Anybody remember the dude on here who met Reese Witherspoon (I think that's who it was) and touched her child?

If you saw them on MTV back in the 80's then I have met them. Most of them are your basic assholes though. Nothing special about any of them.

Pretty good variance as to genres there.

I had three FORD models in my home swimming pool once.

THAT was a good day.

Not that I think he's famous but I met Mikey Strahan at Mothers in NOLA he was a complete arrogant dick. Maybe he had a bad day
I know someone really well who has been working at GMA since before Strahan was there who says the exact opposite from your report.

Mothers line has made me antsy before.

I’ve met a lot of baseball players. HOF’s include Tim Glavine, John Smoltz, Billy Williams, Fergie Jenkins, Chipper Jones, Wade Boggs, and Reggie Jackson. Met Harry Carry too in Atlanta.

As far as politicians go, met G.H.W. Bush. Met Bob Carr when he was Premier of New South Wales. He later became the Australian Foreign Minister.

I’ve met three astronauts: Charlie Duke (Apollo 16); Fred Haise (Apollo 13); and Bob “Hoot” Gibson who flew five shuttle missions.

Never met any Hollyweird types.

Went out for a morning walk on East Beach in St Simons. Davis Love was right outside our beach access and turns out he lived about a half mile away. Let me and a couple buddies use his paddle board (I was probably 14). Really nice guy.

That’s about it though as far as actually meeting an athlete.

Ron Wood, 1985 at a book signing. Talked close to 5 minutes. He was very intrigued by the ticket stub from the Tattoo You tour I asked him to sign. Held it above his head and just stared at it almost like he’d never seen a Stones stub. He chatted about his current tour with BB King and was then prodded by his handler to sign the book and ticket stub. Nice guy but kind of spaced out.

That’s pretty cool. Those females in the background look like they’re ready to pounce on ScarJo.

Saw Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed in Myrtle Beach years ago. They stayed at the same hotel as we were and saw them together in the lobby. I then saw Gene the next day at the hotel bar where he was sitting there alone. I let him be
