Celebrity Encounters

Through work, I have a great email relationship with an advertising production manager that lives in NYC. She is a Weather Channel junky, and always emails when we have severe weather in OKC. I over exaggerate our weather tales, like how we all had to rush to take cover in the bathroom from the tornado! But, leave out the fact that it is company policy and the tornado was over 20 miles away. I even sent her pictures of all the tree carnage from Ice Storm 2007.

But today, she had the story for me. She rode on the elevator with Brad Pitt! Her scoop: he is just "okay" in person. She said he was taller than she thought, but that he was very, very skinny. And again, just described his immaculate beauty as "just okay." This didn't settle well for someone who spent much of her adolescence ogling a Legends of the Fall poster that hung on her closet door. (Oh, Brad's long hair was wonderful.)
This was the poster!

And it reminded me of one of my celebrity encounters: riding on an elevator with Tommy Lee. Let me tell you, if you ever want a reason not to live a rock-and-roll lifestyle, it would be seeing Tommy Lee's face up close and personal. Not pretty! (Which I can't believe is the verdict of Brad Pitt, too)

Other celebrity run-ins include accidentally sitting next to Danny Glover in the OKC airport during a pregnancy hormone rush. I was having a mild heat stroke attack, while he was being bombarded by fans that wanted to kiss him. Can you believe Danny Glover flies Southwest? I also saw Chris O'Donnell while going through customs in Tokyo. Let me tell you, I would pick him over McDreamy any day. Meredith so made the wrong decision.

I also just encountered a breathtaking picture of John Krasinski in the store window of the Gap. It really made me want to buy Gap sweaters, especially if anyone from the cast of the Office came with them! It would sure help ease the pain of the writer's strike. I'm just saying...

Was it one of those "sweaters that looks like it was knit in the old days"? Maybe you can wear it underneath my new PEE COAT!

I had a poster of Brad Pitt from Legends of the Fall on my door back in the day. So did my sister and she was married! That's how much she loved Brad Pitt.
