celebrities in airports

Completely random topic, but today Maury Povich was right in front of me at security check at the San Diego airport. My sister spotted him and suggested that we pretend that we were on his show and tell him he helped us figure out who the baby's daddy was, but of course we wussed out and just took pics with our cell phones and giggled like school girls, ha. It seems like almost everyone I know has a celebrity-airport story..... anyone else have any interesting ones?
 
I had a brief chat with Harry Hamlin as he perused the vodka selection before boarding a flight from LAX to Toronto.

On the same flight was a tall, striking redhead, who I saw talking with Hamlin in first class.

As it turned out, she ended up at my gate to make a connection to my final destination. A friend of mine is a stunt man and he had given me a Pirates of the Carribean stunts t-shirt (which I was now wearing). She thought I was a stunt man and began to chat with me.

Turns out she was Molly Culver - the tough bitchy one on Pam Anderson's V.I.P.
 
I saw Robert Hays years ago (appropriately) in an airplane. He was even wearing a leather jacket but didn't have to fly the airplane or anything :laugh:. My boss and I spoke to him briefly at the luggage claim, he was friendly and receptive to our intrusion.
 
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar knocked my mom over by accident in an airport (he didn't see her ... she's 5'2")
 
Er... how soon before he died?

*well... let's just say that this would have been a better joke if ZFarms still had his original "grim reaper" identity... :happy:


HAHA! I miss that.... people have taken over for me lately. :cry: I WANT MY IDENTITY BACK!! lol

I was in an elevator with Spike Lee in New York once. Saw Mark Geragos outside the San Diego city courthouse once. And a friend of mine threw up on Vince Vaughn at a party in L.A. about a year ago. (there's more, but Comic-Con doesn't count)
 
Outside the airport, I've smoked a cigar with Steven Tyler (Aerosmith) he was awesome. Met Vincent D'Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket) at Downtown Disney Florida. Really nice guy. Got Matt Damon's autograph through a friend, and met Robin Williams at Virgin Records in Orlando Florida.
 
I once exited the elevator at my old agency and came face-to-bearded-face with a mauve-jacketed Yakov Smirnoff.

I swear I saw Gary Coleman once at LAX.
 
Saw John Elway in the Airport. He seemed like he didn't want to be noticed, but was polite.

Rode the elevator with Ed McCaffrey. That dude is TALL.

Saw John Entwistle in Manny's Music in Manhattan. I could not believe how good he was, up close and personal.

Ran into Flea in Daytona Beach during spring break. He got arrested later that day (or the next...it's kinda blurry now) for lewd conduct. Go figure.

Oh, but the best was I saw Barry Green last year in Vegas at NAB. Nothing tops that.
 
saw bruce mcullogh, or however you spell it, from kids in the hall in LA once.....on another note i've smoked weed with Lou Diamond Phillips, and Adam Brody.
 
No way...you smoked pot with Adam Brody? Haha, that's a pretty damn cool story.
