I've met these individuals from my time working in the cellular and bar industry. Some others were completely random.

Big Baby- Complete a-hole. He broke his T-Mobile Sidekick phone, and refused to go through normal channels for a replacement like a normal person would have to. Was cussing and acting an arse in front of some kids.

Lolo Jones- Gave me her phone number but I didn't know who she was and was in a LTR at the time.

Randy Couture- Cool as shite

Adam DeVine- Pronounced his last name like you would say Adam Levine and he corrected the shite out of me.

Sean William Scott, Patrick Dempsy, Ted Dibiase, Magic Johnson- Cool as shite

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattison, came into the bar I was working at random during karaoke night.

Shaq- Driving home from work late at night sitting at a red light, and this beautiful car pulls up next to me. Shaq is driving and jamming to whatever he was listening to. He looks at me and gives me the peace sign, then drives to the next light in what may have been 2 seconds.

Mannie Fresh- Short as hell

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox

I don't really have a list but my old Gym in Cali the owner is well known and respected so a ton of pro athletes come there during the offseason so I have "met" a lot of them.

There is even a clip of Aaron Hernandez working out there in one of the documentaries about him.





I have also met other celebs at the comedy club around the corner from that gym and also at the FBO in Hawthorne where my friend kept his jet for a while. I didn't actually meet them at the FBO as much as they were coming and going as we were. It'd be weird to go up to one and bother them and I am not a starstruck person so I left it alone.

The Wolf of Wall Street lived a block from me at one point. Never met him, though. Vince Vaughn was arrested by my house for a DUI. The point is living there afforded one a lot of chances to meet celebs if they were into that. I never went out seeking it thought I had a friend whose wife was always star struck and did seek it out.

Tons more I'm forgetting. Most of them through a job I had in college at Bama where I worked a lot of events that had special guests. Didn't even list all the former Bama athletes. Joe Namath, Bart Starr, Cornelius Bennett, Kenny Stabler, Ozzie Newsome, and on and on.

Met AJ Pierzynski outside Tiger Stadium before the 2007 Florida game. I grew up a White Sox fan, so that was kind of cool. He is every bit the a-hole that you would expect.

Aubrey McClendon and his wife had a beach house in Michigan on the same street as my aunt and uncle. I met him at their Fourth of July block party one year. He was just hanging out and eating a hot dog, like a true American.

I’ve been running into Morgan Freeman about once a week for the past couple months on the golf course. He and his lady friend were a hole ahead of me last week. She’s about what you would expect. Blonde, half his age, and well endowed.

Wife met Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in a Metairie toy store. Said they were friendly and she had amazing shoes and purse.

Met Harry Connick Jr. He was a turd.

Lisa Vanderpump multiple times in LA (is she a celebrity?)

Wife also met Seth Rogen on set of End of the World and said he was super chill and friendly.

Met Ric Flair back in 1998 at the old Bonanos Restaurant on Airline Hwy. in BR.

I was at a college graduation party for my girlfriend at the time. As I was walking into the bathroom I bumped into him coming out. It was like bumping into a wall. He steadied me and apologized and patted me on the shoulder. It wasn’t until I was standing at the urinal that it hit me who I’d just seen.

He was a few tables over from us with a few older dudes. They drank a lot of wine and he stopped and shook every hand that came to the table and signed napkins for people and was insanely approachable and friendly.

Later in the evening, as he got more hammered, he dropped a few loud “whoooos!” into his conversation at his table.

It was insanely cool for all the men at our table - the wives and girlfriends — not so much.

List is too long to remember most of it. Caesar's Palace and the Stardust were my babysitters in the 80's. Meeting Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson then was pretty memorable. I hardly remember it but I had a 20 minute conversation with Jeff Goldblum when I was 6 (dad filled me in on details). Goldblum goes out of his way to find my dad and tell him it was the most adult conversation he has had in a month or something to that effect.

I was in an elevator at the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas when the elevator stopped and Eddie Murphy got in. He had a big bodyguard with him. Eddie calls out hit the floor for the bodyguard to press the floor button on the elevator. An older woman that was in the elevator literally hits the floor as if we are being robbed. She spread out on the floor of the elevator and everything gets really quiet. All of a sudden Eddie bursts out laughing. My friend told me he had heard that Eddie sent the woman a dozen roses with $100 bills on them and a note thanking her for the story.

This was the funniest elevator ride I’ve ever been on.
