I produce special events for celebrities and film companies.

Well I already mentioned Hawk Nelson, but since then I've been waved at by Stacy Ferguson (Fergie). I also forgot to mention that I was about five feet away from Arnold Schwarteneggar (sp?) about three years ago, but I didn't actually meet him (though he did give me a thumbs up).

Despite the fact that she has absolutely no talent at anything that she does, I've never got the impression that she's rude, though most people say she is. She seems pretty friendly to me.

She sat down next to me and after a while I finally said "you know, you look familar" and she got embarassed and said that she had been on Melrose Place and I was like "oh! yeah! my mom used to watch that all the time!" She told me she had gone back to school for psychology or something and was taking a break from acting. She was really nice

Anyhow back on topic

Roy E Disney
Spencer Breslin
Ed Asner
Jay Leno
Kevin Eubanks (Leader of the tonight show band)
John Melendez (announcer for the Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno)

Also I have held a very important piece of Disney history... The Oscar (Academy Award) That was awarded to the Silly Symphony: The Old Mill at least I think it was a Silly Symphony.. Also those Academy Awards really are heavy.

My list is short but my boyfriend and I have met (either alone or together):

All members from the band Garbage. Shirley even leaned over the table to take her picture with my boyfriend (but did not do it for anyone else).
Dave Navarro at the Guitar Hero 2 signing
The creator/designer of Guitar Hero 2

Several others that I met through my dad (he recently retired from working as a studio sound editor)
Ron Jeremy
Tony Hawk
Penn (From Penn and Teller)
Mickey Carroll One of the munchkins from the Wizard of Oz
Junior Senior band members (really exciting)
Sheldon Adelson (owner of Venetian)

Celebrities we have seen:

I can't believe the amount of celebs a lot of you have met! For me it's a very short list:

Vanilla Ice
DMX
President Bush, Sr.
E. Michael McCann (Milwaukee D.A.)
Diane S. Sykes (Federal Circuit Court of Appeals Judge that was considered by President Bush to be a member of the Supreme Court - and will be one day)
Charlie Sykes (Milwaukee talk radio show host)

Despite the fact that she has absolutely no talent at anything that she does, I've never got the impression that she's rude, though most people say she is. She seems pretty friendly to me.

Yeh Paris was not rude and very kind. I had normall conversations with her and she was never stuck up or anything.

One thing Paris is good at is promoting her self! And
I must asmit I do like two of her songs...

Jackie Chan (3 times, in fact), Aaron Kwok (The Stormriders), Kim Hee-Sun (The Myth), Mallika Sherawat (The Myth), Gary Busey, Christopher Sabat (voice of Vegeta in American dub of Dragon Ball Z) and etc....

alot of hong kong actors...

will meet alot more when i move to Hong Kong for my job. i work for a dvd distro company and have worked on translating the dvd bonus features on films like "The Myth", "Rob-B-Hood", "A Chinese Tall Story" (featuring music by Studio Ghibli's Joe Hisaishi) and so on...

As of Sunday night, you can add Kathy Griffin to my list!

I don't think I've posted here yet... I really haven't met many celebrities, but I saw Dolly Parton at a parade in DollyWood. Not close, but I saw her! Then I met some guy from Surviver. I don't know what season or anything, but he was from my hometown. He was kinda large, and I remember him being a fairly big Christian.

Really, I haven't met many celebrities. There's only... well, two, celebs I want to meet. Julie Andrews, you know I'm a fan, and Anne Hathaway, whom I have a bit of a crush on...

BBMAK
Kevin and Howie from BSB
Kelly Osbourne
Michelle Branch (2X)
Lance Bass - he was in "Hairspray" when I saw it - he was very nice and signed my playbill.

Updates, anyone?
