One time Justin Timberlake came in and somehow managed to wrestle one of those tricep machines into working his biceps. One of the staff members came over to try to tell him the correct way to do it, but he got pissed and went to the empty aerobics room to do dance moves for 30 minutes then left.[/quote]
This actually made me laugh.
Dirk Benedict (Battlestar Galactica and the Faceman from the A Team) lived in a shack by my parent’s friends. Went fishing with him once. Decent guy. He’d been divorced like 3 times and was plumb broke.
None of them are really “famous” but they were all MMA Fighters. Back when I was training at the Armory in Florida, I trained under Kurt Pellegrino and Hermes Franca. They would always have people come down for events and training seminars so you would meet other fighters threw that. Miguel Torres, Brandon Vera, list goes on and on. Most of them were all pretty laid back and would help with anything inside the gym.
I met Christian Bale one time, he trashed my lights and told me to start acting like a fucking professional.
WhiteFlash, one unexpected hit doesn’t count for shit! Lets be real. Oh and fuck north side kings.
Just sayin’ 
Brant broke the interwebs… Posts don’t work anymore
Whiteflash, don’t be. Plenty of people out there make him look like a choir boy. Been working crisis intervention for 17 years. One of the evilest men I have ever met, looks just like santa claus. I’m not kidding.
Met a good number of famous people, most pretty nice.
Trey Parker (of South Park fame) was a complete dick though. Met him in Tokyo.
When working bars in Chicago I was once attacked by Joan Cusack for carding her. Kicked out Hunter S. Thompson, was pissed afterwards when I realized who it was. A friend, a complete thug, got drunk and tried to start a fight with David Schimmer, that was funny as hell. Met all sorts of different celebs, actors and rockers. The majority were amazingly short and small. I don’t know how Slash manages to live, he is so stupid.
I was at the market a few years ago and ran into Donovan McNabb at the deli. Very cool guy. My girlfried during that time (who didn’t watch football) came around the corner and I introduced her.
“Stephanie, meet Donovan McNabb.”
“Oh, Hi! You’re the guy that does the Campbells chunky soup commercials with your Mom.”
McNabb couldn’t stop laughing.

I used to be a doorman at a top swish Glasgow restaraunt and met my fair share of celebrities. Some were nice as pie and others were total cunts.
KD Lang - Totally up herself and reeked of bad attitude. Looks like a fucking dude as well.
Helena Christiansen - Hot as fuck but a fucking rude cow. Didn’t even leave me a tip. Even Z listers leave tips but this uber babe turned whorebag was on some superior shit. Beautiful eyes though.

Who the fuck are those people? You guys don’t have celebrities, or even pop culture in Scotland. All the real celebrities are American.
Lucy Liu - very much the lady
Charles S Dutton - humble yet, proud.
Santana - coolest man on Earth.
Now I’ve heard bad things about Vin Diesal, but for us he was cool as anyone you’d meet. Also if you make him laugh enough . . . he giggles. I kid you not.
I met Lee Corso!! Dude was pretty cool

…you don’t know how KD Lang is?
I met Titan from the debunked American Gladiaters he was the man. Was easy to talk to and laughed just like we were old friends.
Jay Cutler at the Arnold Classic seemed like an awesome dude and really a class act.
Bad expercience was the now fired Astro’s manager. My friend’s dad recieved free dianond club seats to a Red’s game because he is terminal with cancer. He loves baseball, and is unable to speak. So my friend and I try to talk to the manager while he is not doing anything watching his players warm up their arms. We tried for quite awhile and the guy just acted like we didn’t exist.

You don’t say, you guys worship celebrities out there.
I work in the events industry (yes, it’s a real industry!), but I’m a all round graphics & IT guy. Occassionally I’ll meet some of the presenters we use on our shows, but most of them are ok & UK entertainers - Jimmy Carr, Alan Carr (gave me the eye), Rob Brydon, Stephen K Amos(mate at work is friends with him), Simon Amstell (Nevermind the Buzzcocks), Bill Bailey (He’s awesome!), Frankie Boyle, Al Murray…mostly comedians and entertainers.
Only one to date was John Sergeant (Who was on that dancing with the stars program here - I think). Total moron went off on my work mate at a show because HE couldn’t present properly.

I don’t know HOW she is, but maybe that’s because I’m not a lesbian…
Hm, my dad sings in Washington Opera, Placido Domingo is the director there. He says he’s a real nice guy, easy to talk to. My babie’s mother is Faith Evan’s cousin, she’s probably biased since they’re family, but always had nice things to say about her. One of my best and oldest friends interns with Jamie Fox in LA, likes him a lot and says he’s real fun to hang out with. I had a freshman level math class at UMD with Steph Blake. This was fall semester 2001, before they won the championship in 2002. Seemed normal, didn’t talk much, but all the guys in the class were on his jock.

Funnily enough I am yet to meet any fighters that come across as anything but cool. Dean Lister was absolutely fucking hammered when I met him though, literally could not stand up on his own drunk. Was at a Joe Rogan stand up gig. Very funny!
