I got a big surprise

I travel quite frequently to Vegas. One night while at a show a gentle man came into the theater surrounded by what seem to me to be body guards. They asked me if I could please move over one seat that they had someone that really wanted to sit in my seat. I was taken aback but figured sure why not. I moved over one seat allowing him to take my seat. He sat down and said thank you I almost feel out of my seat when I looked to the man that had taken my seat. I was and I am not joking Michael Jackson. He was in vegas for a very short visit and he had come to see the same show I was at.. The Commodors. Which by the way was an awsome show.

Hi ya cynthiann That sounds like a nice surprise, who was it by the way? G'won you can tell me I won't tell anyone, honest!! Hahaha. I once worked in a health club and saw this man walk in with his wife and I instantly recognised him. She approached the desk and he stood behind her not saying a word. I was so embarrassed that I could barely look her in the eye but I dealt with her and her husband almost as I would any other customer but it was so hard, I didn't want them to see how red my face had gone!!

Years ago I took my brother to see Hamlet when Keanu Reeves was playing his role. While I was there I noticed someone who I recognized sitting in the front row. I wanted to make sure I wasn't seeing incorrectly so I walked by her and it was her. I went and introduced myself and explained that we were from the same town and she was friendly. My son's dad was working on shift at a hospital while he found this credit card on the ground and decided to turn it into the lost and found when he was reading the name on it and it said Patrick Swayzee. (I know I spelled his name wrong). He was in shock when he realized who's credit card he had. The hospital held onto it until Patrick Swayzee came to pick it up. My ex works in a hospital where they shot some films. Shannon Doherty (from 90210) was also there too.

Ooh, I'm curious as to who it is. The only major celebs I've met are baseball players. I was really into baseball in my late teens, and I got to meet Derek Jeter before he was a famous player. Some of them are really nice, but others are really rude. I guess it's the same with any celebrity. Some are nice and try to sign as many autographs as possible while others just ignore you and try to pretend you don't exist.

Actually I have. I have met a Country Singer and a professinal fottball player both. Both were very ordinary people and did not want to draw attention to themselves at the time. The pro football player I actually had dinner with and didn't even know who he was! But then again I'm not into football! LOL He found it amusing.

As a musician I've met a lot of people who would be considered celebrities in their particular fields, but not in the sense that some of those you mention are. The sort of music I have played has been classical when I was young and acoustic folk through most of my career. However I have met one relatively famous person, Colin Hay from Men At Work. He is actually a very good folk musician, that was his roots, and I actually got to jam with him at one of the festivals we both appeared at. Lash

I used to see celebrities walking like ordinary people and it is nice to see them be glamorous and chic. cheers!!

So lucky you guys are! I haven't met any celebrity till now yet. I always feel so lost about that. Many of my friends have experiences of meeting someone famous. But i haven't. I really hope i can meet somebody, even just at a glance. That will be ok. And, do you guys have any advice about where to meet celebrities? i wish to get help from you. ^_^ Thanks

I have always thought that celebrities were just ordinary people who had earned money through their talent. I have never had a fascination for someone just because they were famous. I know some of them let it go to their heads and can end up in trouble but they are not gods or anything special. I am glad that he was a nice person and since he was middle aged he has probably settled down quite a lot.

This is beyond weird. Every time I reply to this post, it disappears. Surely mentioning a celebrity's name isn't against guidelines?

i'm never met any celebrity until now.. hmm, i really wondering how would it ended up. is it going to bi like your experience? or as many people think it would be.. happy mylotting guys!!

Hi,to meet someone who is famous is a pleasure thing. This can add a little fun for our dull life.

This reminds me of my niece who at the time was maybe only around 13. It was July 4th weekend and our little town was having the General Lee Celebration and Lee Greenwood was the main attraction. Well when he came out on stage she went crazy , you would have thought she was at a rock concert , The funny part is she was screaming and did not even know who he was . Needless to say she mananged to get herself up front and was screaming like someone was chasing her with a machete or something . Well Mr. Greenwood found this amusing so he asked her name and she told him, he took her hand and shook it . OHHHHH Lord , for the next week all I heard was I'm never washing this hand again. And I believe if I hadn't made her wash her hands she probably wouldn't have washed it ever again.........lol

Last year I was working at a boat show and met Bill Murray. Real nice guy, was there with his sons. Did not get to sell him a boat though. Working with a boat dealership I have met several tv fishing show host and football players, all have been real nice. Larry Czonka is a real great speaker. Received an award from Jack Nicholson, hand shake, take picture and get off stage.

Well, back when I worked at our Local Airport I had the Chance to meet James Duhan and talk with him. He was the original Scottie from Star Trek. And in 2007 when my husband and I were in NYC he got the priviledge of shaking hands with Cuba Gooding Jr. It was so awesome to see these 2 upclose. And who was the Singer you got a chance to see?

You have me curious. You better let me in on it when the VIP guest is gone! I have never met anyone famous. I don't really get into the whole going crazy over celebrity thing either though.

don't know too many celebrities but i bet they put their pants on one leg at the time just like we do. glad they were nice to you.

Hey cynthiann! Well who is this mystery celebrity? Would I know who it is? I'm glad that they were nice people! There really are some celebrities who are nice so they say! I haven't met any so I couldn't tell you! I'm glad that things are going well for you at your part time job at least! You should have less stress at one of your jobs! I just wish it could be that way at your full time job too!
