Haven't some of you met Jedi Janey in person? I think she qualifies as a full-fledged celebrity!

Walter Payton pinched my derriere! (Back when he was real famous!)

I've met a few others, but I can't remember 'em. Brooke Shields is the only one I remember.

I served Gale Sayers coffee at a local university function when I was a teenager. Very exciting and he was super nice!

Welp.. If any of you know Christian artists, I've met Al Denson.

For those of you who know Sixpence None the Richer, I met the lead chick, Leigh Nash, before they were famous. I guess they've broken up now? They sang "There She Goes."

I didn't really meet him, but Weird Al and I passed each other outside McCain (the music building at KSU) when he performed there and he said hi to me. Holy crap is that man SHORT!

Most recently, I met Clay Aiken at a Meet n Greet (got autograph, photos)during first American Idol tour. I also used to go to a LOT of theater in NYC and would get autographs at stage door...Mary Martin, Davy Jones (before Monkees) when he was in Oliver on Broadway, Julie Andrews when she was first on Broadway in My Fair Lady and Camelot, much more. Actually Peter Tork of Monkees went to school with my brother for one year. And I personally knew Jim Henson of the Muppets before he died, and knew "Big Bird" (Carroll Spinney) before he ever became Big Bird, back when he used to perform with his own wonderful puppet "Picklepuss". We had met in 1968, I believe, and he became Big Bird in 1969. Wonderful guy!

Spy, you met Janie??

I got to be within 5 feet of her and wave at her and she waved back ;) Closer to meeting her mom and friend, got a nice wave from Jack and his wife (The Owl I think HAS met Jack)

Oh well I met in person and got autographs from Amy, Jason, Justin, met Robert sort of.. shared words across a few feet with the twins (but Lanzee got to sign with them)

And my friend, Frank, was Mickey Mouse for awhile at Disneyland, before I knew him.

And in the dog show world I met lots of world famous breeders and judges and handlers, some of whole still show up on the Westiminster KC show in NYC on TV. The other day the woman who did Best in Show at a televised dog show was Connie Barton.. I met her back when she was a handler and kennel manager for Mrs R. V. Clark, Jr in Virginia.. we got a tour of their amazing kennel facilities. But that wouldn't mean much to most folks.. landi and I had some mutual knowledge and people in the dog show world from back in the day.

And in tennis world, I was kind and allowed Conchita Martinez and Gigi Fernandez, back when they were "an item" to take an elevator that I'd already caught.. alone.. and I've met Monica Seles' dog and Arantza Sanchez-Vicario's mom and dog.. lol

And I have met Pamy :-)

Weinermr, that's cool.. I really liked Ron Rodecker.. we'd go to his booth every year at the Sawdust and talk.. I have few of his prints. I don't think Dragon Tales made him a fortune, but he was, I think, pleased that it was on PBS.

His wife, Diane, became a.. not sure if she was a therapist but she was certainly a great advocate for anyone who needed assistance due to disability.. she wrote a column in The OC Register for quite awhile. Ron did a couple of therapy related paintings.. I really would have loved to have a certain one that just truck a chord but it was already sold when we got there.

They ended up retiring (at least he did) out of state.. I got a notice about that. I thought he was a good guy and loved his delightful dragons!!

I've been a freelance entertainment writer since 1979... I'd say about 60 % were phone interviews.. do they count? I covered the Daytime Emmy's in NYC a few times... Been to numerous Montreal and Toronto press conferences... How do I sum up or pick and choose? Geez. Plus I have fibromyalgia which affects my memory, so I'd have to dig out the articles to refresh my memory!

'Phoners only:
Oprah Winfrey (We laughed till we cried.)
Malcolm Forbes (He, Celine, and Oprah were the hardest to track down, but I got 'em! :-)

Phoner and met in person:
Celine Dion (Lovely)
Peggy Lee (A real classy dame!)
Linda Dano (Friendly & down to earth)
Ronnie Hawkins (Larger than life, and loads of fun!)
BB King (Sweet man.)

In-person private interviews and/or press conferences:
Julie Andrews (& her daughter Emma Walton)
Alan Rickman (Just as intimidating in person.)
Gerrard Depardieu (Who needed a translator for my really awful Quebecois French!)
Mickey Rooney (at one of his birthday parties.)
Pia Zadora (who I adora!, don't believe all the negative hype - lovely gal, w/ singing voice of an angel)
Richard Simmons (biggest disappointment - what a putz!)
John Irving (A real gentleman...This one's for you Mamie&Spangs!!)
Nicholas Sparks - (Gorgeous AND smart!)

That's about all I can remember at 3:30 a.m.!!!

Oh yeah. Duh. I met Cher. During the period of my life when I most looked like her! (Was a kick being in LV when she was performing there... I'd walk thru a casino and people would fall off their stools thinking I was her. I'm about 4" taller than she is, though! :-))

Morning Everyone! Hope you're all enjoying your Friday. It's cold and snowing here.

Here are the results of: Have you ever met someone famous?

Yes40
No7
Unsure1


Not sure what you mean by "not sure" Half. Are you not sure that the person was famous, or not sure that you were there??

Today's question is a little bit naughty. I am just trying to keep Pamy interested in the pole...er, poll. Today's question is: Have you ever had sex outdoors?

My answer is: Yes.
