I called out "Hi Ryan!" (I was standing near the camera) So he turns his head, smiles, and comes over! I was seriously ******** out by then because Ryan Seacrest came to me. XD So we took some pictures, and had a very short chat because tons of other girls came rushing to meet Ryan. Then he had to leave, but he said he would come back soon.
Second hour - I saw a bunch of people waiting outside this door to a room, so I decide to check out what was going on. Turns out they were all waiting for Ryan to come out of his room. So I decided to wait there as well. I eventually realized I completely forgot to get his autograph, so that's why I waited there. When he came out, I asked him for his autograph, and he some more pictures with me.
Third hour - he was hosting the talent show part of the telethon. He recognized me in the audience and waved. I waved back. We had to leave because it was getting late, and for goodness sake we had already been there for 3 hours straight. This was definitely the one of the best days of my life!
2) I've met most of the idols from American Idol Season 4 after their concert, including Carrie Underwood, Anthony Fedorov (oh such a cutie! lol), Constantine Maroulis, Bo Bice, etc.
3) I met Christy Carlson Romano (from Even Stevens) when she performed in the broadway musical Beauty and the Beast in NYC. :]
4) Ok, this isn't my experience, but my dad saw Harrison Ford "disguised" walking in NYC.
5) James Taylor. He comes to our school every once in a while.
LittleBubbles 12-04-2005, 02:18 AM my brother was on TV a couple of times xD he has talked to Lindsey Lohan because his like best friend has a band. i think he has her s/n too xD and...they went to L.A. over the summer to talk to Warner Bro.s about a deal for the band's songs to go on some TV show things or something...i dont know xD
ive never met someone famous, but i hope to be famous one day ;)
WDWFutureGirl 12-04-2005, 02:42 AM Most of us will never truly be famous. But maybe you've had a brush with stardom or possess a really strange talent. Post your stories here.
Here's mine:
I used to work out in the same gym as -drum roll- Britney Spears. Think a small, dark place with smelly men - lol! I never saw her there (have other places) but she did get my husband to turn on the tanning bed for her I just don't know how to turn it on! :rolleyes:
So that's my story - what's yours?
I Am Going to Be Famous You'll She.You Won't Stop Me :hug:

camara 12-04-2005, 05:22 AM everybody remember the little girl from the parot polly movie ( guessing title) and the pepsi commercials. well i did not really ge to meet her but i was standing next to her in a target. she was with some lady so i did not want to bother her. funny thing was she was in some tv movie the night b4 that, lol.
also, i am pretty sure in universal studios, in the fifal ( guess name) the mouse little play area thing, there was somebody who looked exactly like this man who played hercules in this short time tv series. my dad denied it when i said it was him after he shook his hand, but i still remember his face.
Thrax 12-04-2005, 05:33 AM 1) I saw a Disney commercial being made at Disneyland involving a dog with mickey ears run somewhere through the park.
2) I have been to Keena Turner's house (the retired 49er player)
bigZZ 12-04-2005, 05:57 AM hmm well i hit on hillary duff, only cause she started talking to me at disney, she just came up and just started small talk and stuff like that, i was taken aback but got my compser(i cant spell)and we talked for a while she said bye and gave me a kiss on the cheek, haha beat that someone!! lol and i was in the news for contotionist things, was in the news also for winning invention convention. and I story that i just have to tell
there was a news channel at the columbus zoo when i was theree and there were filming, so i go behind the camera and "break" my arm, i can twist my forearm out of the joint with the elbow and bend it, it looks like a broken arm, and i did that behind the camera and the camera dude just fliped, i was laughing so hard, but he started to get mad so i ran lol, my 15 minutes of fame(or as the camera guy thought)pain.
EyeBrowKid 12-04-2005, 06:28 AM 1. When I went to WDW a couple of years ago for vacation, my family and I were in line for Big Thunder. While waiting in line, I see Dennis Quade (The Rookie and The Day After Tomorrow) and his son walking on the other side of the line the opposite way I was walking. I was only an arms length away from him.
2. As some of you know Tom Cruise and Katie are engaged. Well, a person I know works at the company who sold the pregnancy machine to Tom Cruise. She didn't know who she was selling it to, and the person who ordered it for Tom and Katie just said it was for a wealthy person in Hollywood. The person I know found out that the person who ordered it was Tom Cruise, because a family member of mine told her that Tom just bought one of the machines. She was shocked that he was the one who bought it, because the person who ordered it asked if someone could help them with the machine and give them (Tom and Katie) training with it.

Lol, I was at Hawaii with my family, and my sister, me, and my mom were walking to some chairs at the pool, and this random lady asks my mom, "Can I borrow your son?" My mom asked WHAT really loudly, and the lady replies, "Oh, I work for Aqua Zone, and we're shooting some photos of family snorkling class. Oh, we can use your daughter too, if that's okay, ma'am." My mom let her, and we posed with our gear underwater with some random people we never met that was supposed to be our family.

