Set across the aisle from Danny DeVito on a flight from Atlanta to Minneapolis. Dude is SHORT and never stopped talking, I mean he talked with everyone anywhere close to him.

I had to fire my private pilot (Harrison Ford), so that’s one time right there.

A bunch.

One of the most memorable was Edwin Edwards. I’d met him once briefly in the early 80s. Much later, a couple weeks before he went to jail, I spent the better part of an evening with him in a small group and he easily remembered meeting me the first time. Sharp (but flawed) dude.

George Wallace back in 1978. He bought me breakfast. Was driving thru bama and stopped at a truck stop around 3am going home on leave. Was kind of cool. And yes, he had his man servant wheeling him around.

Met many more too.

Met Shane Mosley in Houston airport flying to Vegas in 2010. Was just our group and him at the gate. Was real nice guy. He was headed out to fight Shaq in Celebrity boxing match. Also drank a few beers with Bubba Strait at a bar, if kin to celebrity counts.

Damn near everybody from No Limit records 1997- 2000. Almost everyone of them was cool as shite surprisingly,

Marcus Allen,
The late Derrick Thomas, a good many other football players


Alphonso Robero (Carlton from Fresh Prince)
Vanilla Ice (also surprisingly cool)

There are others just can't think clearly on this right now.

I met the Ultimate Warrior at Sports Unlimited in 1989.

Talked to Jonah Hill in an airport.

Shook David Vitter's hand when he was Senator. Subsequently washed it immediately.

Rode in elevators with Jim Haslett and Bette Midler. Not at the same time though.

Met Chino from Deftones.

That's about it.

This is awesome. I bet Devito has some crazy stories. He’s been around Hollywood for a long, long time.

I was behind Herm Edwards in line at a Starbucks in IAH early one morning a couple months ago. Obviously neither of us had our coffee yet, so the encounter was limited to a quick grunt exchange.

That's not necessarily a good thing these days in Hollywood.

Last one I recently came across was Evander Holyfield at MSY.

He had on a badass custom fit 3 piece suit, and still looked to be in better shape than anyone in the vicinity.
