My cousin is a Broadway dancer. He is nobody you would have heard of but he says he is big in Korea:rotfl2: .

I went to the same high school as Joe Montana. I am not related to him but my best friend is his cousin. He was in her wedding. It is funny to see someone from your hometown (population 4500) make it big. I still remember all the childhood stories she would tell about him. We were filmed at her sister's house when the super bowl pre-show broadcast live from there in the 80's.

My husband was recently on HotRod TV, and he will (most likely) be on the upcoming DIY show "Burt Reynolds Builds a Bandit." He was also pictured in the Nov. issue of High Performance Pontiac magazine. He is my very own personal celebrity :love:

Not a relation, but more of a six-degrees-of-separation type thing.

My second-cousin is an exec for Kodak, so she goes all over the place doing stuff for them and for movies. She's gotten my great aunt and uncle tickets to the AI finale, movie premiers, she's met most of the cast of the Lord of the Rings series, too. I think that's pretty cool.

And my mom's friend works in the same building as Adam Sandler's PR company, so he gets neat stuff sometimes.

I convinced my best friend in fourth grade that I was related to Shaq.
Does that count?

By the way....I'm white.
XD She's pretty gullible.

Oh, and my mom went to school with Jerry Seinfeld.

And my cousin's friend was in a movie with Nicholas Cage.
He was his son, JJ or something, in that World Trade Center movie, the 9/11 one.
I can't remember the name of the movie though.

Yep.
One of my grandma's cousin's is Norman Lloyd.
He played the professor in "In Her Shoes" that helped Cameron Diaz's character learn how to read.

He was also on St. Elsewhere in the 80s. and a whole bunch of other things - mostly from the 50s - 80s.

Friend relations count right?

Well our friend's sister is the keyboard player in the New Young Pony Club (if you've ever heard of the band...)

oo and our other friend (or my sister's godfather... i think. He's either theirs or mine) used to bodyguard Princess Margeret :)

oo then we're friends with Kenny Samson and his family (some retired footballer/soccer player)

nobody in the family but friend relations is all we have :p

I LOVE THEM! :D

Not related, but Edward Norton went to the high school I was going to go to, before I got redistricted. A lot of my friends go there though. Does that count?
oh! Also not related, but my dad took a college class with Vanessa Williams.
haha, thats all I got.

He lived like down the street from me when he was a kid, but that was way before my time. Therefore, my bestfriends mom, has met and grew up with Johnny Depp.

Levi Strauss for me. He is very VERY distant cousin of mine. Kids at school make a big deal about it when they wear some of his clothes.

I would love to be related to any member from the band Journey. They have such great music.

That's cool! :thumbsup2 I met her too, actually because my grandma and her uncle are great friends. He's a podiatrist, and she's been going to him for years. My grandma and I always joke around because he used to flirt with her a lot before she married my step-grandpa and before he got married, and we're like, "If only you married him...then I'd be related to Idina Menzel!" So yeah. That's a fun conversation starter :rolleyes:

And disneychick, I don't want to give away our last name, but his first name is Pablo. He looks like he would be African American (he's Latin though) :)

My friend James is in the the new Disney movie Enchanted. He's just a background character, but he's in it. He was also on Broadway in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

I'm not related to anybody famous, but a lot of the people around me have become famous.

I went to Elementary school and some of middle school with Jordan Pruitt. We were in a play together (she played Cinderella).

One of my friends was one of the basketball kids in the movie Rebound.

I also live in the same small town Diana Degarmo from American Idol came from.

He's really big in chinaa.

Some person asked my pop-pop "How does it feel to be the father of a world famous artist?" and he said "Uhh.. good" and then he said to my mom-mom " i didnt know he was!!":rotfl:

He did this porto potty in times square where you cant see in, but you can see out! And this thing where you went to like the top floor of this really high building and you get strapped onto the platform and you get pushed out of a window (NOT LIKE THROWN OUT OF IT THATS WHAT I THOUGHT AT FIRST WHEN MY MOM WAS TELLING ME :rotfl: )and pulled back in.
