Anyone meet anyone thats famous?

I dated Barbara Streisands cousin. I met her when she did her last concert at Madison Sq. Garden in 2000. We had front row seats that were given by her.. I was surrounded by Rosie O'Donnell, Chevy Chase, Tony Bennet and Regis was sitting behind me! plus many more. That night I met Sara Jessica Parker and I went back stage to meet Barbara (and her husband). She was snotty. Also during my Debbie Gibson days lol lol I met her. I went to a concert at Westury Music Hall. I was able to go up on stage with her and dance. Pat Collins (from channel 9 news entertainment). I waitresses in her house while she was having a home party. i feel like im missing someone....if i remember i will postChat Icon

Re: Anyone meet anyone thats famous?

Jackie Mason- we were going to his broadway show, and we saw him get out of his limo so my grandfather went over and started kibitzing with him and he invited us backstage.

Buddy Hackett- in an elevator in Monte Carlo

Doug Geed (news 12)- sold him furniture...also some guy from the Jets, can't remember his name, he was new.

Not really famous, but Allison Stern a couple of times, once at my cousins batmitzfah (Howard didn't go), and once with her new DH at my grandmothers shiva. My aunt is friends with her.

Bobby Nystrom- He was at my sweet 16!

That's all I can think of...

Re: Anyone meet anyone thats famous?

I met Pat Morita (from the karate kid) in MGM Studios at Disney. I walked right past Steven Tyler of Aerosmith at the Bronx Zoo, and my ex-boyfriend shook his hand. I also met Dickey Barrett from that band The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and took a picture with him.

Kinda boring....Chat Icon

I met Howard Jones the singer when I was 19...I think that's it for people I've met.

I've seen Jerry Seinfeld in Montauk, Martha Stewart in East Hampton, Alec Baldwin at the US Open, but never spoke to any of them.

Re: Anyone meet anyone thats famous?

I met Steven Segal when I worked at the UA Movies inSI, he is the biggest jerk. I met his ex-wife Kelly LeBrock, she was nice. I met Tyne Daly, very very nice.

I met The Rock Chat Icon at his book signing, Derek Jeter, the entire yankee team of 2003 and Mariah Carey at a black tie affair for the Derek Jeter Foundation (my uncle collects all types of sports memorabilia and because he spent a lot of money using one company they invited him and 3 guests to the event)

Duran Duran-I met them a few ties in the 80's I knew what hotel they stayed at. And then where they recorded an album & lastly they had a record signing a year 1/2 ago.

George Michael-After his Diet Coke commercial which I was in the audience for we zoomed over to his hotel which we knew where he was staying & got to say hello)

Billy Idol-record signing
The Ramones-They played at my old school & I did backstage "security"

Cyndi Lauper-She was recording a record across the street from where Duran Duran was so I met both in the same week

Scott Ian (Anthrax)-Once at a Sam Kinision show & the other times at a rock club

Danger Danger (80's hair band)-Outside of the hotel waiting for Duran Duran (the day they got signed) & then became friends with them

Richard Marx-Record Signing

Howard Stern-VHS Signing

Jackie "the Jokeman" -He used to hang out in Jimmy's Comedy Alley in Bayside as did I

Nell Carter-Same hotel as Duran Duran (it was a BUSY) summer

Kenny G-Same hotel as Duran Duran

Martin Short-Same hotel as Duran Duran

Yasmin le Bon (model & wife to Simon le Bon)

Ace Frehley-At a club

Chaka Kahn-Same hotel as Duran Duran

Re: Anyone meet anyone thats famous?

About 10 years ago,I used to run black tie dinners & golf tournaments, so I've met a slew of celebrities, politician, professional athletes. Here's a list of ones off th etop of my head that people may or may not recognize depending on how old they are:

Buddy Hackett
Joe Pesce
Bob Hope
John Denver
Bill & Hillary Clinton & other senators, ambassadors, etc.
Madeleine Korbel Albright
Yogi Berra
George Steinbrenner - we also did his Christmas party (not the Yankee one, his personal one)
Lee Iacocca, Lillian Vernon & lots of well known business guys
Derek Jeter & a bunch of other Yankees
Steven Seagal - complete jerk I agree
Mark Messier & a slew of other Rangers with complicated Russian last names
Eli & Marion Weisel
Trump & all his wives
Arnold Palmer & a ton of other pro golfers

Ok I just realized I've probably named way too many - let's just say I've met a lot. Oh also know Mariah Carey & Christina Harnos (she was on ER in the beginning) from HS.

Coolest celebrity was Pesce (who didn't think he'd be able to get into the Bob Hope tournament & when I said "They'll recognize you." remembered he was famous) & Lee Iacocca (who made me a ham sandwich at his house & gave us his personal tickets to the tournament).

Complete jerks - the ones that hit on me & were married, the ones that persisted after I said I was happy with my boyfriend & Steve Segal who's only saving grace was his cool family.

etd. bc i named too many
