Celebrity Encounters

[ChloeFrancoise]

I think I saw Bill Murray yesterday but I was walking up behind the person from the side, so I couldn't even see for sure without making it obvious I was looking at the person. That would be even more awkward if it wasn't even him. Everytime I think I see someone something prevents me from being sure it's them. The same type of thing happened when I thought I saw Wes Anderson.

 

[lollicandy]

Hm. I've never really met anyone that famous, but the few people I've seen in person or a few I talked to:

Cillian Murphy, Kristen Johnson, Paul Banks from Interpol, Richie Rich, some Hong Kong news presenter at uni in London, saw Lynn Yaeger, Lily Cole, the editor of Teen Vogue. I have to laugh at myself, what a motley crew of people. Yeah, very rarely have I met/seen 'famous' people.

Scarlett Johansson is pretty tiny in real life. One or two summers ago my friend and I went to a Steel Train show. They're amazing by the way. It just so happens most of the songs are about Scarlett since the lead singer and her were serious once upon a time. There was a pretty blonde looking girl who opened the show on a guitar, sang a song and announced she's really nervous cos her family and friends are watching and she pointed right right next to us, so direct I thought she was posting at my blonde friend. However, literally right next to us were a pack of blondes and one of them with a very distinct familiar face; was Scarlett. She was shouting and wooing and my friend and I recognised her and went up to her with a hug and kiss like we've been friends forever. I'm in no way a fan of her but yeah, that was a fun experience.

Some of the other people I've met have been family friends for ages and those include Liz Hurley, Molly Shannon, Julia Stiles and Amy Ryan. Some models, and I've seen Gisele and Leonardo biking around here when they were dating. Same with Nicolas Cage and his girlfriend. lol, I feel like a name dropper now. There are probably more I just don't remember, a lot of 'famous' people roam around where I live.

Oh and I forgot, haha, I was once a little ringmaster at the Barnum & Bailey's circus in Madison Sq. Garden. It consisted of the ringmaster holding me up in the middle of the circus and talking to me and crowd and then singing a song with all the circus people at the end.

Also, do sports people count? Marat Safin, Gustavo Kuerten (super nice), Mark Philippoussis, and Richard Williams (Venus & Serena's father).

 

[Astralique]

I met Destiny's Child : Beyonce, Kelly, Michelle.

 

[Ella Petrovsky]

George Foreman at LAX. No one knew it was him because he put his hat on his face, but once he took it off i was like, " Omg I have your grill!"

 

[yourbestfriend]

John Glover, Lex Luthor's father from Smallville at work one day.

 

[kickassgood]

jude law and christina aguilera

 

[Lacroix]

River Phoenix

Wow- if there was ever one person I could meet, it would always be him. I'm so incredibly jealous, I really love him.

 

[GasolineRainbow]

^^^^ Oooh, me too! My favorite famous person of all time! What was he like?

Lollicandy, one of my other favorite famous people is Marat Safin. What was he like?

Never spoken to anyone famous, I've heard a lot of stories from friends though, some of which I refuse to believe. Maybe I'm in denial. Like, I've heard that Hayden Christensen was really superficial, which seems hard to believe. He doesn't come across that way at all.

 

[SHSH]

I met Muhammed Ali a couple of times when i was younger, my dad and him have a mutual friend. I have a pic of him hugging me lol and me looking not very bothered. He is a really nice guy

 

[Captain_Lydia]

Got to see a bunch of celebs at comic con, but I didn't get to talk to them or anything. Was still pretty cool since I'd never seen them anywhere but the movies before.

 

[lollicandy]

^^^ He was actually really nice; there was a swarm of people around him but my friend knew some Russian and yelled something at him so he came over and took some pics. He seemed annoyed though with all the people (mainly young girls and women) screaming and reaching over the court to touch him though. And he has a tattoo of an eye on his neck I think, I noticed that. I saw his younger sister and mother there too, and Dinara is very very tall.

A lot of my friends in high school worked at the US Open and some tennis players were nicer than others (ahem Anna Kournikova). Richard Williams was...interesting kind of jittery.

 

[lollicandy]

I forgot too, that I saw Pete Burns barefoot (!) in London and he stole (!) a pair of gold lame disco hotpants from a vintage store, got in an argument with the owner, ran out of the store still barefoot with the aforementioned hotpants and then the owner called the police to report it. She said he had come in many times before and paid by checks that bounced. That was the first time I visited England and I heard jingling behind me and thought it was a gypsy or something and it turned out to be Pete Burns.

Chloe Sevigny walked in front of me today for a few moments. She looked really good-- striped tunic dress and these fabulous ankle boots, though she looked really aware and kind of self-conscious of the fact that she is who she is and thus attracts stares no matter

 

[jewelbox]

^ Aw, sounds like she looked very cute! Lucky you got to see her
