famous connections

[Babyjustrun]

basically, i'm wondering who you've met, or are connected with, that are celebrities. they could be family, they could be a friends family, they could be from your city, could have went to school with your parents, or you've met them...etc.

for example:
i won a contest on the radio to meet a local (Canadian) celebrity, Rex Goudie. i got his autograph, Melissa O'Neils autograph, i got to interview him.. and got a signed cd.

when we were going to universal the.. 28th of april we were almost ran over by chris brown's tour bus.

somehow my friend is related to Don Cherry.

Goldie Hawn and/or Kurt Russell might be in my city, and their son has met my friends dad. but this is a rumour, so i'm not sure.

ummm...my teacher has had lunch with the queen (along with about.. 50 other people)

my ex-friend might have a recording contract within a year (with an unknown record label xD)

I have three that I can think of and one I'm not too sure of. Of those I know for sure are: My grandmother on my dad's side was babysat by Sean Connery when she was 5 maybe 6. My mom went to the same high school as Canadian runner Donovan Bailey (though they never met, she was a couple grades higher). Finally my grandpa on my mom's side was in a elevator with Tony Bennet, and the maybe one is I think he also was once in the same elevator as Jodie Foster.

I think it's Bon Jovi who's from Mass...? Same state...I can't remember. I also met the host of the then-popular show "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"

well at a concert when I was like 7 I had one of the backstreet boys yell at me. (we were leaving and as we made it to the door he got our attention and asked "why are you leaving so early!?"

I thought that was neat.

and my best friend is related to dottie west who is buried in the grave yard next to my house.

I saw Martha Stewart about two weeks ago in nyc and all the cast of the today show also a dude that plays a doctor on Grey's Anatomy was on a feild trip with his daughter at the same museum we were in.My friend met him and I only got close enough to take a picture. My mom saw a member of Alabama at a Cracker Barrel. Some how I'm related to the skipper off of Gilligan's Island.That's about it.

Judy Garland. She's a great singer.

My cousin's have all the connections, he wants to be an actor and his family is very rich so they've met all the famous guy actors >_> I believe I have a few pictures but I won't paste them up for his safety

 

[dragonfly75]

My friends mom knows the drummer from Train. Apparently she got their demo CD before they were famous. =P

 

[GirlWithSpunk]

I dont anyone. Does that count?

 

[ohwow]

I met Teddy Geiger in animal kingdom this year when he was down for grad week!

 

[tinkerbelle22]

Oh God, most of the people I've met have been Broadway people, (from entire casts of shows, to individual people backstage) but I'll leave those out. As for connections, my grandma's doctor is Idina Menzel (of Wicked)'s uncle. He's been so gracious with letting us go backstage and meet her, and keep in contact with her. She's my idol, so this is cool for me My dad also gets to meet a lot of famous people through his job, people who I've sometimes met too, such as Regis Philbin, Kristie Alley, Beyonce, Celia Cruz (famous singer who died recently), and a lot of other Latin singers and actors. It's neat. There's probably a lot more, but my mind is drawing a blank!
