what's your closest connection to a celebrity?

<p>My dad's coworker used to be Jerry Springer's neighbor.
lol, you guys?</p>

<p>None really…</p>

<p>Oh, my freshman-year world history teacher worked as a producer for CBS, and knew Meredith Viera. And, he had dinner with Judge Judy and her husband before.
My school has had celebrities visit before too.</p>

<p>I live in NYC, and truthfully I’ve never really met any celebrity:(. The only celebrity I’ve seen is Joan Rivers, who I really don’t care much about.</p>

<p>Eminem went on my class field trip in elementary school.</p>

<p>My Boss went to UVA with Tina Fey.</p>

<p>I know Richard Tran who knows Joseph Vincent and my friend is close with Jennifer Chung. Another one of my friend has performed with AJ Rafael at this Filipino grill restaurant. Also, Justin Bieber played at this celebrity basketball game at my school to raise money for the girls’ basketball team.</p>

<p>^ Is he any good?</p>

<p>i was on vacation last summer when i dropped a pen and john mayer picked it up for me. that made my life.
hahha thats like all i have. last year i dated a guy who is playing basketball at the university of kentucky this year but he’s not a celebrity</p>

<p>^^ He sucks really badly. All he did was try and look cool and always was messing around with his hair and the cap he was wearing. He didn’t know where to run and would always be on one side while everyone was running to the other side when the opposing team stole the ball. He also was packed several times.</p>

<p>^^ If he plays varsity he may well be soon.</p>

<p>^ Haha, I figured as much</p>

<p>@future, You need to date him again.</p>

<p>I met Paula Deanda.</p>

<p>deleted for privacy :P</p>

<p>I’m just friends with a bunch of child actors and actresses.</p>

<p>^ Where do you live?</p>

<p>I met Mario Lopez a while back and got his autograph like 4 times(?) lol. I was surprised how patient he was - he pretty much stood there and kept smiling and signing his name for me without complaining the entire time. Although all his other [female] fans were another story - they were about rip me and each other apart. </p>

<p>To be honest, I didn’t really understand the whole hype behind him at the time. I mean, I knew he in DWTS and everything, but yeah. Heck, I was just happy to meet someone famous even though he is somewhat of a ******bag.</p>

<p>My art teacher’s son roomed with Heather Mill’s nephew at Stanford. Then, on a trip to NYC together, they were at his roommate’s apartment when PAUL MCCARTNEY walked in with Heather Mills. They sat around and ate ice cream sundaes together! :O</p>

<p>The day she told me that story, my art teacher became the coolest person I know, lol…</p>

<p>The biggest celebrity with whom I’m somewhat closely connected is [Oscar</a> Robertson](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Robertson]Oscar”>Oscar Robertson - Wikipedia), the basketball player. He goes to church with my father, so I’ve seen him a lot. He’s old now, but he’s really tall.</p>

<p>My aunt is a little bit famous. Like, she’s a best selling author. She was nominated for an Image Award once, and my mother went with her to the ceremony, so they definitely met a lot of famous people there.
One of my first cousins has been on a couple of TV shows, so she’s met famous people. She worked with Jorge Garcia once.
My father was in an elevator with Whoopi Goldberg once.
Oh, he also went to the same college as Lionel Richie. So, he saw him perform at a young age.
And he lived really, really close to Condoleezza Rice’s grandparents.
One of my second cousins was in a music video with Beyonc</p>

<p>^ I love how the list goes from althete to R&B star and then an OE actor lol.</p>

<p>Which reminds me that I met Hugh Laurie.</p>

<p>Well I high-fived Shaq at the Lakers v. Nets game a few years ago. :P</p>

<p>Other than that I was a few rows back from Eric Clapton at one of his concerts (Clapton is pretty much my god xD). Awesome.</p>

<p>^ He wouldn’t react kindly to that. One thing that he is annoyed by is the fact that Americans only know him for House.</p>

<p>^ I don’t think he’d mind if they knew him best for that but the fact that very VERY few know him for anything else (SO many people are shocked to learn that he is in fact British) would be annoying.</p>
