Isn't Manilow like richer than God?

 

Didn't he end up filing for bankruptcy at some point in his career and basically had to start all over by doing a Las Vegas act because he spent more than he made?

Not sure Nicki... when I met him in 1991, he was coming up to perform at some rich kid's Bar Mitzvah in Toronto... so I am assuming that he wasn't richer than God at the point....

[Amanda Bella 421]

I met Bebel Gilberto the Brazilian singer born in New York and raised

in Rio de Janeiro and because we are fom the same home town we connected immediatelly she was approachable and warm with me.

She was in Montreal singing at the Espectrum and i waited for her after

her show.

[PistolPete 61421]

Quite a few sport celeb's over my time, played football with 1 that made to the CFL. A couple hockey players that played in the NHL,a couple of local well known lawyers.

I've met Gretzky,Domi, Chara,Fisher,Orr,Brett Hull, and Mike Weir.

 

I think the best was meeting Todd Gill in Toronto at a bar, we were all having some cold pints after a golf tournament fund raiser.A patron says to him "wasn't Domi doing your wife?":shock:

I thought the gloves were going to drop..right there and then!

Pete - as a young teenager, like some of my other girlfriends,

I had such a big crush on

Number 4, Bobby Orr.

 

And I've always been a Habs Fan, so to have a crush on a BB player was like...sssssh...

[Victoria Banks 21899]

Hulk Hogan who seemed drunk drinking straight grey goose this winter in Florida.

 

Pornstar Nikki Benz this fall at 3 in the morning at the minto suites.

[dirkgently 1778]

In the 80's I met Joe Montana and Kim Mitchell, in the 90's I met Jacques Villeneuve and Margaret Atwood, in the 00's Lindsey Lohan (and she was sober) and Bill Gates. No one in the 10's...yet.

 

a varied group, but everyone of them were perfectly pleasant and easy to talk to.

[Grass_Hopper 18263]

at the time of RESET (alternative music group), the bassist was my guitar teacher. Now, RESET changed their name for SIMPLE PLAN.

 

Also, from Eastern Township, Donald Sutterland has a little house in Sherbrooke. Him and my grand-mother use to be good friends and do their groceries toghetter...

 

And PINK reffered me to her favorite tattoo artist... Brian at PLANET INK EXTREME. (Lower back piece and neck tattoos...)

 

WILL I AM, WUCLEFF JEAN, GAME AND LL COOL J are always hanging at the barbershop PieIX-45th avenue, or at my favorite restaurant on the 10th avenue, in Montreal.

 

JEAN PASCAL is with us every month at CIRCUS AFTER-HOURS in Montreal...

Sabrina: Donald is a handsome man, but his son Kiefer Sutherland rocks!

[Carrie Moon 68826]

I know (knew, those who passed) the parents of the Tragically Hip. Does that count?

:p

too funny. I know 2 members of the hip. Same age as me.. and went to Queen's

 

Yes, Dan Akroyd has a place on Loughborough Lake, just north of Kingston. I have run into him at various occasions downtown Kingston. He likes the Pan Chancho Bakery.

:p

 

Met Dan as well in Kingston back in those days.

 

I have met several porn actors in LA - Peter North, Mika Tan, Nina Hartley, Ron Jeremy, cousin stevie etc etc etc...

 

I also met a few mainstream actors in LA at a coffee shop I went to who would try to act normal when I responded that no.. I wasn't a mainstream actor but rather in adult films.

 

One was Brian Romalotti (I immediately phone Angela to tell her as she is/was a big Y&R freak).. he plays Rex Stirling

 

Another was Elias Koteas http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000480/ who I met a few times at the same cafe.He seemed very shy but talked to me about NYC where he came back and forth from to LA when I would chat him up.

 

I also met Lorenzo Lamas who I had a major crush on when I was younger http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001444/bio I met him on the red carpet for a lame movie called One Two Many http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0882755/

 

I was with Bethany Sweet after a shoot and jumped at the chance to go to a red carpet event. The movie was so lame we left 1/2 way through. I bet none of you have even heard of it!

 

Now.. none of these (other than Bethany of course) are people I met as clients or had sex with. The rest must remain a mystery.

A relative of mine went to the same high school as Tom Green and we were at a local mall in Ottawa one afternoon when he jumped into the water fountain fishing for pennies while a security guard was chasing him. He was a wierdo back then and still is now! LOL.

I heard about that at the Place D'Orleans Mall like 4 or 5 years back.