Chocomoose 01-31-2006, 06:07 PM Well my aunt and uncle have "connections". I've met two govenors and three candidates.
xxChevelleAddict 02-01-2006, 12:07 AM i dont want to brag but im a celeb magnet. seriously, if there is a celeb somewhere i will run into them. esp in disney! i normally dont say anything just cuz they are there to have fun. i have plenty more. lol.
i was talking with my friend who was working a glow cart at DLR on mainstreet. i saw this gorgeous guy and started staring. .5 secs later i realized it was dean from gilmore girls. he did the head nod thing and smiled. then went to frontier land, turned around and winked at me. ::swoon::
i hurt my knee and had a special assistance pass at DLR. i took the elevator to the monorail platform before they let people up. turns out the monorail broke down for like 20 mins. this family in front of us looked familiar, esp the 2 platinum blonde girls. turns out it was nikki and paris hilton, their parents, brothers, and friends family. shocking i could tell because this was before paris became "popular". ended up on the monorail in same car w/ them.
my personal fave story:
i was in DCA with my friend in the animation building right before it closed. these 2 guys come in, one is good looking but familiar. i was too far to get a good look. the park closed and we exited behind this guy. we realized it was John Stamos (aka uncle jesse from full house, disneyland FANATIC and regular).
we go into disneyland and he stops between parks to have a smoke. we go on the matterhorn, as we get out of line he shows up going to ride the matterhorn! later on we are heading out of the restrooms in adventureland and he shows up to use the restrooms! it was like HE was stalking US!
later on we were walking at DTD and hes sitting at the bar by build a bear. and finally he ends up behind us as we go to leave to our car!
a few months later my friend and i were at DCA, had sat down ordering lunch at the italian place. they had just brought our food when i spot him with his wife just showing up for a beverage tasting/tour. he saw me and started staring and whispering to his wife and pointing. it was hilarious! he remembered me.....
and lastly i used to work at build a bear a while back, over by his favorite bar and im looking out the window at work and i see him again!
my conclusion? john stamos is stalking ME!
Oh. :( The John Stamos story. It can't be true. :( John Syamos doesn't have a wife. I read it in a magazine, he's one of the 40 hottest bachelors (sp?). I must admit though, he might have been married then, but then got a divorce. But I don't know. All I DO know though, is that he's single.
reekster 02-01-2006, 02:19 AM The only thing that I can think of is that I have a friend who is in a band called Through You. It's not a big-time band, but they've toured a few times. They're really good, and I wouldn't be surprised if the band becomes famous some day. He's the drummer. That's pretty much it.
Appleson 02-01-2006, 02:24 AM i know she's not that famous anymore, but i remember that my sister's best friend was throwing a party and lalaine paras (she played miranda on that lizzie mcguire show) was there. that's the only time i've actually talked to a famous person.
Chaelle 02-01-2006, 02:26 AM I saw the guy on who wants to be a millionare? at WDW! I was trying so hard to be filmed on one of the cameras in the very back, but I would of probably tripped on the camera people. :O
~Chaelle
EDIT Someday my parents may move me to the school that Johnny Depp used to go to for High School (I'm not saying where though)
Bell Fan 02-01-2006, 02:55 AM uh i met Gray Davis in church lol and shook his hand.

AwesomeTom 02-17-2006, 09:36 PM This was awesome. I was at the airport and I had just returned from DisneyWorld, and there is this guy next to me and I just stare at him. I figure out he was actor who played Herb in Miracle ( The Disney Movie ). He got on the same bus as us and gave me an autograph. He was the coolest :)
swimmingemma49 02-17-2006, 09:43 PM Hmm... a few months ago I met Dennis Leary at a recording studio in NYC.
What were you doing in a recording studio in NYC? I hear you ask (well not really, but lol. :)) It's because I'm in a movie! Ice Age 2! My dad works for Blue Sky (the company that makes it), and they needed extra voices, so my brother, sister and I are going to be in the movie! Just our voices though, and I'm not going to be in it a lot because I sound too "old".
:) And I was in Lilo and Stitch. I said two of Lilo's lines and some background stuff. My best friend does some Myrtle Evan's lines. It's hysterical to watch. :)
DFreak1989 02-17-2006, 10:10 PM My biggest is that I went to the All American Rejects Concert and my friends and I played a text message game to get a chance to meet the band. Anyway we won and we got to meet them all, they were really nice but really tired. It was awesome. That and I also tried out for American Idol. no TV time for me though.
WDWTigger72 02-17-2006, 10:20 PM There have been many sports celebrities throughout the years I have been fortunate enough to meet. One particular person I met was Mario Lemieux (Pittsburgh Penguins) who was my sports idol growing up...Luckily playing ice hockey most of my life we knew many people, and one family friend was a sports reporter for a local newspaper. This family friend brought me into the Boston Bruins locker room where I met many players, and also brought me to the visiting team room for me to meet Mario Lemieux. What an experience! Four different high school teammates have gone into the NHL, which I do not want to mention their names, but they also played at one time for the United States Hockey Team during the Olympics...One peron still plays today his fifth appearence there.
One other quick story which people might enjoy...One of my coworkers who actually sits pretty close to me and I talk to everyday. Her daughter actually won the gold medal during the olympics in Nagano Japan. The event is called "Inverted Aerial Skiing"...Actually, You can check out her performance "Inverted Aerial Skiing (http://www.nikkistone.com/)". Hope you all enjoy she writes articles for this olympics for Yahoo...Thought people might like this...
