So I was at an event last night where a famous celebrity was doing a meet and greet.  I even used the pimphand and got through the line so one of my interns, who was enamoured with him, could get a picture. As I was leaving, he nodded at me and I said, "Thanks, Mr. Williams."Which would have been great, except it was Jason KIDD.

Here's an easy tip for remembering the difference in the future:Hot wife, big headed kid = Jason KiddHolding shotgun, wearing blood splattered shirt = Jayson Williams

Way back in the day on an AM station in NJ I worked at I interviewed Engelbert Humperdink, who was appaearing at the then Garden State Arts Center. I mentioned how amazing it must have been to be a part of 'The Last Waltz' concerts/movie, and as the words were coming out, I realized to myself, 'You fucking idiot, that was Neil Diamond, not Mr. Humper-fucking-dink' and then rambled on incoherently, flop sweat and all...These are the big time interviews you do at the bottom feeder level of radio.

A few weeks ago my wife and I walked by Matthew Perry on our way to see Spamalot.  She turned and said to him, "Hey, it's Luke Perry!"

He realised long ago, what just occurred to me. If you can't live well, then die fantastically.

Celebrities really enjoy when that happens.  It keeps them humble and they like that.

when i went to the Hard Rock the first time Ron and Fez took a visit back after moving to DC i stared Rod Stewart in the face for about 3 to 5 seconds as he stared back at me and i never said hello or anything...he looked old and i couldn't think quick enough to realize ' he is older ' probably about 60 now and it's just not how i pictured he would look. i feel a little bad about it because i think he may have known what i was thinking. it looked like he was waiting for me to say hellofunny thing is i was in the myrtle beach airport and turned and immediately recognized and acknowledged Iggy Pop... then again he's always looked kind've old

Fuck celebrities.  They're just people like you and me.  Different talents, but people.  I don't understand why people get starstruck.  I don't wish to emulate any of these asshats.
