When I was in Las Vegas checking in at Bally's (we had VIP check-in because of my step father) and I turned around, behind me in line was Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger. I just smiled and turned back around. BTW - he is quite short. Maria was beautiful and pregnant.

I was in the Casino with Andrew Dice Clay (No desire to meet him). We were both shooting craps, but he was at a different table. That same trip, my folks shot craps with Rodney Dangerfield at Caesars.

Many moons ago I went to collect my sister and her friend from a Jefferson Starship concert and they got wind that the band was going to be staying at the Hilton here in Lansing, so off we went to find them. So we snuck into the Playboy Club (yes, we had the last one in existence right here) and got Craig Chaquico's autograph (the guitar player) before they threw us all out. No luck finding Grace Slick which is the only reason I cared at all. On the way out we ran into one of their opening band's (Aldo Nova) members, but I couldn't tell you who, and chatted with him for a bit.

Of course as a Michigander, I also ran into Ted Nugent at a 7-11 (he was buying a slurpee - I was playing Ms. Pacman after school).

I never met him, but I flew in John Waters for our Pride March.

I have also met Mimi Gonzales (lesbian comedian), she dated a friend of mine, if anyone knows who she is.

Well that's all the name dropping I got for ya.
