Celebrities and Athletes you've met...

Postby SixFlagsTexas » Fri Jul 29, 2005 7:16 pm

I've seen/met quite a few. Some Dallas Cowboys and Mavericks live in Plano, TX.

Jessica Simpson - Sang for a store opening behind my neighborhood, and she also sang at my church before she became famous as well.
Troy Aikman - local grocery stores
Micheal Finley - local stores/restaurants
Shawn Bradley - local grocery stores
Rafael Palmeiro - Dallas Galleria Mall
I've also met and talked to quite a few Texas Rangers.
And I personally know two well-known news anchors and weatherman here in the Dallas area.
Unbiased. Unprejudiced. Fair.

Geeze, where to begin....
Off the top of my head...
Amy Grant, Rosie O'donnel, Micheal Jackson, David Faustino, Nipsy Russel, J.J. Walker, Charles Robinson, Willie Nelson, Debra Gibson, various music, movie, and broadway stars, etc...

I lived in Vegas for 5 years and met too many celebs in my work to remember. (I can't divulge the circumstances, sorry.) Gibson I met backstage at a concert, I parked Amy Grant's car at Kennywood, I had a couple celebs live in the same building as me for a couple years, (condo/primary home for me, it was their vacation rentals... one of them a "friend".)

Now if I can only meet that one celeb that "discovers" me. LOL
I'll have a Skyy-sour with a lime and cherry, shaken, please... :)

Living where I live and working where I work, a whole fudging lot of them. Most of the time I don't really care and just sort of leave them alone. The only I've been starstruck was when I saw Johnny Depp DRESSED as Captain Jack on the studio lot in March. That was awesome.

There's no one famous here except I have caught J. Timberlake once, and some other people on the riverfront.

She was quite nice too, she signed a gold record for me. Very personable. There's actually a concert video floating around from her "Electric Youth" tour, I'm in it. :)
