TIFF is a great place to celebrity watch. The festival seems a lot less celebrity-obsessed than American festivals, and actors and directors are much more accessible.PhantomMinuethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569580986314165225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327353.post-59483331365499889852008-05-16T11:45:00.000-04:002008-05-16T11:45:00.000-04:00Well, there's Kim Perrot of the Houston Comets (WN...Well, there's Kim Perrot of the Houston Comets (WNBA). I saw her at the mall.<BR/>There there's Frank Bielec of Trading Spaces. I saw him at Ciro's a popular Italian spot here in Houston.<BR/><BR/>I've met and worked with several news anchors that would only be famous locally.<BR/><BR/>and to Sanna, I LOVE the Furniture Guys, I used to watch that show religiously and hate that I can't find it anymore.

I personally, have never run across anyone of that calibur; however, my sister met and took pics with Rick Springfield. She ran into Alan Autry of "In the Heat of the Night" fame at Gold's Gym. Of course, he's the mayor of our fair city now so you can see him at the movie theater any given Saturday afternoon.<BR/>Sandra just came back from London and sat next to Bruce Boxlietner all the way home. He's married to Laura Ingalls, you know.<BR/><BR/>RobbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327353.post-61765270971159139822008-05-14T11:16:00.000-04:002008-05-14T11:16:00.000-04:00I spent my career in the hospitality industry so y...I spent my career in the hospitality industry so you see a ton of celebrities going through hotels. My closest brush with celebrity though was having lunch with Bob Dole. I'd won an award and that was supposedly one of the perks, we sat and chatted for about an hour, but no, no talk of viagra, although you know I wanted to mention it the whole time. I'm classy that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327353.post-57027139171593369502008-05-14T08:15:00.000-04:002008-05-14T08:15:00.000-04:00Yay!

It was almost surreal because I wasn't expecting to see anyone famous, so at first I thought it was some random guy who looked like Jerry . When I pointed this out to my friend, she said, very loudly, "Uh, that IS Jerry Seinfeld!" At which point, he hurried across the street and our horse-drawn carriage continued on it's way.<BR/><BR/>I've met a few country singers back in the day, but that was planned, not a chance encounter (which I find much more exciting).Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04132594195395924087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327353.post-82512561701656585912008-05-13T21:46:00.001-04:002008-05-13T21:46:00.001-04:00Oh, also I am John Mellencamp's second cousin.Does...Oh, also I am John Mellencamp's second cousin.<BR/><BR/>Does that count?Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768950331026887423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14327353.post-45183155523692566272008-05-13T21:46:00.000-04:002008-05-13T21:46:00.000-04:00Met: Peter Mayer, today.
