Bo Jackson. Super grumpy and standoffish. Just stood mute around people trying to engage with him in a friendly way and he just muttered words and stared at an iphone.

Funny, Mike Wallace once ripped me a new one (by phone) but later realized he was wrong and actually called back to apologize. I’ve respected him for it ever since.

I met Jon Stewart at GW after his infamous Crossfire appearance. I happened to have class in the same building it was being filmed and noticed a group waiting for him to exit, so I just hung around. Super nice guy. Shook each person's hand. Very short in person!

I met GW Bush a number of times at my former job and he was so nice. Didn't agree with him politically, but he took time to talk to staff, very down to earth and genuine in his interactions. Super soft hands--would love to know what kind of lotion he uses lol

Had a beer Joe Montana we talked 20 minutes.

Evander Holyfield does not drink I met him out in a bar was drinking water

Forgot that I met Paul Reiser too! It was at a book signing in NY, and I went with my mom. She talked to him like he was her son and she was proud of him and pleased to have produced such a successful son; it was weird. He looked at me like "what is happening?" and I hustled her along.

(meaning, not fancy) and a woman turned around and told us she knew an excellent place. She gave me an address and told me we'd be taken care of. That was her. Whole meal was free. She must have described us to someone at the restaurant.

Her parents own an Italian restaurant in NYC so I wonder if she sent you there! I had a friend who went to Hs with her (and they kind of look alike). Said she was always really nice.

Down to earth guy in t-shirt and shorts sitting among a bunch of VERY loud 9y olds drinking (his brand) lemonade and eating spaghetti looking like he was having the time of his life. Later on he came to arts and crafts (where I was working) and did some woodworking with some teenagers.

Super nice and low key guy.

This makes me so happy. He always seemed so down to earth and kind. And he is one of the most handsome men ever to live!

Thanks. Also, no one gives a shit.

I guess because we really don't care?

Olsen twins- they are teeny tiny and honestly kind of looked like hobbits.

Robert Deniro, nice but a little off.

Mr Big from Sex and the City (don't know his real name) we were on a flight together, very very nice and normal acting

Christy Brinkley (was next to her table in East Hampton) last summer. Striking but WAY too much work done, she looked pull as tight as a rubber band, not a great look.

Dove Cameron - I was in NY waiting for my hotel room to be ready, sitting in the lobby working on my laptop, when this crazy talk and insanely thin woman came up to me and giggled “are you looking for me? Are you waiting for me?” And I was super confused. I had just driven there from the DMV, looked like crap, was tired, hungry and annoyed that my room still wasn’t ready. I had no clue who this woman was.

So I said “no dear, I think you have me confused with someone else. I’m just waiting for my room to be ready.” And she replied “oh, can I stay here with you? I don’t to go out there yet?” Which just made me even more confused and think WTF is going on?! But I said “of course, you can sit here with me” and I moved my luggage over. She seemed high and nervous. Was wearing all black and severely high heel boots which looked painful to wear. She was very beautiful.

And then suddenly she “oh, I have to go, thank you so much” and she legit twirled around twice and then struck a pose by the front door and slowly walked out where I saw paparazzi waiting for her and they began calling her name which is how I figured out who she was. She got into a black suburban and left. Turned out her Apple TV show was having a press event at my hotel. I wondered if she might be high or just super hungry (because she was so painfully thin). My teens can’t believe I didn’t ask for a photo.

Because the bands touring that city that night had bought out that floor. So I spent the night with The Grateful Dead and Crosby, Stills and Nash running up and down the hallway. Honestly, they could not have been nicer to the lawyer in her business suit. And they were clearly having the time of their lives even though it was probably the 10 millionth time they had done that.

This is my dream.

Amongst those passengers was a teenage boy who seemed lost so BIL helped him navigate the whole issue and they all arrived safely in St. Barts.

A few days later, BIL was at a restaurant and all of the sudden, the jaws of everyone at his table dropped because Sir Paul McCartney came and sat at the next table, right behind BIL. He was frustrated that he couldn't turn around to look but didn't want to seem stupid or to bother Sir Paul. About halfway into their time at the table, he feels a tap on his shoulder. He turns around and it's Paul trying to get his attention. BIL turns around and Paul says "My grandson tells me you helped him out at the airport the other day, I just wanted to say thank you."

Moral of the story, always lend a hand, you never know who's grandson it might be!

What a great story!

Sir Paul is the best!

This is not a direct experience with a celebrity but I saw the iPhone video… when a very popular dating site she helped promote was going public, Kate Hudson came back to the intermediary banker doing the deal with a video text of her saying in a sing-songy high pitched and snobby accented voice: “no no no! We’re going to need Much more than that [than the current payout]” What a filthy, entitled brat! Changed my view of her. I bet second gen movie stars are the worst kinds of ppl
