I have a good friend whose FIL is a famous musician and NEVER heard her mention who he was (although it was easy to figure out if you googled her husband) until a year or so after I met her.

So, what celebrities do you know?

My friend taught Chelsea at Sidwell. She adored her.

My sister's friend took ballet with her and got invited to the WH for a sleepover.

I'm related to Rick Linklater and have met Ethan Hawke a few times while visiting family in Austin. I would love to move from DC to Austin, it's such a cool town.

My confidentiality contract was the thickness of "War and Peace". I admit nothing.

*yes, I know above is likely a HIPAA violation but I'm going with defense of anon forum and no posting of slanderous info.

Got chatted up by Ben Stein in line at the Watergate Safeway in my early 30's. I figured he was hassled all the time so I didn't engage more than friendly chit-chat, which clearly bothered him. He said, "you do know I'm a TV star, of some note, right?" It was hilarious. He then tried to arrange a hook-up. I asked if he was married. He said yes. Ick.

I'm a physician who used to do concierge medicine; most of my patients/clients were diplomats/politicians but I saw a few singers who came to the DC area to perform. Elvis Costello was a true gentleman (and I was dying to meet his wife but she was away, lol). I didn't get the call for the guys from Van Halen but my colleague said they all wanted to be "treated" for a hangover. And one of my patients, a young female pop star who used to be constantly in the media for her dramatic personal life, was tiny in person. Made me sad bc the media always called her out for being fat, which she totally wasn't. I was very nervous and her dad made me feel right at home.

She was extremely rude!!!!I will never forget!!!and from that day I swore NEVER to ask anything of ANY celebrity.

Um,,did you really ask for his autobiography instead of his autograph? Because that may have accounted for the wife's disdain...it would have taken him a while.

C-SPAN's Brian Lamb. A great guy. Like meeting a cross between George Washington and Edward R. Murrow.