What a joker.. :roll:

[Carrie Moon 68826]

Hey Nikki... I pinched Tom Green's butt when he was at the same bar where Ron Jeremy was doing his tour of his movie in the market. I think it was called China White? I have no idea what it's called now.

The 80s:

I was buying boots at a custom leather store in Toronto at the same time the band Duran Duran were in shopping.

 

I worked for a media consulting firm and got to meet such people as Tom Cochrane, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Ronnie Hawkins, Helex, Lee Aaaron, Glass Tiger, Jane Siberry, etc.

 

I "de-virginated" the head of a well known record label whose name I will not publish, but if you were to google his name, he's all over the Internet.

 

I used to hang around the same crowd as Jeff Healey before he starred in Roadhouse and has career took off seeing how we were all into blues and going to open jam nights at Grossman's Tavern on Spadina Ave (near College Street in Toronto.

 

While in Los Angeles, met Scott Columby who was in that movie "Porky's". Also met Erin Moran, who played Joanie Cunningham on Happy Days.

 

A former boss was best friends with Allan Gregg when he was head of Decima Research in Toronto back and I used to run stuff over to his office - he was one of the original financial backers of The Tragically Hip, so I got to go to a lot of parties back then.

 

In the past few years...just members of Parliament - big deal!

 

No famous "clients" (that I know of) yet.

 

A sister SP of mine who is Francophone had a famous American comedian visit her, but she never clued in as to who he was until she was flipping thru the late night talk shows and lo and behold, there is was trading cracks with Letterman.

 

It's a small world - so make sure if you do anything indiscreet, you hide the evidence and if asked, DENY, DENY, DENY.

 

I know several famous people including singers, a couple porn stars, a few world famous military demonstration teams. I even had the home phone numbers for several members of Bon Jovi, until some idiot nurse cleaned out my back pack, and threw out the paper they were written on.

[Dorinda Bloom 44036]

I met Rick Mercer at a Winnipeg hotel....was totally star- struck! Now....to meet Lloyd Robertson, I just love that man!

I slept with a guy in Halifax on a working trip that I'm sure was Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys. Minus the funny voice and glasses.

Had lunch with Paul Newman on the beach in front of his house in Connecticut in the late 80s. I teach auto racing at a nearby race track and 2 summers ago I was humbled to have Jaques Villeneuve drive my car around the track MUCH quicker than I have ever been able to do it. Have taken John Travolta for a flight in my personal airplane.

[LuxeMulvari 65764]

Method Man in Detroit....

 

Met a few members of D12 but not Eminem....they get treated like regular people in Detroit...they just walk around like you or me....

 

Seen kid rock driving Gratriot once there too.....that was the nicest Cadillac I've ever seen!!!!

 

Once when I was a stripper in Niagara falls my boss came a got me and brought me to a champagne room and told me to go inside....there was a very famous rapper who came in through the kitchen doors because he wanted to be discreet....I was so shocked I almost fainted...tipped me VERY well....I didn't have to work for a month after!!!

of all the posters in this thread I'm the most jealous of you... Paul Newman and John Travolta. nice!

[Guest c******n****h]

I played hockey into University and had a number of ex-teamates make it to the NHL. The great thing about hockey players, is that they never consider themselves to be celebrities. It always amazed me watching a succesful businessman fall all over himself to meet some of the hockey players. I remember going with one player to a Bruce Springsteen concert and getting backstage to meet the Boss. My buddy was practically speechless. He talked about for days after.

Also met Arnold Palmer at his golf course in Florida. What a gracious man! At the end of the day, a celebrity is just like you and I except they have a really cool job, or make lots of money. I have met a number of actors who wished they were pro athletes and a number of pro athletes who wished they were rock stars. It's all a state of mind.

[Jackie James 215]

I went to high school with a girl who ended up living with Hefner in the mansion during the early 80's.

[fortunateone 156618]

Kim Cattrall

Mackenzie Philips at a wrap party (and the assorted local guest stars whose names escape me now lol).

Ocean Hellman (Danger bay) in step classes (3 kids, very FITTTT)

 

i think being in Vancouver, I"ve forgotten more than I remember, mostly TV types tho filming in the neighbourhood.

 

Not too many as clients, but a couple of singer/actor types.

Oddly, a couple of clients both who work on (non-acting) Supernatural (not sure if that is a sign)

Hey Nikki... I pinched Tom Green's butt when he was at the same bar where Ron Jeremy was doing his tour of his movie in the market. I think it was called China White? I have no idea what it's called now.

 

Why would he call his butt ?China White? and changing the name... (why would he even have a name for it)?
