When I was younger, my best friends mom was childhood best friends with Kyle Petty so we go to hang out several times. (I actually went to a fair with them and got to ride the Spin the Apple with him then eat dinner later with him).

Country singer Billy Currington went to my church before he got famous. He still comes back every once in a while.

My mom danced with Eddie Murphy at a club in the Bahammas.

At the same hotel in the Bahamas I saw Muggsy Bogues, Reggie White, Michael Jackson, and some other basketball player whos name i cant remember.

Ive also met Rusty Wallace (my favorite nascar driver).

O and ive seen Sandra Bullock walking down the street. She has a house in Savannah.

Ha beat this!

I Live near James Brown, The refrigerator Petty, and where the Alman Bros. stared out, James Brown is in Beech Island SC, The refirgerator Petty is in Clearwater, I think, SC, and the Alman Bros started in Augusta GA

I also went to the same high school where 3, yes 3, NFL players have gone

Charles Chavous, Troy williamson, and the lesser know I cannot remember

anyway google Silver Bluff High in Aiken, SC and You may even see a pic of me, not in the athletic section the band or acdemics area

HA!

There was also a rumor that Madonna Had a house In Aiken But I never really got that proven

And do you want to know where hootie and the blowfish disappeared to!, that is Right Fort Gordon Augusta GA! (nobody really cares though, Hootie said that he would never play in the Columbia Dome beacuse of the Confederate flag being flown above the SC Building and the SC Dome people Said, so what we really don't want you here, PWND!)

Also I forgot that I had Samual Lilly as a computer science teacher in High School, He was a NFL player, not really that big of a star
I refuse to dignify myself with an intelligent and witty signature

Well, I met Nicholas Cage while he was married to Lisa Marie Presley at Elvis Presley's club in Memphis during Elvis week. He is actually really cool guy. (Didn't get to talk to Lisa much though) Worked with Kendrick Johnson, former NFL player played in superbowl (don't ask which team or what year I never really cared) I worked with him at a potato chip factory in Jonesboro AR. My uncle used to jam with Elvis and work security for him. Met Bill Clinton too many times (I used to campaign for him) Met Ron Jeremy and had a nice long talk with him, really funny guy. Dolly Parton sang a song to me when I was a little kid at a concert. Rode the bus with Doug and Ricky Phelps of "Brother Phelps" country singers (don't let them lie to you they did not grow up in Missouri. My mom drove their school bus in Monette AR) Thats about it.

oh and my high school english teacher is John Grisham's cousin

A few years ago, I saw GWB somewhere. Don't remember where, but my parents pointed him out.

Please don't hurt me.

Oh yeah, how could I forget Kid Rock?!?!? He's at a local restauraunt/bar called Bullfrog's all the time; he also lives 2 houses down from one of my good friends! I guess since I see him all over the place, I don't really view him as a "celebrity".
