Connections to Celebritys

[Xterminator27]

Well most people have close or distant connections with celebritys, weather is your friends uncles friend or whatever, most people DO have some kinda connection, so the question here is, who HERE has a connection (big or small) with any celebrity?

As for me, my Moms best friends brother is the bass player for Kim Mitchel (Well, there all retired now)

So who here has any connection to who and how?

[farmgirl]

I have a couple, but they aren't very exciting, lol.

My hubby used to play softball with a professional hockey player. Don't know if that would be considered a celebrity but he was on tv so I guess so.

I know a guy who lived next to the Aunt of the girl on a Meatloaf cd cover.

And the woman in the record store I frequent, went to college with Michael Gross and has him over for dinner.

LOL...that's all I can think of right now.

[RMadd]

I know Mark Tremonti's brother... sort of, anyhoo lol
my aunt has met Billy Bob Clinton (worked on his campaign)... ironic, eh? she's a crazy hippie, tho

[Mulletman]

Well I come from a large political family, but I dont think thats what you meant by celebs. My dad's uncle was President of Mexico, before Fox. We've had several members of our family hold some office is Mexico, parts of latin america and europe. My grandpa was chief of police in Mexico. My dad worked on former President Bush's campain and through him met Dubya. He also worked on his campaign and is now one of his top advisors from Texas. I've met several top political figures, but other than that. I dont know anybody. I had a friend to who worked at an AMC movie theatre and we met Kevin Spacy there once and that seems to be what interests everyone.

who says politicians aren't celebrities? i heard recently that, while many concerts this summer, including those large festivals, are coming nowhere near selling out, G-Dub and John "my billionaire wife wears the pants in this relationship" Kerry are attracting ginormous, overflow crowds to their campaign rallies.

[Mulletman]

Oh dude, I know. I was in New York City for the RNC and it was packed from wall to wall. To top it off, they dont look political anymore. With all the flashy lights and banners its like one huge ass award show.

[RMadd]

oh, I would've loved to have gone to that! Damn school...
did you, by chance, buy any of that red carpet lol? i heard they were gonna be selling it somewhere (all 30,000 sq ft) after the convention was over

[Dogstar]

I have no such connections to any celebrities.

My sister-in-law lives around the corner in NYC from Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick. Does that make me within 2 degrees of Kevin Bacon?

[farmgirl]

Like Dogstar, I don't have any celebrity connections. Although when one of my sister's lived in CA, she went to a concert with a friend who had backstage passes and she was right next to Bonnie Raitt.

My French teacher went to college with Bruce Willis and said he thought he he was all big and bad on campus and that he's an asshole (although she didn't say that) :D

Oh, and I forgot on my last post... in addition to having met Steve Young, a guy I know really well use to play football with him at Brigham Young University, and played a year of baseball with the Milwaukee Brewers. Also, one of my teachers in high school is the godfather of Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens.

[Xterminator27]

Actually guys, by connections, i dont mean liek you "met" them or got his autograph, i mean by more of a personal level of connection someone.

For example, a singer meets thousands of fans every day, those fans who meet him dont have any conection, they just got his autograph EXC

[Higher_Desire]

Well, like I said, I personally know members of Kurt Cobain's family (even though I don't think I'll be able to meet him anytime soon. lol), as well as knowing Justin Smith of the band Jericho Road, and know two people who know ex-pro football player Steve Young, and one of them knows Steve Clark (another former NFL player), poet Ken Brewer (a friend of my college president), and I live near the father of Torrie Wilson, one of the WWE divas.
