Tell us about your brush with fame.

Surely many of you have met some one famous, know a local celebrity or have had a piece of fame for your own self. Well, now's your chance to brag about it so, what are you waiting for? I'll start with a BAD (really bad) example: I share a birthday with OJ Simpson. Some one stab me please

I'm from Liverpool and i've met Steven Gerrard and Derek Acorah. When in Blackpool going to meet Derek Acorah, I bumped into Jeremy Beadle when he was walking about (he was turning on the Blackpool lights that night)

I know several local radio talk show hosts and a local radio DJ/comedian. And I've met quite a few more. I also sat in on the final radio show (along with my Dad) for Denny, a guy who goes by "The Rock-a-billy Rebel", drinking "Rebel Lagers" (Budweiser). He's since gotten a new show on the same station in Tampa (88.5 FM, WMNF) I also knew a TV show host for while. No, make that three TV show hosts: Dick Bennick Sr., performing under the name "Dr. Paul Bearer" (now deceased), hosted "Creature Feature". I knew him through a magic club I was in. Haywood Henson (does a country music show). Kind of a dork. I've done repairs for him, I've sold him stuff, and I've played a gig or two with him. I also sat backstage whilst a friend of mine was on his TV show once. There's another TV music show host that I've met and done a few things with but I can't even think of the guy's name now. Anyway, he was a total dweeb. He only had his lame show because his daddy owned the station. What's that moron's name? Mike something... Mike Puchelli (sp?), that's it. He had "The Mike Puchelli Show" on V32. What a waste of "fame" that was. Oh, I've also done repairs for some big-time musicians who've come to the local concert venue but, since I never got to meet any of them (only "their people"), I won't even try to recall the names.

My sister used to do Anthony Bonsante's (from The Contender) hair. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Bonsante) I saw Vince Neil at a Las Vegas airport. Mark Kunerth, a former writer for the TV show Friends, and a current writer for The Bill Engvall Show, is from my town. When I was little I got Austin St. John's autograph. Most people will know him better as Jason, the Red Ranger, from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers! That's all I can think of now...
