    Dakota Fanning is my 3rd cousin... I've only met her once though.

    David Morse walked out in front of my sister car in Philly. I met Richard Geres father when I was 5. I worked at a Quiznos in Mooresville NC and met about 15 Nascar Drivers. I saw Junior pulling in his driveway and my buddy cut off Michel Waltrip and he flipped us off.

    A bunch of the falcons players come to my work on a regular basis (Todd McClure, Derek rackley-before he got traded, Micheal Jenkins, and Deangelo Hall)... My bro-in-laws best friend is Jeff saturday (colts), and my 3rd cousin is married to steven spielbergs sister, so apparently we used to go to movies when I was little with them.

    Edit: and if you count professional wrestlers as a celebrity.. Ive met a few of them...

    Well I've met alot of celebrities through my various jobs.lol 1st was at the Airport International Concourse, met: Hulk Hogan, & Roddy Piper( they ate 20 Ham & Cheese croissants with Hashbrowns, 6 cokes, I swar it was unbeleivale watching them eat that shyt.lol).

    Dennis Rodman,Shaq, & I think thats it from the Airport.

    I was a shipping supervisor at the supplier of Turtles,Peppermint,& various other Atlanta-based record stores, so I know personally the man who started & owned Turtles music, I know the onwer of Backstage Music too.

    Now there I met: Pink, Usher,Kelly from Destiny's Child,Trina,Trick Daddy,Tyreese,Olivia,112,Crystal Wilson,Angie Stone,Chilli, & Left Eye ( RIP) thats all I can think of so far. I only took pics with the girls.


    Dumb thins I may have said...asked Kelly where Beyonce was, she told me she wasn't coming I left the room LMAO When me & my cousin ran into Chilli & Left Eye at Lenox Mall, he at 1st didn't beleive it was Chilli, so he tried to talk to her, she laughed, as did I.

    So while he went ahead & got their autograpgh, Left Eye asked me if I wanted one, I said "sure, but where's T-boz"? She said she wasn't there, I left.lol I love those two girls.lol ....Vegeta

    I was doing a track day on my Kawasaki ZX6R at Little Tally, and Josh Hayes (2006 AMA Formula Extreme champ) was there riding with his g/f. I passed him while he was riding slow waiting on someone. He followed me a while, then passed me and motioned for me to follow him. He led me around for a couple of laps to help me with my lines. Def. a cool experience.

    I have a pic of me with Kelly Hu (scorpion king, maxim, x-men) and The lead singer from SR-71, I think his name is Mitch Allen. They came out to Iraq when I first got out here. Toby Keith also came out here but I missed his show due to a mission. I have also met General George Casey, the man in charge of all troops in Iraq, he is a bit of a celebrity in the political world.

    I hung out with the members of the band Tool before a concert in Miami in Dec 1996. It was when their third album (including the first EP) was out and they were getting pretty huge. Hung out w/ Maynard for an hour or so before soundcheck, then got to chill on stage with them during soundcheck (it was insane standing 2 feet away from them as they were playing shit like H., Stinkfist and Third Eye), then hung out for another hour or so after the show.

    I was standing next to Steve Garvey (famous baseball player) at Ruth's Criss in Ft. Lauderdale for 10 minutes and didn't know it was him until someone else told me.

    Ben Stein (Bueller.. Bueller..) was on the same flight as me from LA to Denver. I got to talk to him for a few minutes while waiting to get to my seat.

    I ran into Fantasia Barrino (won American Idol a couple of years ago) as I was walking up to the door of my hotel room in San Fran last December. She was just standing in the hallway talking to a friend of hers about a party in Charlotte.

    John Mellencamp is my third cousin, but I've never met him. Just his mom and dad.

    I ran into Buff Bagwell from WCW/NWO at Hartsfield like 8 years ago. And then I ran into King Mabel (huge black wrestler with a mohawk and weird eyes) at the Ft. Laud airport a month or two later.
