I've also had a chance to meet celebrities in other areas of my life in different cities. I'm not saying this represent status or anything. It's still fun to see people from TV :) These are some of the people I've gotten the chance to meet.
 |
| Gwyneth Paltrow I only saw her in passing. Very pretty. |
 |
| Amy Sedaris, Comedian I've run her up a couple times as a cashier. I thought she was really nice so I told her I was a fan. She seemed nice and said "thanks" but later I noticed she would act weird around me. Now she ignores me all together. She's kind of a weirdo in my opinion. Her brother is a famous author, one of whom I'm a big fan of. Most of his books are sort of auto-biographical so I hear things about Amy when she was a ltitle girl so when I see her, I see more than what people see on TV. I look at her and I think of the personal stories I heard about her in her brother's books. |
 |
| Anjelina Jolie Beautiful. Only saw her in passing. Had big sunglasses on. Tiny figure. |
 |
| Sandra Bernhardt She's ALWAYS in the store. I've had a couple of conversations with her. She's cool for the most part. It's cool cause sometimes when I would bag her groceries, industry people would come up to her and talk about other celebrities or what happened in LA last weekend at the last red carpet event. Once I saw her rage about in the store complaining how she spends thousand of dollars a year at the store. |
 |
| Blythe Danner Very pretty lady. Always comes in with no makeup and has a very natural graceful beauty. Always smiles and always converses with employees :) |
 |
| Cherry Jones I love this lady! She's so sweet:) She used to always ask me about my music while I would bag her groceries. She would talk about her new projects as well (last thing she said was that she was working on a pilot in LA and I haven't seen her since). I know her work from the movie, Signs. |
 |
| Chris Martin, from Coldplay Tall. Saw him in passing. |
 |
| Elvis Costello & Diana Krall Oh my God!!! First of all, Diana Krall is a seriously big influence! I love her style and her music. Me and my dad used to watch her Live Paris Show DVD. Anyway, I told her I love her music and she shook my hand. She asked what I do and I told her I was New York working on my music career (from behind the cash register lol). What an honor to do something as simple as hold a conversation with Elvist Costello & Diana Krall!!  She's as pretty in person as she is on screen. Very nice too :) I got the chance to talk to her a couple of times.  Maybe I'll explain the whole story with Uma in another blog, cuz explaining it now will take like 3 huge paragraphs. By the far the prettiest actress I've seen.  A legend in her own time........kind of a bitch.  I love this guy! Super nice, really friendly. Always asking for the vitamin guy.  He always comes in the early morning. Literally right as the store opens. I think cause his face is that recognizable. It stands out, you know it's him at first glance. Anyway he's super short. But it's all good. He's real cool. |
 |
| Mary Louise Parker I am a HUGE FAN of her work! I think her work kicks ass. She always shows up with her children and nanny/asst. I try to be nice to her but you can tell that she knows everyone knows who he is. Sometimes actors act weird because there's a weird energy saying "we both know who you are" and it makes them feel weird. |
 |
| Parker Posey Ok, this chick is.....interesting. She's cute an all but...yeah. The first time I met her her face was totally like "yeah, it's me, Parker Posey". Then she proceeded to tell me that she didn't need a bag. She said "so, like, yeah, I'm trying to save the world". The next time I saw her, she was talking about how she's sick and she's been working all week. She's cute, though. |
 |
| William Dafoe I met him on my first day of work. I was in training and didn't know what the hell I was doing. I took what felt like forever for me to bag his groceries but him and his girlfriend just stood there and waited. At the end he thanked me and said "don't let those machines get the best of ya". What a great guy. |
 |
| I actually met them in line at Starbucks in a hotel in Houston. I was doing a gig in one of the suites but I needed change so I went to starbucks. I stood behind them and I was thinking "man, this girl looks just like Barbie and this guy looks like a weird version of NIck Lachey". I didn't believe it til hey left and heard everyone talk about who just left. |
 |
| Vin Diesel Mmmmm. Even finer in person ;) He's a giver. He tipped both the juice bar people 50 bucks! |
 |
| Michael Richards He's a cool guy. He came in with his girlfriend, who is considerably younger. A very pretty brunette though. He's tall. |
