    I know some of you will have tons and others won't have any, but...

    I once met Nastassja Kinski when she was in Montreal filming Hotel New Hampshire. She was fuckin' hot then and still looks pretty good...

    James Caan (spent the whole day with him), Benicio Del Toro, and everyone else that was on The Way of the Gun.
    Sean Penn, Penelope Cruz, Joaquin Phoenix, blah, blah.
    Went to the Academy Awards and the afterparties on the year that Julie Roberts won and wouldn't shut up.
    Used to play paintball with Curt from Tears for Fears.
    My wife and I worked in LA (she was a publicist for a shitload of directors and writers), I worked for a web design firm that did a lot of movie sites, so between our two jobs (mainly hers) we met a ton of people.

    Celebrity got pretty boring pretty fast. Most of them were just total insecure douches. I hate to generalize, but it is so true. Some were really cool, but had to remain very reserved and stand-offish because there are so many leeches in that town. James Caan was a fucking stud. Super cool guy. So is Benicio Del Toro.

    Gary Coleman is not big.

    A) when I was 14 me and a bunch of buddies walked up to the Joyce center at Notre Dame to see the WWF. That night on the way home we stopped at 7-11 to play Gauntlet. Well who happens to walk in? Greg "The Hammer " Valentine and Brutis "The Barber" Beefcake. The asked to get directions to the toll road and I went over and asked Greg for his autograph and he replied "Fuck Off"

    B) My 1st job out of the army was selling cars at a place called Coral Dodge in Mishawaka Indiana. The sales manager there Was Rudy Ruddiger. He is the guy they made the movie Rudy about. He wasnt famous then but It was about 2-3 years later they made the movie. He looked me up and I got to be a gopher for the director of the movie(no pay) so I got to meet alot of the cast.

    i actually did meet waco once. he just busted out of the $2500 buy-in at the LAPC and was pissed and said he couldn't talk long. we chatted for about 3 minutes then he excused himself.

    it's a good thing too...if we stood there any longer i might have cut his head of, pasted it on top of someone else's body, taken a picture and then posted here on p5s. i shudder when i think of how i almost cost the guy over $500k in live poker winnings.

    Do you think celebrities have a message board somewhere? "Random douche encounters -- post your most uncomfortable experience with some random poor person."

    I tried to fight with Ex New Orleans Saints Rickey Williams... lol Here's basically what happened... It was my bday about 7/8 years ago or so and a couple buddies and I went to Hooters (sfstandard)... We were talking up the waitresses, drinking way to much draft beer and munching on them awesome wings... So in walks Ricky, Pj Franklin (WR from Tulane). This was Rickys rookie year so New Orleans was buzzing about him. So Obv a bunch of people were walking up asking for autographs and he would look disgusted and tell them stuff like "I am here to eat not to sign stuff". So we figured we would do it more politlely. We sent a round of beers(corana's) to there table. Told the waitress to ask Rickey to come sign some hooters shirts for our kids and left it at that. So she brings the drinks over, he acknowledges us from his table and tells the waitress to let us know that he will come over after he eats. So we were cool with that. Well they finished eating, they paid, tipped $500 (know this cause we had the same waitress and it was her best tip yet) and he walked out... Walking right past us and when my buddy said "Ricky how bout them autographs?", Rickey looked right thru him and walked out. So we were pissed. We paid our bill and then PJ Franklin comes back into Hooters looking for his Wallet. He lost apparently. So I walk outside. Guess what, that douche's Hummer is parked right next to my truck.

    So I walk over and he has the window down and is on his cell. I am like "yo bitch boy, no respect? You fk'n Texas punk" He rolls his window up. I start screaming... get out the truck bitch, cmon bitch boy... let me show ya what coonasses do to punks with no respect.... OBV he doesn't get out... So PJ walks out and I tell him, tell ya punk ass friend to get out the truck so I can make a man out of him... PJ looks scared as shit as we have 4 of us and were all screaming at them.. He backs out and we jump in my truck and follow him... I end up right on the side of him at a redlight.... he is in the right hand lane and were screaming pull over etc...etc He makes a quick turn on a side street so we just head to Centerfolds to look at some naked chicks... FU RICKEY WILLIAMS...

    Met Clyde Drexler too, class act....

    I caddied for Michael Jordan & Charles Barkley (separate occasions) at the private golf club I was working at the last few years. Both awesome guys and very generous. MJ is a player, Barkley.... well his swing needs some work. But both just have a great time out there and cracking jokes. Definetly the highlights of my caddying days.

    Smoked blunts with Dante Hall when he lived on the Plaza and played for KC....

    umm used to hang out at derrick thomas' house back in the 90s....older sister babysat for them, so I just tagged along.

    Ladell Betts (redskins RB) is in my backyard right now swimming with his daughter, my sister is in town from Cali, and they graduated HS together in '97. Interesting fact- Redskins WR Brandon Lloyd went to the same HS as Ladell...Blue Springs High...weird they end up on the same team in the NFL.

    havent really met many celebs not counting all the years I wasted staying after EVERY royals homegame just to get a few autographs. Only memorable moment that sticks out is taking pics with Rickey Henderson...He was a nice guy.

    Samuel L. Jackson- While filming in NY, I somehow ended up right next to him, not realizing who he was at the moment. Me being the dumbass I am, I asked him who the star of the film was. GG me. You should've seen the look he gave me.

    Michael Imperioli (Sopranos)- Comes into where I work every so often. Seems like a very nice guy.

    Tyra Banks- Doing some sort of promo at K-mart or one of those stores. The fk'd up thing about that was, I was in JHS at the time and didn't have a camera to take a pic with her. Some dude offered to help me take a pic of us if I'd helped him take a pic of him and Tyra. Obv. I did it, gave him my address and guy never sent it out. What a horrible thing to do to a 12yr old. Well, at least I got her autograph.

    Tony Hawk, Carey Hart, and etc.- Meet and Greet at Boom Boom Huck Jam.

    (a few more I can't seem to remember)
