Do you know a celebrity?

[kimber62372]

I thought it would be an interesting topic to see how many would actually admit to knowing a real celebrity. I don't know any myself, but if I went to California and made up with my sister who kisses Celebrity butt, then I am sure I would get to meet a few. Her "occupation" ...what I like to really call it is "I get used & abused by a celebrity" IS on and off again personal assistant to the celebrities, such as "Paris Hilton", "Paula Abdul", and "Wayne Brady", to name a few. 

Who do you know personally and how did you meet them?

Yes!  I knew a gentleman by the name of "John Costelloe."  Before he became a celebrity he worked with my husband and we all became friends.  He became a firefighter in New York, I believe for about 11 years, after working with my husband, and after that worked in the movies.  Some of his more memorable roles were in "Black Rain," "Die Hard 2" and "Doubt."  He was a great guy!!!  This kid knew every, single, word to the old cartoon "Speed Racer," LOL.  We used to laugh when he sang it.  Unfortunately, John committed suicide in 2008.  We never did find out why.  RIP, John.

Not really, unfortunately I knew someone who made it to the top 10 in American Idol...if that counts...

 I wish, lol. I've only seen 1 or 2 D-list celebs in passing.

I would assume this person would be categorized as a celebrity. I met and knew Lawrencia Bembeneck, the Milwaukee police officer who was convicted (framed) for killing her husband's ex-wife, escaped from Taycheedah Prison, was re-captured in Canada and was released on a no-contest deal made with the courts. One of my closest friends was actually related to her--they were cousins. There were several books/movies made about Lawrencia's life.

I guess sort of. My cousin is a major casting director for many movies. I have met a few celebrities through the years though. They are cool and normal people just like us.

[yaayme]

No, I don't know any celebrities.

[autumnsparklemom]

No, I do know any celebrities personally but have met a couple. I've met Carrol O'Conner, Henry Winkler, Robert Praglo.

When I was a teenager I met a singer because my uncle is a promoter. but as far as recently no I haven't seen my uncle in five years but he is still promoting and so are my cousins. Celebrities are people in a profession and I don't like to mess in their private lives. So I just watch them and let them live.

I have met a lot of people in my day job that would be considered celebrities or past ones but I don't know them personally.

[countrygirl12]

Why would you not admit it?  Just curious?

I do not know anyone personally.  But my dad went to school with a guy that is a movie star today.

[nguzman1]

I have never met a celebrity either but it is not that important to do so.
