Ryan Gosling in a white t-shirt and jeans. Slim, tall, tanned and handsome. And friendly to boot.

I met Leonardo Decaprio at charity event
I was volunteering at. This was after Romio and
Juliet and right before titanic. He was hanging out
with some buddies. My friend asked if he could take
a picture of him and I. He very graciously obliged.
Seemed like a very down to earth guy (and super hot).

Had previously ran into him in the lobby of the Delano hotel in South Beach 10+ yrs ago.


He cut in front of my husband at a Starbucks. He was shorter than my hubby but he wasn't going to say anything!


He went to the kid jail near where I grew up and was a janitor at my high school. It was there that he met Bobby Stewart and learned to box.

Probably a good move. Shorter but could still bite off an ear.

I have posted twice before but the PP who posted about Iggy Pop reminded me of when I saw Lou Reed at a French restaurant on Mothers' Day about 12 years ago, give or take. Looked the same as on tv, and I was sort of shocked to see him there, so I stared.

Recognized John Waters getting on a plane and sitting in front of us. Looks like he does on screen. Was very quiet and read the whole trip.

I love her! You are lucky. I can't think of many celebs I want to meet but she is one. I LOVE Wonder Woman!!


NP. I also saw her -- at the Bethesda Landmark cinema -- and couldn't place her until several hours later. (But Wonder Woman was a bit before my time.)


I saw her at a McCormick years ago. Agree very pretty in person.


I sat across from Lynda Carter and Robert Altman on a plane back in the early 90s (pre-kid days when I always flew first class as a frequent business traveler). It was around the height of Altman's legal troubles, and I could see them tensing up when it was clear I was recognizing him as well as her. But then they relaxed and became chatty when I noted how fond I was of his mother, Sophie Altman, who was quite a character as producer of "It's Academic," which I was lucky enough to play for several years. Yes, Carter is a striking beauty.


Totally agree with this one - I waited on her once and she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen - and I don't think I've seen another woman in person who was that gorgeous. She was so much better looking than everybody else that I always thought there should be another category for people like that.

I still sometimes see Carla Hall and she's so tall and very stunning. Jose Andres looks just like on TV. Katie from Eats Place looks really young in person. Like a teenager. Same with the owner of Three Little Pigs Caroline.


I've met Carla a couple of times. She is really is stunning! A real sweetheart, too.


Same here. It was many years ago, back before she was so well known. She was warm and funny -- definitely beautiful inside and out!

For work, I met Evander Holyfield (ok- kinda empty)- John McEnroe- was so uptight and extremely unfriendly/unsociable- a real jerk (made him very unattractive).
