I flew with Sandberg this morning

[NOLA]

Best thing about that story:

 

Bunch of other celebrities showed up: Jerry Seinfeld, Dan Akroyd, John Goodman, Claire Danes, Sinbad

 

Sinbad? Now it's a party!

[Derwood]

Saw a crap ton of celebrities during my TV job, but didn't really interact with many. Chatted briefly with Cameron Diaz, who really is not very attractive up close.

I was going to add an "LOL" after his name. What's even more telling is that he was in the audience at the show, in the row in front of us - but we were up in the bleachers - not on the floor or anywhere near the stage. I remember my buddy saying "Shouldn't he be back stage or something?"

I honestly think that's often the case. Spending some (professional) time in hair and makeup can do wonders for just about anybody. In my first year at University I lived on the same floor as a girl who was in the top 6 in the finals for Miss Canada - she certainly wasn't unattractive but there were 3 or 4 girls on the same floor I would say were better looking. She looked great on TV though. We also had a professional model (never became famous as far as I know - but she made some money) and to see her walking around campus - granted often in sweats - I never would have guessed she was a model. Since then I've always assumed that a great deal of the "glamour" of the famous was in the packaging.

 

An interesting aside - the Miss Canada candidate says that at some point in the competition they needed to declare if they actually wanted to win - if they didn't want to win (had to do with burden and responsibility of holding the title - basically you are a drone for a year) - the highest you could go was the round of 6 and then behind the scenes you would be taken out of the running.

You know who is even hotter in person than in pictures? Dita Von Teese. Wow. My gf is an acquaintance with her and I nervously shook her hand like a school boy. Sexy as hell.

[Old Style]

Drew Barrymore was so ugly up close that I almost didn't believe it was her. Shirley Manson from Garbage was actually much hotter in person, though.

She was in the Terminator tv series and was surprisingly fun to look at.

Is there a belief she's good looking in any setting?

She's really not all that attractive on screen, either. Another one like that (decent on screen, not at all in person) is Julia Roberts.

One show we had the cast of some movie I can't remember the title of, but it was a chick flick with Julia Roberts, Maggie Gyllenhaal and some other actresses. Those chicks are SOOOO skinny in person. It's gross

Back in her "crazy" days in the mid-90's.

People Magazine ranked her the #1 most beautiful woman in the world in 2007. I don't get it either.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is the stuff of nightmares. If you put a wig and dress on Jake he'd easily make the more attractive woman, and that isn't a compliment to him. He wouldn't even need to shave.

I've never thought she was all that hot, but have plenty of friends that do (or at least did at one point in time - and no, not in E.T.).

Oh yeah, totally forgot I met Hank Aaron last year. Helped shoot a promotional video that had him congratulating our city on our bi-centennial or something. He was nice, would not sign autographs (because he is under contract with a company), and pronounced birthday like "boithday".

My hate for Notre Dame is born from [expletive] kids I grew up with. If the kid was a bully, stuck up, or a status seeker he/she was an ND fan 9 times out of 10. By the time I was 10 I was full of loathing. A kid who played on my little league team was the son of somebody connected with ND and he brought Joe Montana to one of our games. This was after the national championship. I refused to get his autograph and I regret it. He seemed really nice and he stayed for the entire game and signed autographs for anyone after the game. I wonder how much it would be worth today.

 

I saw a bunch of TV and movie stars when I lived in NY. One time I accidentally walked into a shot of Law and Order and bumped into Jerry Orbauch, but those two are as close as I've ever came to meeting someone famous.

She hasn't been attractive since the Mask.

[SouthSideRyan]

I remembered loving her in A Life Less Ordinary, but I was 12 at the time so most things with breasts would do.

[Derwood]

She kinda has crazy eyes.

 

Speaking of that TV job, Oprah has the largest head I've ever seen. Scientists in 1000 years will study her remains trying to figure out who this mutant was

How did you take this out of my fingers before I could type it?

That was Drew, not Diaz.

Weren't we talking about Drew just a minute ago? I don't remember a life less ordinary so I missed the move back to Diaz.

 

Diaz has never been attractive to me. Drew was pretty cute/ spunky when I was in college.

Never seen any "celebrity" in an airport before. Saw Jordy Nelson outside my gate at MSP today.

I once went through airport security ahead of Ned Yost. The Brewers had just been swept by the Cardinals and the TSA guy had the balls to mention it to him. I said all loud, the cardinals are the luckiest bastards in baseball. Later on, Yost came up to me and told me I was right. He then went and sat down with a magazine about boat ownership.
