question of the Week (7/3 - 7/9) --celebrity sighting

Unread post by JazzyCat » Sun Jul 03, 2011 9:00 pm

Here is a way to get to know one another a bit without getting too personal or taking too much time. I will ask a new question every Sunday. Post your response to the question and visit again throughout the week to comment on others’ responses as well.
To get things started, I will always answer the question when I post.

Please feel free to send me a pmail with suggestions on future questions of the week. I have received a few suggestions already. Thanks!

All players that answer the question will get a small gift of thanks from me. At the least: a hug, some food items, and some drink items.

Here is this week's question:
Have you ever unexpectedly sighted a celebrity? Tell us about it!


My family and I were coming home from watching a band and as we were pulling out of the parking lot, my hubby asked if we knew who was in the car that just past us. My dad and I did not notice, but my hubby said it was Woody Harrelson. The car he was in turned about a block up the road and ended up coming to a stop in a paring lot. We pulled in and saw him get out of the car with a cute dog. We just said, "Aloha" to him from our car. He waved and said "aloha" back and we went on our merry way.

Well, living in florida, I see a ton of pro and ex-pro wrestlers. I've seen Hulk Hogan and Rob Van Dam. I actually sold 3 televisions to Rob Van Dam when I was working at circuit city. Funnily enough, he was wearing the same shirt he is wearing on his wikipedia page. ROFLMAO.

You guys will be happy. I typed out a long, drawn-out recollection of my encounger with Arnold Shwarzenegger at the Mall of America for his Jingle All The Way movie premiere. Unfortunately, due to me being drunk and tired, I somehow managed to close my Firefox browser, losing all the information that I typed. I don't feel like retyping it, so here's a super-brief in-a-nutshell summary:

At one time I lived in Minnesota. I visited the Mall of America on a daily, routine basis. One day at around 9 o'clock I ran into a crown of people flooding the third floor. I saw the film's director (who?), Sinbad, and unrecognizable man (who I later found out was Phil Hartman), a man dressed as Turboman, and Arnold himself. Just about everybody there was there since 5 in the morning just so they could SEE him. I got to the mall at my regular 9:30ish time and somehow managed to find myself at the top of a stopped escalator and was the LAST PERSON TO SHAKE HIS HAND before went up to the fourth floor for a private screening of his new movie. I was excited. I didn't wash my hand for days.

All I have to say is this: Don't believe Hollywood! Arnold is SHORT!!! I'm 6'1" and the dude barely came up to my chin. I shook his hand. It was him.

That is my celebrity "sighting."

Also, over this past 4th of July weekend while visiting my dad, I saw Bristol and Sarah Palin at the same mall. Go figure.

For far too many years, LordCretin has worked security at concerts. Some stars keep their heads about them and are lovely, while others succumb to the endless flow of screamers/sycophants and descend into insufferable snobbery. Mixed in there, are shades from ordinary folk to some of the hardiest party animals to crawl out of the proverbial zoo.

Yes, I have seen the dirty laundry.
Yes, I know names and details!
No, I am not going to tell you!!
Mwahahaha!!!

Just call me a tease, if you will, but part of my job is to not publicly gossip. Oh, go on then, I'll let slip one detail, just because it's you guys. Everyone else look away: The Dirty Sanchez lads (the British Jackass) are for real. I would lay odds that no-one here could keep up with them. What a grand group of crazies they are. Fun and friendly, just be sure to make your excuses before you wake up in a pool of (your?) bodily fluids.
