dzervit got his picture taken with The Rock.



Me? Celebs are boring, and only worth watching on the big screen.

Bo Jackson, after a Royals game in Tippins eating some pie with his family here in KC.

That's all I've got, Kansas isn't exactly a hot spot for celebrities.

I want to meet Tom Cruise one day so I can slap the idiot out of him, and to let him know that Mission Impossible 3 sucked my left ball sack.

And I still think I could take that little guy. My most recent pic is better - Cindy Crawford. What a sweet kid she is.

I used to live in Lake Travis, Texas where Sandra Bullock has a house on the lake.

I was working in Home Depot during the summer in college and coming back from a break, when the cabinet and kitchen manager asked me to come help him out with a customer. Well I walk back there and low and behold it's Sandra Bullock.

She was picking out cabinets for the new guest house's kitchen. I was amazed that she'd actually come into the store to do something like that. She was EXTREMELY nice and humble, acting like she was nobody in particular, just another customer at the Home Depot.

She also only had eye liner on for make up and let me tell you fellas, she is BEAUTIFUL!


The only other celebrity is Dierks Bentley. Three years back when he was still up and coming, he played at the Medina Entertainment center in MN. I stood in line to get a CD and then have it signed. Turns out I was last in line and we talked for a bit, mostly complaining about the cold as I had just moved to MN and it was -10 in February.

He asked if I wanted to hang out and have some beers with the bad. He's a really cool and humble guy. Not to mention that girl that used to play with him (blonde), had ENOURMOUS .....ummm....brains.

I believe the last one was the center fielder for the Minnesota Twins, Tory Hunter. I met him at the bar in the Cheese Cake Factory while waiting on a table for dinner. He was another really cool guy. I had no idea who he was at first either. We were watching the tv which covered the game that happened earlier in the day (they got crushed) and I said, "They're doing great this year, but today just wasn't there day." he responded, "Yeah I know", then I said, "but that guy Hunter is doing a great job leading the team". He responded "Thanks". I looked over to him a little puzzled and he was smiling. That's when I noticed a really nice watch and then looked back at the TV which currently showed a picture of his face. Sure enough, it was the exact same guy. I couldn't believe it. We both got a laugh out of that. Then about 10 girls lined up to get a picture with him.


EDIT:

Oh the less memorable ones were Tony Stewart. I also met him at the Lake Travis Home Depot when I worked there in college. He was a conceeded little ***** and if I wouldn't have been sued and fired for punching him in the face, I would have taken out all his teeth. He signed some autographs by the stock car in the parking lot and then said he was tired and needed a break (this was after 10 minutes). So then he turns to me and says, can you gather up some of those girls that were with you earlier (hot college and high school chicks I was working with), and bring them into my trailer? He was serious too, which was even more offensive. I told him they were only 18 and he said "so"? Then I told him, he looked like he was 40 and should probably find someone his own age.

Then I was at the bar in downtown Minneapolis two years ago and met the guy who used to be married to Jessica Simpson. I can't seem to remember his name anymore though. He and his brother were there and acted like a few little punks but they were pretty annoyed with the girls surrounding them. He was on the phone arguing with Jessica and his brother was just sitting there staring off into the crowd. Both were wearing wife beaters and workout shorts at a nice bar which I thought was really tacky.

Forgot to mention in my first post, but David Kirkus (wide receiver for the Denver Broncos, formely with the Detroit Lions) is my brother in law's cousin. I've hung with him a few times.

I'll bet Sandra Bullock is a real hottie in real life (earlier post), too bad she can't act.

Played pony league baseball against Bob Lilly's son, he came to the games and signed these little-bitty footballs for anyone who wanted one.

And I was Sandra Bullock's Fedex guy for a year or so. She's very nice, very very pretty, and just a regular woman. Bitched about the house that her builder ruined. "Oh, great! More bull**** from the lawyers!"... LOL

This was all before she married Jesse James, I've never met him tho I've seen him riding around Westlake on a couple of different bad-*** bikes.

And might as well throw in that I've met Tobe Hooper (director of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Gunnar Hansen (Leatherface)..

I've met Jim Belushi's son... John Belushi's nephew. My brother has done some improv comedy with the son and I met him one weekend when I was up there in Chicago watching the show and got to shake his hand.

Truck stops are great. I ran into BB King in Atlanta signing autographs in the trucker store of the 76. He was blocking the aisles; so, I asked them to please excuse me. His tour bus was getting fuel.


I was in a small truckstop in Ohio eating in the restaurant. Marie Osmond was sitting in a booth facing my table. (She was hot as hell back then.) Well, every time I looked up from my plate, she was looking right at me, so I smiled at her. She smiled back. I was feeling pretty good about myself, when one of the gentlemen eating with her turned around and told me to "quit staring at Miss Osmond" and to wipe my chin.

The company I was with had a booth at a convention. The booth on one side of us had Pam Anderson and the booth on the other side had Nate Newton of the Dallas Cowboys.
