In sixth grade we had to take this test identifying pictures of random famous people. In a group of 60 kids I was the only one who knew who he was. I bombed pictures of sportsball people - I guessed that every black player was Daryl Strawberry. My parents had taken me to see White Nights but I knew who Mikhail was before that.

Luckily most everyone I meet is friendly, happy, and kind. Very few of the stars I've met have been terrible (snippy, bad attitude, etc.)






I think you've won.

When I was a bartender in DC, I served the likes of Lyle Lovett and Angelina Jolie. I was the only server at my establishment who did not meet George Clooney.

I've only met like one famous person in my life and it was a former Caps player and I didn't even know it was him at the time - I found out later. I lose at life.

Did you find her to be stupid? I've heard rumors.


PP here. I'm not sure who you've heard those rumors from but I absolutely have not found her to be stupid and I've worked with on her several professional projects. She's smart as a whip, driven, engaged, and gives great feedback. She also knows how to communicate her vision properly and effectively, something that is very rare in our industry. A lot of people have a vision but they have no way of communicating it to their team, so the team has to come up with everything on their own, with a few misses before a hit. It might surprise some people, but Kim Kardashian is the same way. She's a powerhouse in the meeting room. She comes with her research done, detailed notes, examples, references -- really, everything one could want. For two people who don't really like each other, they have the same amazing work ethic and approach to their professional endeavors.

I was on a flight with a soap opera star. No clue which one, or which soap. So, right there with you.

I was in the same flight once as John Cena the wrestler. At a bar in college I took a pic with Ace from Real World Paris. Shook John McCains hand once. I am clearly nobody.

Tom Sellek. They were filming an episode of Magnum PI across the street from my house in Hawaii. I gave him a Coke. Ran into him again at the McDonalds at the Turtle Bay Hilton.

Jim Neighbors. Near his home on Diamond head. I was running the hills while training for a marathon.

Sinbad! 4am at the Dallas airport. I was exhausted and traveling alone with my then 1 year old. My DH was deployed during Desert Storm. He bought me a muffin. So sweet!

Shep Smith. Many, many times. He has a condo in Oxford and goes to a lot of home games. I've been to several parties with him.

No one super big, but I'm easily impressed.
