[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Madonna and Lourdes: I was on the beach in San Diego with my high school girlfriend and her family. I was flying a kite. Madonna approached me with Lourdes - who was probably 4 years old - and asked me if I could teach Lourdes how to fly a kite. We played for probably 30 minutes. She was with a massive male bodyguard and a butch female nanny/personal trainer/bodyguard who also looked like she could crush me. Madonna made small talk with me, but was incredibly aloof. Lourdes was a sweetheart and a typical 4 year-old. I remember the female nanny being much more involved with Lourdes. No one on the beach recgonized them.

Ironically enough, I met Guy Ritchie at the MTV Movies Awards just six months later when I was working as a seat filler. This was before he had met Madonna and he was doing press for Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels. He's definitely a brooding artist. Also next to him were Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, and the rest of the Lock Stock lads. Totally hilarious guys, they gave me (a 17 year-old) a bunch of drinks.

Kid Rock: sort of a dick.

Dustin Hoffman and his wife: lovely people who welcomed me into their UWS home. I knew their son in college, but didn't realize who his parents were. One day he invited me to his parents' UWS apartment for watching movies and family dinner I didn't put two-and-two together until I saw the Oscar statutes in his parents' bedroom.

Janet Yellen: Teensy-tiny and so soft spoken. She's the polar opposite of the typical DC blowhard.

Zoe Deschanel: utterly bizarre. I worked at a hotel restaurant in NYC and served her breakfast for an entire week. She seemed zonked out on medication. She would drink half a cup of OJ, half cup of coffee, and eat two bites of a single hard-boiled egg each morning.

Pierce Brosnan: total Irish lad. Gregarious, hilarious, a man of the people. Again he had a few meals at my hotel restaurant. He arrived in the late afternoon from JFK and wanted some beers and food after a Transatlantic flight. He sat with me for an hour while I served him beers at the bar and we just bantered back and forth. The paparazzi was waiting for him outside the hotel all day - we had a good laugh as we waved at them through the window. He had me send a keg of Brooklyn Lager to his penthouse hotel room. Great tipper.

Funny enough, I saw Pierce at the baggage carousel at JFK 18 months later. He totally remembered me and we had a laugh about the paparazzi.

Scottie Pippen: he came into my restaurant with a woman. He ordered everything for both of them, was sort of a curt dick, and he and his date basically did not talk at all through the entire night. Really awkward situation, neither looked happy to be there.
