Went to college with Tim Duncan.
Interned at the White House and met Bubba. Also volunteered on Uncle Joe's campaign years ago. Met Jonny Damon when he played single A ball. Colin Powell, Terry Bradshaw, Robert Reich, Joe Theissman, Lamar Alexander, James Carville - I worked at a speakers bureau for a while. Kevin Griffin from Better Than Ezra - not super famous, but I have loved him for years. |

I did too. This was in the '90s. I was so into those Lookout (label) bands. My husband met Gwen Stefani in the '90s, said she was aloof and unfriendly to everyone there (he was a roadie and driver for some bands for a few years, made friends with a lot of 1990s alt type bands; Gwen Stefani was the only one he really had anything negative to say about). |

I know who Eminem, Claire Danes, and Barbara Bush are, but I have no idea who the other people you listed are. |

| You know the guy who played Bubba on "Mama's Family?" He was at a party at my house, sometime around 2000 or so. |

Diddy..back when he was going by Puff Daddy. He was in the airport and I saw him right before he got noticed by a million other people and got his autograph. Super nice guy.
Mark Whalberg. VERY nice and laid back. Was in the same restuarant as him in Boston. |

Went to college in NYC. One sat night at like 2am, I went to a corner deli to get something (probably cigs) and Ben Stiller was in there buying flowers, lol.
I was so drunk I was like "OMG, Ben Stiller, i LOVED something about mary!" (this was a few years after that came out--2000ish. He was kind of annoyed... |
