So of course, Brenda and I, being the opportunists that we are, went over and started dancing with him trying to flirt our way backstage to meet Macy. Like I said, he wasn’t that big yet, so we weren’t so much interested in meeting him.Well, our plan worked, just as we were about to go backstage with Will, this stupid security guard stopped us and wouldn’t allow us back there, ugh! Well, we did hang out with Will for a bit, even snapped a few pics. But of COURSE…..of all pictures to get screwed up, these ones didn’t turn out, I think the flash wasn’t working or something. I know what you’re all thinking, yeah, sure……. nice cover up. But no, I’m serious this really happened!
So…………. do you think I’m cool yet?
If not, then here’s another one for you.
Now this goes even further back, when I was 17 working at a little guetto pancake house downtown. I met Lou Diamond Phillips!!!!!
Do you even know who he is? My husband was like, “big deal, he’s not even famous”, ha, I beg to differ. Haven’t you seen the movie La Bamba?……….Well I didn’t either until I met Lou. Okay, I admit, I had no clue who he was when he came in, until a coworker started freaking out. I was like oooh, someone famous, I better go meet him. So, I went up and talked to him for a bit, asked him about his career (he was in town filming BATS), he showed me a picture of his little twin daughters, and he left me a $10 tip, pretty awesome huh :). Well, needless to say, that night I went home and watched Labamba for the first time.
Still not impressed?
She was very sweet, and I loved her as a singer. I hope she comes out with some cool songs soon. I thought she was very unique and different.
All right, so let’s hear it! What’s your claim to fame story?
That is so cool! I've never met anybody famous, I don't think. But I do want to point out that you have the look of a celebrity. 🙂
That is so neat! Thanks for sharing! I have met Dolly Parton. My grandparents lived in tenn. and we went to dollywood and she was there and I got to say hello. She is super nice! 🙂
All the people I want to meet are dead, so I'll have to wait for the hereafter. Ben Franklin, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and their wives.
MY 6 year old was OBSESSED with Megan Joy last year…. I loved her, but she had the same moves over and over… the sway. I think I"m just jealous b/c I don't have that move!! I did really love her… she got weird in that last show she was on. Nonetheless, daughter and I (only girls) were routing for her til the end!
Where did you meet her?
The only person cool that I actually have ever met was Vince Vaughn- and he said "au-chante" to me….it was pretty funny! He's a nice guy! I also met Natasha Bedingfield – she's really cool too….I would love love love to meet Angelina Jolie – I think she'd be pretty down to earth! Anyways, thanks for stopping by! I'm glad you liked the site!
I met Thomas S. Monson at Disneyland… when I was 2! I have a picture to prove it…somewhere. haha
OK, you're officially sitting at the table with the cool kids now. 😉 I totally would love to meet Julia as well. I've been told I laugh like her…loud and with a huge open mouth! haha
~melody~
Well I definitely think you are the COOLEST now. I have never met anyone famous! Good for you.
I loved her on AI too!!! She was one of my FAVORITES and was so bummed she didn't win that year.
I would LOVE to meet Thomas S Monson too!!
P.S. you are TOTALLY cool! 😉

Just stopping by to wish you a happy SITS sharefest day! Hope your Saturday night is fantastic!
Fun stories.
I used to work for an airline so I 'met' quite a few famous people. I found it interesting to see who was quite nice to the poor worker-people like myself and who were totally rude and nasty. I'm afraid the folks who were rude (or really weird like Bryan Adams) are forever tainted for me.
Hi Crystal, I enjoy what you do over here. I'm a huge fan of Ellen's and Angelina's.
I've met Clint Eastwood. I posted it about it a while back. He was very very nice.
I'm your newest follower.
I'd love to meet Angelina, Britney Spears, Kid Rock, and Adam Sandler.
I met Taye Diggs. He's very nice, very short! 🙂
Bragger :):):)
I LURVED megan Joy–she had such a unique voice and I always wondered if she'd put out an album!!
I went to school with a girl who starred in Annie in LA and was in a movie. I can remember her name…see how famous she was?
Lou Diamond Phillips is awesome! I just watched him in Young Guns a few weeks ago.
I forgot to mention President Monson's home ward was in my husbands ward growing up. He spoke at my brother in laws home coming. Cool huh?
Ok so pres monson is my friend Laurie's grandpa. Her dad looks just like him and she kinda does too:) so I have met James E. Faust and 311 and the two brothers from Good Charlotte benji and whatever Nicole Ricci's guys name is. Umm… I met the band New Edition. So just a bunch if musicians and what not and a church authority. But the one person I would really love to meet I'll have to wait til I die. Porter Rockwell. I named my son after him. My great great great grandfather was his good friend and it even mentions my grandfather to te many greats in the porter rockwell books several times. But I really want to meet him. So amazing. And I would like to meet George W Bush. I don't care what others think if him. I admire him and the fact that he has admitted that he prays every day for guidance.
That's awesome! I totally think your cool 😉
