Also, and I'm dating myself with these, I was an extra for this movie with John Cusak and James Spader-forgot the name. But, it was filmed in C'ville. Spader was a dick, but Cusak would hang out with the extras between takes sometime and play frisbee or hacky sack. Pretty cool!

Was the movie called True Colors?

22:34 again

- more appropriate for DC: Was waiting in line at coat check after a party. Older gentleman started talking to me. Could not think of anything to say so I started to talk about... the weather! Later, a friend told me it was Senator Dick Durbin who at the time was all over the news. Embarrassing but pretty much typical of me.

This isn't my story, but it's pretty funny, so I thought I'd share:

My friend and her brother were at a party and Neil Patrick Harris was there. This was before he made his comeback with Before I Met Your Mother, so he was primarily still known for Doogie Howser. Anyway, my friend and her brother asked if they could take a photo with him. He was really nice about it, but asked if it would be ok to just sign something for them, because taking a photo would draw attention to himself. My friend was like "Sure, that's cool." Her brother, though, yelled "SCREW YOU NEIL PATRICK HARRIS!" super loudly. My friend said NPH was speechless -- just got this "WTF!?" look on his face. When my friend asked her brother why he'd done it, he said he didn't really want the memorabilia and would rather have a great story.

On my honeymoon almost 11 years ago we were having a romantic dinner overlooking the ocean at the Four Seasons in Hawaii. A table 2 away from us opened up and the wait staff was getting out bottled water, and hurrying around in a frenzy, etc. At one point after the couple was seated I looked over and saw Jim Carrey making faces at the adorable toddler sitting at the table in between us. He was there with Renee Zellwegger. I later saw him walking in the hotel bathrobe through the lobby eating an apple. Pretty sure he had his mouth full so nobody would talk to him. LOL!

My favorite celeb encounter (I've had a bunch b/c I used to work in the entertainment industry) was in a bathroom at Live Aid at least 15 years ago. I was backstage and using the restroom. This gorgeous woman walks in and starts complaining about how hot it is and in her really sweet southern accent says, "Oh Gosh, look at this mess of hair!" Meanwhile, I had been there for like 10 hours and looked like shit, so I said, "Well, if it makes you feel any better, I've been here 10 hours and I'm a hot mess. I wish I looked like you!" ha! About 15 minutes later I went out to the main stage and saw Tim McGraw introduce his gorgeous wife, Faith Hill. Yes, the woman from the bathroom.

22:45-True Colors! That was the name. I heard it was bad and didn't even see it. All I know is that I got free meals and was paid extra bc my backpack was used as a "prop."

I worket at a gourmet food stoe and helped Paul Newman when he had questions about the food items (pecan pie, peaches.) I helped him on a few occasions. He was always very nice (and handsome!)

I worked at the Banana Republic flagship store in Chicago when I was in college. I helped Sally Kellerman with a return (didn't know who she was) and when someone told me she was THE actress on M.A.S.H, I said "what's mash?" I'm pretty sure she heard me too. Also at BR, I rang up Malcolm McDowell, Meg Ryan and David Schwimmer.

Also in college, I worked for a hotel babysitting agency. I babysat for the manager of Aerosmith-they loved me so much they asked me to move to LA with them. My friend who worked for the same babysitting agency babysat for Pierce Brosnan and the pitcher for the Cardinals.

Warren Beatty hit on my good friend 20+ years ago when she was seated on a plane next to him. When she brushed him off, he said "don't you know who I am?" to which she scoffed, "yes, I know who you are" [a**hole]

So funny. Patrick Ewing hit on me too back when I was in college. Ewww! I asked him for an autograph and he asked me where I was going that night.

I was working at Johnson's Flower Center when newly minted Justice Sandra Day O'Connor came in to buy poinsettias for her staff. I helped select and wrap plants and asked for picture ID.

Served Art Buchwald too and Paul Mellon's butler came every Thursday to get fresh cut flowers.

I am surprised by the number of stories with celebrities who hit on a poster who then insulted them. Maybe those stories have been a bit embellished over the years.

I was in a jewelry store in Monaco years ago, and looked up to see Robin Williams looking at the stuff in the case next to me. I said "it's Robin Williams!" He made one of his fantastic overdone surprise faces, grabbed the stand mirror on the case and looked at himself, still with the dramatic shock. He turned to me and said "You're right! (whisper, thumb jerk at the mirror) I hear that guy's a jerk." Then he tweaked my nose, (I was 14) winked at me, and walked away.

Oh, and my friends and I got invited to the band's trailer after a Dave Matthews show. This was just when they were getting big and starting to play bigger venues. I was about 18 then, and one of the band members was putting pretty sleazy moves on my friend. Dave sat in the corner and didn't say anything. We didn't stay long because we were so nervous and out of our element, and we still had curfew.

This happened to someone at work. She was hit on by Eliot Spitzer at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner. She said that he asked her if she believed in having sex with someone other than her husband. She said "absolutely not" and walked away in a huff. She told EVERYONE about encounter.

The irony of this is that her husband does not share that same view. They work for the same company and a week before this incident with Spitzer, he was getting a private lap dance at a strip club with co-workers.

The last place we lived my good friend was (is) the DIL of one of the Beach Boys. Never met her FIL, but my mom took DS to their DD's birthday party when we were out of town and she got to meet him. One of her favorite bands, so that was pretty cool.

My friend grew up next door to John Hamm.
