Met Stephen Furst (Dr. Eliot Axelrod from "St. Elsewhere"). I hope he was just having a bad day, because he seemed like an arrogant dick.


Who? Who? Who? Who? Who?


Congrats- you're clueless in 5 different genres, and have the free time to post about it!

I also met my free pass Vince Vaughn on my birthday at a restaurant in Chicago. Here we go:
Me: Um, Vince? I loved you in that one movie? (yes, I said that) It's my birthday? Do you want to do a shot with me?
VV: <looks at me like I have 3 heads> Uh, happy birthday baby. Leaves bar in a hurry.

Sigh.


Aw. it stinks when celebs are rude. Especially someone like Vince who seems like such a fun guy. Oh well.


Vince wasn't rude, he just did not want to drink with some random chick. Shocker.


Yeah, he wasn't rude to me. I'm just lame. I suspect it had to do with the fact that I blanked on his big movie of the year (Swingers), and spoke only in question form.

Mo Vaughn who was an idol to my brother. Incredibly nice guy

The whalberg family a few times. Always very nice and funny

Matt Damon at a wedding. He was very nice and trying to downplay who he was. It was a small wedding and I think I was one of the few who hadn't previously met him as he was friends with a family member of mine.


I have heard a few times that Matt Damon is a really great guy, super down to earth. Apparently Ben Affleck is not, but Matt is supposed to be super friendly. Cools stories.

If someone came up to me and claimed to like me/my work and then got significant details about my work wrong, I probably wouldn't want to continue the conversation either.

That's because Terry Bradshaw, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Green Day, and Cuba Gooding Jr. are bigger stars than the Kardashian skanks you confuse with celebrities.

I took a dance class with Taye Diggs. He's a great instructor. It was hard to not blush and giggle every time he smiled encouragingly after giving a correction.

Met Russel Crowe at a party in Cannes. He was a dick, very full of himself and kind of obsessed with his very pretty, blonde wife. Good for him but it was a bit weird.

At the same party met Gerard Butler, who was nice, but a total smarm. I was a 21 year old female and I doubt he would have given me the time of day if I was a guy. Total skeeve, definitely just on the lookout for some tail.

I just finished reading Andy Cohen's second book where he talks about meeting Britney Spears, and I can't stop thinking of the phrase he used to describe her. "She was simple and shy..."
Maybe JLH and Brit should be friends.
