Celebrity Sightings

[icarus]

- Rod Stewart at a cafe in Cape Town a month or so ago.
- Bruce Springsteen leaving his hotel in Stockholm last summer.
- Various tennis celebrities (John McEnroe, Lindsay Davenport, etc.) at Wimbledon last year which, in itself, is not very unexpected however Amelie Mauresmo walked into me as she left a practice court.

Various other minor/local/hockey celebrities which probably aren't too impressive.

Chris Rock eating at a cafe in L.A.

Had dinner with Ed Whalen (a work thing) - fantastic guy.

Met Hunter (something)- he was on one of the Survivors. Acted like an A-List movie star. I had to interview him.

Met many high profile politicians with the most interesting and thoughtful being current Liberal Party leader, Bill Graham.

Tons of hockey players... the two nicest being Jarome Iginla and Pavel Bure.

The Farmer's Daughters (music group)... maybe that doesn't count. I didn't know who they were until someone told me. When I was a room service guy a long time ago, I served them. - the tip was average.

Mark Henry from the WWE..*yawn*

Tonnes of NHL players in late 90s, the nicest being Jarome Iginla, Theo Fleury, Fred Brathwaite and Dave Reid!

Got to hang out with my boy Bruny Surin back in 2001

When I was in grade 3, I got to meet Maurice Richard outside one of those oldtimers games, and got to practise my french speaking to him. That was pretty huge.

Jean Chretien and his Wife at Lester B. Pearson before that '93 election. Again probably grade 3.

My Dad and I were spared meeting Rob Schneider outside the premiere of the European Gigolo in Sydney AUS last year. We saw him coming and went the other way.

Saw Bret Hart on the Red Mile duiring the 04 run. I kinda just pointed at him as he was just strollin down the street. He nodded back.

Met Robyn Regehr and his family (his dad was real cool) at Joey Tomato's after Game 4 vs. Tampa... my bud asked Robyn if Sutter gave Nemo a beating after running Lecavalier at the end of the game... but myself and Robyn's dad just couldn't believe the 5-on-3 that led to the only goal of the game. Freakin Richards and a boring ass game the rest of the way.

Mike Commodore and the boys at the airport hours after game 7 vs. Tampa

Nope, if my dad was gay he'd be more bold about it than you. He'd come right out and call himself Biggaydad instead of just implying it with a username based on one of the more effeminate...sorry..."metrosexual" drinks available in trendy coffeeshops.

[Incogneto]

Followed Nick Faldo for 3 holes at St. Andrews last summer before, a week before the British open...

Also the 'Bubba Gump' walking in London. Said hi to him, and he waved back with his starbucks coffee.

I know alot of wrestling fans that would even agree with you on that. They think he's one of the most boring wrestlers the WWE has and wont miss the eight months or so he'll be out with an injury and hope his contract doesnt get renewed when it runs out. I cant say I disagree with them. He really has nothing besides the fact he's big.
