In about 1968, I watched Elvis as he waited for his plane to be ready. He was in a private parking area and I was on an observation deck just above him. He had five women with him and kissed them all good-bye. I was embarrassed for the girls because they were all trying so hard with their kisses.
Then right before he got on the plane, he looked up and blew me a kiss.
BTW, previously unpublished photographs of Norma Jean Baker are sought after by publishers, biographers, etc.
Neil Young hit on my mom.
Last year I saw Jack Nicholson at a classic car auction. I’m hoping I’ll get a chance to meet Alice Cooper there this year.
I peed next to Robert DeNiro.
P.S. We BOTH washed before I shook his hand.
I’d have shaken his hand UN-washed if I had to, but it’s nice to know he’s a sanitary guy. 
At a new year’s party in Miami about 10 years ago, I was talking to Roberto Duran the boxer (famous for quittting during his second bout against Sugar Ray Leonard with the famous “no mas”), who was busily explaining to all how he quit because Leonard kept moving so he could not hit him.
In the middle of the story a waiter came by with a tray of drinks and Duran says, wait for it, “No mas”. If it wasn’t because he could’ve killed me with one punch I would’ve burst out laughing.
Frank Stallone, back before even his brother had any hint of fame, hit on my mom. Sortof. He asked one of his buddies to ask her out for him. She declined because he didn’t ask her himself.
Dell Curry, who then played on the Charlotte Hornets, was an assistant coach for my brother’s t-ball team (his son was on the team).
That same year (or the year before), I bumped into Larry Johnson (another former Hornet) while exiting the local supermarket.
There are some pics flying around the net today of
Jennifer Lopez eating her boogies!
You’ll notice that in the first 3 frames, it appears to be snowing. In the last two frames, the snow’s stopped. Did Jenny from the Block eat the snow, too? Or is this a photog with a little too much creativity?
Either way, it’s a must share.

Yeah, if my 401k keeps heading down, they will be my retirement plan. I have about 20 or so.
I don’t know if these really qualify for having seen famous people do things but here are my brushes with fame.
Several years ago my girlfriends and I had a room on the top floor of the Hyatt in Milwaukee during Summerfest. It was late at night and we were hanging out on our “balcony” overlooking the atrium, smoking and drinking and watching what few people were still about at that hour. John Mellencamp got off the elevator on our floor and walked by us to his suite (with supermodel and small entourage in tow.) Our ashtray was in his path and he said “There’s an ashtray in my way” and he kicked it out of his way. The next week I told my mom about it and she told me her cousin’s daughter is married to one of his guitar players.
Another time we stayed there we were in the bar having a hilarious conversation with some drunken salesmen when members of Metallica butted in on our conversation to tell us they were members of Metallica. We ignored them and continued our conversation with the salesmen.
One year at the Hilton we got on the elevator with a hotel security guy and a guy with one of those metal suitcases. We didn’t recognized him and already had a decent buzz going so I asked him (since RHCP and Foo Fighters were at Summerfest that night) if he was a Chili Pepper or a Foo Fighter. All I got was a dirty look, but later that night we saw him in the bar with George Thorogood and others having some food so I guess he was a Destroyer.
Many, many years ago we pretty much stalked Dan Fogelberg and band at Alpine Valley. After we determined which room was theirs we tried everything we could think of to get invited into their room to party with them, including trying to convince a 50ish newlywed couple that the band’s room was theirs. Finally we just knocked on the door and asked if we could come in and they let us.
