Have you ever been personal friends with a seriously famous person?

[Anonymous]

I used to roll with Puff, Puffy, P. Diddy, Diddy, and now Brother Love.

We stopped hanging out when he did his thing with JLo. Lots of drama there and I didn't want to be involved.

I don't envy there fame. I use to envy his deals and money but it's fine now because DH is 34 and still playing; I can't be more greedy than that.

Do you read the gossip from all the birds and sidepieces on Lipstick Alley and Baller Alert?

If so, can you tell me what's true?

HAHAHA! When I was younger OF COURSE! Now I'm basically a grandma in that circle and no know one cool anymore. But its normally at least 60 percent true. One thing that is true (and I'm ashamed that I played part in it) is wives are mean to "girlfriends." I got swept up into that culture and I regret it. My piece of paper makes me no better! Ive grown in the last decade, thankfully!

My uncle (mother's brother) is one of the most famous and highest-earning athletes of all time. So famous that to say who he is would be to out myself. No fun, I know.

Meaning the time he almost got shot in a club and Jennifer got arrested for it?

If its not Michael Jordan no one knows. The only other athletes that immediately make people think 'he must be a billionaire by now' and SUPER-STAR fame is Cristiano Ronaldo and he's not old enough to have adult nieces/nephews.

How did/do you keep yourself fit as a WAG? Also specifically in the DMV area, I'd love to know the greatest trainers. Favorite beauty treatments?

NP but I doubt that.

I bet it's a golfer -- maybe Nicklaus or Palmer.

So wives are generally expected to look the other way at whatever is going down?

Like I said. Super-star fame. Wouldn't recognize either walking down the street. Michael Jordan on the other hand. Or Michael Phelps. They have distinctive features and globally recognized brands. Those other two just look like any old white guys heading towards a retirement home.

For me, nope. We have some high profile parents at our kids school, one in my kid's class. They're ok. Kid brags that his dad is famous.

Oh, honey. Bless your heart. Dee Snider absolutely is a "seriously famous" individual. Not just for music, but activism. He has testified before Congress (fighting the PMRC). He's probably bound for the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.

Not to totally jump this thread but this attitude is something I really take offense too. Yes, there are a bunch of crazy horny non committed 20 year olds in the NBA. There are also many family oriented men who value their family and their wife. I can say with confidence my husband hasn't cheated. He also isn't super famous and has to work really hard to stay in the league so Im sure that makes a difference too. He can't party all night and show up on game day and get paid millions. He's gotta train constantly to hopefully make another 1-year contract of about a million. (not complaining, just explaining the difference) My point is the stereotype on WAGS and all that is one part of the industry. There are other types that make up the league.
