Re: What celeb did you meet in person?

I met Robin Givens back when she was with Mike Tyson. She was really nice.

The entire cast of Spin City when Michael J. Fox was on it. I always said I could die a happy woman if I ever met him, so now I can. Boy is he short!!! But he is a sweetheart, and one of the few celebrities that is still with his first wife!
And Heather Locklear is very tiny!!!

I met Richard Bey when my friend and I were supposed to be on his show (anyone remember him?) He was short too!!

I met Joey McIntyre from New Kids on The Block about 2 years ago in a dive bar. He got razzed the whole night and I was so drunk, I called him Joey Lawrence.

I met Opie and Anthony, I don't know if they count. I was a lot thinner then, and they were a-holes IMO.

I also saw Salma Hayek once in a Duane Reade, and I love her, but didn't have the nerve to go up to her to ask for her autograph.

ETA They were once filming an episode of Sex and The City in front of my office, so I met Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis. Both very nice.

Also met Jennifer Connolly, they were filming 'Dark Water' in front of the same office!

When I was ballgirl I would meet the celebs that were there to throw out the first pitch: Susan Lucci, Buddy Hackett, Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, Mayor Dinkins.

Also we'd hang out w/ the Mets often....Ron Darling, John Franco, Dave Cone, Bobby Ojeda, Darryl Strawberry, Wally Whitehurst, Jeff Innis, etc.

Michael Jackson, yes I know.. my father's best friend was his personal assistant for many years. Also Janet and some of the other brother's.

a few soap stars, because I used to work in a drug store around the block from the studio they film in during high school. From OLTL, I met Bo, Tina, Cord, Vicky and a few others.

Chris Rock, P. Diddy, Russell Simmons, Patti Labell, Luther Vandross, Regina Bell, at a party we went to with my dad's best friend.

Re: What celeb did you meet in person?

The whole band NSync - so nice and dorky

Didn't meet but saw:
Woody Harrelson (rollerblading down the street in Malibu - I LOVE him)

Moby (at his cafe in NYC - I was totally star struck. I love him too and his CD was one of the reasons I became a vegetarian 10 years ago - this was the day I got engaged)

Tony Shaloub (from the Monk - at an airport in CA. He looked grumpy though, so I didn't go over, but I love his show!)
