Celebrity Encounter Stories

[n_huffhines]

So my sister lives the high life in NYC, constantly meeting cool people, but it's to the point that I'm getting very jealous.

Her friend works on a few projects behind the scenes with Woody Harrelson. So my sister got to meet him last week. They had a group of friends and got plastered. She had Woody laughing so hard he made his assistant write down the joke. Now she's just texted saying they hung out again this weekend, and this time Will Ferrell was there.

Anybody else have cool stories?

Woody is seriously one of my favorite celebrities. Seems like the real Woody is a laid back, less redneck version of Tallahassee (Zombieland).

Kevin Durant
Reggie Wayne
Thurman Thomas
Rampage Jackson
Aaron Neville

I met Jim Breuer at a hotel in Atlanta right before the 2002 Peach Bowl.

Or it might have just been a guy that looked like Jim Breuer.

My cousin is a powerful agent, so I have met some of her clients. Also interned at CAA so you see celebs all day.

I got to meet George Carlin backstage after his act in St. Joe, Mo.

Dated the cousin of Steve Walsh of the band Kansas. She got us backstage passes for their last concert before Steve went solo. Met the group Loverboy, who was the opening act.

I was in NYC staying at the same hotel as the guys the NFL picked to be there for the draft a few years ago. I seen Glen Dorsey posing in the lobby with his #1 Chiefs jersey. Being a lifelong Chiefs fan I introduced my wife and I to him. Turns out he was on the same floor as us. His family and crew were partying pretty hard in the hallway. He seen me and invited us to join them. Good times. Rode the elevator with comedian Henry Cho there too. I asked him "whats that clickin noise?" Told him we were from Knoxville too.

My mother's second cousin lives in California and her cousin's family is really good friends with John Travolta, Kelly Preston, and their family. Both families have gone to Hawaii together on Travolta's private jet and they have get togethers a lot. It's interesting.

LOL, she's actually kind of famous in her own right. She has 2 blogs, and one of them gets like 5,000 hits a day. She traveled 2000 miles to visit us when my wife was sick with cancer and our nurse said to my sister, "I don't mean to freak you out, but I read your blog."

This happens to her all the time.

dated a country singer's daughter in college. Met quite a few people in Nashville. Tim Mcgraw was probably the most fun to hang out with

Me too!

Well, that would take the anonymity out of it, plus render me subject to comments about my sister's looks.

 

[shelbyvillevol]

I was the inspiration for the Taylor Swift song 'Teardrops on my Guitar'.

 

[Billy Costigan]

It would probably be easier for me to name celebrities I haven't met.
