What is the closest you've been to your favorite celebrity? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

How close have you been to your favorite celebrity? Have you met them, seen them in public, seen a live performance, or just seen them on TV?

Martina McBride is one of my all-time favorite celebrities, and the closest I've been to her was front row at a concert. At one point, I jumped out of my seat and handed her a card and a rose. She actually took something out of my hand! She also said thank you into the microphone. All I could do was just look at her. It was SO MAGICAL!!

Does anyone else have any stories?

If we're talking my favorite celebrity, about 5 hours away because John Ritter's been in NYC before and that's how far away I live from it.

Other celebrities I've been pretty close to are Jim Belushi who I saw at the State fair performing, and he was like 20 feet away, so that was pretty cool. And, uh,

Britney Spears at a concert (keep in mind I was NINE and stupid). That's pretty much it.

Great Topic!

I was at the Mariah concert in Dallas Texas in August. It was so awesome. I wish I could have been closer but It was really cool.

You already know my story, but I'm going to tell mine anyway.

A good number of the people here know I adore Vicki Lawrence. She's currently doing a comedy tour, "The Two Woman Show", starring herself and Mama. In May of this year, her tour stopped in the town I lived in at the time (I just recently moved back to my hometown for good, last month) to do two shows. I could only make it to one of her shows, which was on the first night. I had front-row seats, and it was really close to the stage!

The venue she performed at had a backstage door/stairs next to the stage, and when she came out as Mama for the second half of her show, she walked RIGHT past me- I could have easily touched her from where I was sitting. Her skirt brushed past me!

And, then.....I GOT TO MEET HER after her show....I touched her and she touched me!

Sigh...she was sooooooooo nice, very laid back and totally down to earth! I love her!

To say you've been to a Mariah concert is VERY impressive! I really wish I could have gone. Oh well, maybe someday!

But it's such a great story!

Did I ever tell you that when she came out as Mama, she walked passed me and touched my shoulder? It was awesome, but it freaked me out because it was so unexpected!

thx..

It's like while I was there I was in total bliss and kind of like shock that I was there. I didn't want to blink my eyes cause I was afraid to miss one moment. It was a dream come true really.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, too cool!!!!!!!!

I got the better end of the deal - I touched her shirt (to touch her) and it was sooooooo soft...She had on a chenille shirt, or however you spell it...

I REALLY hope my mom gets front row tickets for us both for when I go see her in January!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that two hours before her first show, she was on the local evening news, and I taped it! She was SO pretty on it- her hair was all messed up and stuff and she was just so cute.

Same with me...All I did was gawk at Vicki and Mama....I couldn't believe it was for real..I was seeing them with my own two eyes.

Chevy Chase was on the TV once.
and I was watching

BUT, his movie "Snow Day" (which sucked), was set in my hometown (Syracuse, NY), and the kids (supposedly) went to my highschool. (the letters were HHS, "Henninger High School")

I was there at the Jim Belushi concert!!
I didnt get his autograph though.

Did you see him this past summer?

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 10-11-2003, 08:35 PM

I was about 6-8 feet away from Isaac and Taylor Hanson. They were sticking there heads out of the bus window when they were leaving from an outdoor concert they did. All the fans were following them and they were throwing water balloons out the window. I don't know where Zac was- maybe on the other side of the bus. I was a lot farther away from them during the actually concerts. But that's the closest I've been to them. I'm hoping I'll be able to be much closer to them some day, as in personally meet them!
