Bruce Willis asked my friend for her number at a restaurant in NY. she kindly told him he was old enough to be her father and they had a good laugh about it!

I saw Patrick Ewing in a Suntrust bank at 13th and K (you know, of the NY Knicks). I asked him for his autograph for my brother and he said "Sure, Little Mama." It was memorable alright. But I did get the autograph and my bro liked it.

I had hot sex with Justin Timberlake...oh wait, that was only a dream!

When she was a senator, DH and DC (a baby at the time) and I were seated literally right across the aisle from Hillary Clinton on a shuttle flight from DC to NY. We smiled at her (didn't want to be obnoxious and try to talk to her), and I have to say, she was cold and unpleasant. I was surprised especially because for all she knew, we were New Yorkers and therefore her constituents, and I was surprised she didn't at least do the cliche thing of smiling at DC (who was cute and not fussing at the time).

One of my friends was walking into a Starbucks in Chicago and almost crashed into Paul Newman who was walking out.

My Dad hitchhiked from Chicago to LA and got picked up by James Garner on his way to a golf game.

Once you engage a child on a plane it is hard to disengage. She should be allowed to be alone in her thoughts like anyone else on a plane. I agree should could have smiled--but can you imagine how many people HC has encountered in her daily life that have been outwardly hostile towards her? Let's face it, on average, women with young kids haven't really traditionally been her fan base.

A few:

- Dudley Moore tried to pick me up when I was walking down Madison Ave many many years ago. I don't think so... old enough to be my grandpa although he was very charming.

- Dated the manager for Van Halen (yes, I'm that old although he was old enough to be my dad.)

- My hubby was getting into a water taxi at Cipriani's in Venice. He was wearing a panama hat that was MUCH too small for him that was given out as a favor at a party we attended there. Tom Hanks was getting out of the water taxi dressed almost exactly like DH, white summer linen suit but with a panama hat that fit. He took one look at DH and said, "Spiffy!" Hilarious at the time.

- Sat next to Clive Owen at a fundraiser. He had brought his mother as his date for the event. However, DH and I had no idea who he was b/c we had just arrived from Monte Carlo that day, pretty jet lagged, and just out of it. Someone later told me who that very nice, handsome man who sat next to me was.

I've had lots. All have been on Martha's Vineyard.

When my daughter was 6 months old, we ran into Harold Ramis and his wife at the Chilmark Store. He commented on how cute my daughter was and he and his wife both held her. We talked for about 1/2 hour and sat and ate dinner right next to them on the porch. They were both incredibly nice and down to earth. Their sons were teenagers at the time and also very nice. They work(ed)? at the summer camp in town.

A couple of years later, I saw Meg Ryan at the airport. My husband and her son happened to be on the same Cape Air flight. Her daughter and my daughter were both three at the time and ran around the airport together. I didn't realize it was Meg Ryan until we were saying goodbye and she took off her big sunglasses. I almost peed my pants.

We were in line at The Galley right behind Tony Shalhoub one year.

My children played with one of the Farley brother's children at the indoor pool at the health club I go to there. They were there with their nanny and were really sweet.

Last summer, my friend spotted Bill Murray coming out of the water at Squibnocket Beach. She took a picture and everything to document the sighting. He was with his children.

One summer, Jimmy Buffet's boat was docked in Menemsha, but I never saw him.

Oh, wait, I forgot two really good ones from MV.

Ted Danson ate at the table next to us at a restaurant in Oak Bluffs.

Larry David, his ex-wife, and his children (this was at least 8 years ago) parked themselves right (and I mean right) next to us at Lucy Vincent Beach. It was hilarious, because it could have been a scene on his show. He and his party were most definitely cutting in on our tiny area of the beach. Had it happened to him, I am sure he wouldn't have been too happy.

Esai Morales (older brother from La Bamba) hit on me at a DC event decades ago. I almost went home with him, but my (male) friend convinced me it wasn't a good idea. Probably the wiser choice, but boy was he hot.

I was Sam Sheperd's waitress at Chi Chi's in Charlottesville when I was an undergrad.

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!
