    Yeah, a friend had tickets to one of his concerts. When people found out that he was playing only his Jazz selections and not his "crooning" stuff they left. People were sooo rude and left one by one when they decided they didn't want to watch jazz. Security came up to us in our far far away seats and asked if we'd like to follow them to closer seats we said YES! Little did we know they'd put us front row, center! What a night. I went out and bought one of his Jazz CDs the next day. This was years ago, at the height of his crooning popularity. I think his jazz is BETTER than his crooning. You can tell its what is closest to his heart, his passion.

    Hmmm, I've probably seen more than I know about...I never recognize anyone! David's always saying, "Did you see that guy/girl? He/She was in that one movie/show!"

    I've met Pauly Shore, seen Pierce Brosman, Heather Locklier locally. I've seen many celebs at the Laker games too.

    I'm not really into stars. I don't understand the facination with people on TV/movies. I prefer people that are famous for their works, like Maya Angelou who I saw a few years back.

    I know...I'm wierd.

    I'm so jealous TOM SKEERIT he is so sexy!!!!!!!
    Then you might be happy to know he's a really nice guy. We were sad when he finished filming, he came in and said good bye and told us how much he enjoyed stopping into our store every morning. He was surprisingly a little on the shy side, but like I said very nice. He also tipped very well!

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    Jana Stanfield, Chris Botti, many NASCAR drivers, everybody in 2004 PGA. I don't really get excited about anybody famous. They are just another person to me. Usually I don't even recognize famous people and if you say their name I'm just as confused (exceptions for rock and metal groups and NASCAR).

    I feel the same way, which is probably why I've never met any celebs and don't really care if I do.

    Oh, the one I forgot, though I didn't really meet her!

    I was driving around Hollywood checkin' out the stars homes and turned into a driveway to turn around just as a car was coming out, then I had to wait for two cars to go by before I could back out. Turns out I had Jennifer Lopez fairly pissed at me!! lol

    I don't think I have really met anybody too famous...got autographs from a few Cleveland Brown's players, but if you aren't into football, they probablly aren't even names anyone has heard. (Clarance Weathers, Mike pagel, Webster Slaughter). I also knew Gavin Creel in high school (he was in a couple of TV Disney movies...Eloise at at the Plaza, Eloise at Christmas Time).

    Ralph can lay claim to knowing a few celebrities...Katie Holmes is from Toledo, and Ralph "taught" her to dance. (He helped chreograph a musical she was in, before she was famous). Also, Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) is his cousin.

    I saw Eric Braedon (Young & the Restless) at the mall once.
    Tom Selleck (saw in Hawaii, when I was very young)
    Cher (in concert)
    Sarah McLachlan (in concert, I haven't actually seen her yet, the concert is in a couple weeks)

    I'm also seeing Cher again in concert next month and might get to meet her! If I do I think I'll die!!

    Met quite a few people when I was in the airforce doing VIP flights. PM & Govenor General etc. Met the Queen & Prince Phillip, numerous others that were probably fairly well known down under, but not so much internationally.
