At the airport in Cali.<br /><br />~Michael Damien kissed my hand. At the height of his career on Y&R and he was promoting the song he did for the Corey and Corey movie "Dream A Little Dream." I went to see him at the mall where he was performing and me and a friend walked by him, he grasped my hand and kissed it. Wheee!<br /><br />~ Met Keanu Reeves when he and his band Dogstar came to town years ago. I had just seen The Matrix, like, the week before and was trippin' out that I was meeting Neo. We thought the show was over (but it was actually a short break) so we went around back to see if we could meet him. And there he was. No crowd, no guards. He was just drinkin' a Heiny and smoking. He probably smoked somethin' beforehand because he couldn't stand still on stage (he wouldn't look at the crowd, either, just kept his head down) and kept rubbing his nose. He signed one of my checks (because I couldn't find the damn concert ticket) and I giggled something stupid. I'd wanted to say that I really enjoyed The Matrix but it never happened.GeminiWisdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261851580583574204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-36657776503952226162007-02-06T16:21:00.000-08:002007-02-06T16:21:00.000-08:00WOW!

I have two celebrity near-run-in stories.<br /><br />1) When we lived in Springfield, MO I used to fly out of the Springfield-Branson International airport (which is about the size of my house). One time when flying home Janeane Garofalo was on my plane--she was on her way to do a comedy show at the University.<br /><br />2) When I was at Columbia as an undergrad, they were filming "The Mirror Has Two Faces" on campus. Barbara Streisand was the director. On my way to class one day I passed in front of the chapel, unknowingly passing through a scene about to be shot. And walked right past Barbara. She was tiny, a few inches shorter than me, and dressed all in black. I didn't even realize it was her until I was about twenty feet away.<br /><br />Dona, I am SO not sorry about the Nick and Jessica thing... he's one of my weaknesses. =)Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356017077011774393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-17075873914937218052007-02-05T21:03:00.000-08:002007-02-05T21:03:00.000-08:00Awesome dish girls!

He was nice, but he really wanted the producer to show a cut from some movie about Killer Tomatoes he was in.... Yeah. That's what I said.<br /><br />Also I met the real Jenny Craig. She was very, petite, very tan and very thin. Also, very nice...<br /><br />Obviously not J-Lo quality sightings, but that's all I got, people!<br /><br />Hugs!Heather Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010941540615940287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-14491236876383382492007-02-05T20:57:00.000-08:002007-02-05T20:57:00.000-08:00Jessica Alba is tinier than Nadine!

That Marc Anthony line... you couldn't make that stuff up.<br /><br />My best celeb-spotting moment remains my Orlando-Bloom-buying-my-sister-a-drink, closely followed by my sister yelling in my ear: "WANNA MEET ORLANDO BLOOM???" story.<br /><br />The runner-up would be when Jessica Alba came down to the Caymans for Pirates' Week (a November festival where people dress up as - you guessed it - pirates, and mock-raid the Governor's house or something. Fireworks are the highlight). Anyway, I wanted a prime fireworks-watching spot so I headed over to a restaurant with a great view of the marina, and I guess Jessica Alba had the same bright idea. This was when she was still on Dark Angel, which I've never seen, so I was completely unfazed standing next to her, but guys were buzzing around her like flies. Still, considering she was a minor celebrity, they behaved. All I remember thinking is how absolutely TINY she is (about two or three inches taller than me, and ten pounds lighter).Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03276662980308718870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-32184179275656131592007-02-05T11:53:00.000-08:002007-02-05T11:53:00.000-08:00her tan looks sprayed onher tan looks sprayed onAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-33225964800608145572007-02-05T08:37:00.000-08:002007-02-05T08:37:00.000-08:00Marley, I love it! I was sad when Nick and Jessica...Marley, I love it! I was sad when Nick and Jessica broke up. I thought after all that wait-till-marriage-to-have-sex and Newlyweds stuff would really keep them together...but then there were all those rumours that she cheated, he cheated, etc. So sad.<br /><br />I think John Mayer and Jessica look a little weird together, but hey, who am I to judge?<br /><br />As for J.Lo and Marc, I think they both sat down and said, "We both did a lot of stuff to get here, so we're going to be together no matter what." Or something like that.<br /><br />I like J.Lo, despite her seeming selfish and bratty...I mean, how often can someone be a mediocre actor and a mediocre singer and make a whole empire out of it?<br /><br />Tina: I always thought Rita and Tom were some of the classiest people in Hollywood...you literally never hear bad stuff about them :)<br /><br />I love celeb gossip, this week is going to be great!<br />:)Dona Sarkar-Mishrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777520950899454720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33681077.post-73022046974174621802007-02-05T07:12:00.000-08:002007-02-05T07:12:00.000-08:00OMG, Marley, I'm reeling over that Marc Anthony li...OMG, Marley, I'm reeling over that Marc Anthony line! LOL.<br /><br />I don't have any good gossip, per se, but I have a little slice-of-life story to relay about Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks.<br /><br />Years ago, I was waiting in a bank line which wound back to the account desks. Rita walked in, sat down and told the bank lady she needed to close her account. The bank lady asked if she minded telling her why--was she unhappy with their service? Rita said she’d just gotten married and would be merging with her husband’s account. (Insert me quietly giggling.) The bank lady then launched into a pitch about them using their bank services for the family account. I was praying the line wouldn't move up. Would Rita say, “Okay, look, I married Movie Star Tom Hanks and he has a team of accountants for his millions, and we don’t need your little bank?” <br /><br />Nope. She just thanked the lady and said they’d already made up their minds. Class act! <br /><br />Tina<br /><br />www.tinaferraro.comTinaFerrarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356148823775352938noreply@blogger.com
