Famous People I have Met

Robin Williams
Always on. Just what you’d expect

Jim Carrey
His face is kind of rubbery, but he can be calm, too

Bradley Whitford*
So cute. So nice. So funny. So my pretend boyfriend

Jane Kaczmarek
Like her husband, very real and down to earth. They're from Wisconsin

Shannon Doherty*
I’m pretty sure she was high

Courtney Cox
Even skinnier in real life than on TV if you can believe that

Tiger Woods
Kind of a jerk, actually

Michael Eisner
Taller than I expected

Terry Semel
Big ego. He expects you to know who he is

Cindy Crawford*
Rather quiet

Tina Turner*
Awesome. Heroic. Powerful. Kind. Generous.

Juan Montoya*
Very cute. Short. A bit conceited

Richard Petty
Good ole boy

Keith Urban*
Really cute. Very kind and generous heart.

Faith Hill*
Sweet. Just...sweet.

Tim McGraw
Another good ole boy

Travis Tritt
Surprisingly smart. I bet he has a genius IQ

Sarah Jessica Parker*
Not so pretty in person. Tiny though

Nolan Ryan*
Another good ole boy

Tara Lipinski*
Kinda like being in the presence of whipped cream

Peyton Manning

Good ole Louisiana boy. Really tall. Reminded me of my uncles.

Archie Manning
So cute! LOVE!

Mike Ditka*
I had no idea how gigantic this man is. Like freak-of-nature big

David Blaine

Was he stoned or is that just his persona? I couldn’t really tell

Amber Valetta*
So. Freaking. Skinny. You can like see her internal organs poking out

Gisele Bundchen

Skinny but also angelicly beautiful. Almost frighteningly so

Joe Montana*
I was too busy swooning over meeting my high school hero. Still so cute even at his age.

Ricky Williams
Unbelievably shy. He has a serious anxiety disorder and can’t stand crowds

The Dixie Chicks
They were kinda nerdy back in the day

Tom Shadyac*
Got to be one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors, even if you're not a fan of his movies. Cute and funny and super nice. Not to mention rich and successful.

Deidre Hall
She kind of acts like she’s on camera all the time

Scott Hamilton*
Really nice and generous to a fault. Wants to help people all the time.

Hank Stram
He was really old when I met him so I can’t say much about his personality

Anne Richards
I was so freaking excited to meet her. I walked right up, introduced myself and told her I voted for her for Governor when I lived in Texas. She was one of my personal idols.

Bill Clinton*
So handsome and sexy. Much shorter than I expected. Not a very big guy at all.

Trent Lott
Pfft. I was a kid. He was my Congressman.

Marlo Thomas*
Very devoted to St. Jude, the kids there, and the hospital’s success. We talked politics mostly

Phil Donahue*
Nice guy. Doesn’t say much in Marlo’s presence. Lets her have the spotlight.

Jack Hanna*
He never stops with the animal facts. Which I found interesting, so it was okay.

Jerry West
We just call him “The Logo.” Way tall. He always seemed to be in a hurry. I guess that’s how it is with important people

Judge Joe Brown
A very smart man, but OMG he will talk your ear off

Harry Connick Jr.*
Love, love, love him. Every great thing you can possibly think about him is absolutely true.

Jen Lancaster
One of my favorite authors - definitely my favorite blogger-turned-author - is even prettier IRL than she is on the internet. Very friendly and inclusive and just-one-of-us-like. Which is refreshing.

* - somewhere I've got a photo w/ this person. I'll see if I can try to find it.
