7/18 FLL to ORD
I was in F and before boarding they asked me if I would switch to aisle seat. I said ok. Scottie Pippen sat next to me in the window seat. He slept for the flight and when we landed I got a selfie with him and he was pretty chatty with me for a few mins.
First celeb sighting for me on AA in a while. I had a few last year on Delta.

Joan Rivers in LAX FL now. She is really nice, amiable chat with AA rep escorting her. She must be the regular. And you know what, she looks great.

Talent Rollcall 180 LAX JFK 7/24 - Joan Rivers and one of the Wayman brothers in 1A and 5B, Joshua Jackson (Sawsons Creek, others) in J along with one of they Wayman's actor friends whose name I can't place. All pretty nice. So far.
Edit - While Ms. Rivers was clearly the queen of the plane, it appears she is a regular rider on the route and knew the F attendants by name. She treated them like old friends, sharing a little gossip, etc. particularly the CK or celeb service at both ends. Before seeing her in person I've always perceived her as a cartoon character in real life, but I have to say that opinion has changed, and she appears to be a very nice person.

He was in the Concorde Room at LHR a couple years ago and sat down across from us. My wife was going crazy.

Just left the main AC at ORD. Patton Oswalt was in the quiet area on one of the sleeping chairs.

Saw Jon Hamm from Mad Men and his girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt in the Admirals Club at LGA this past weekend. They were then both escorted to their flight to St. Louis

Does Doug Parker count as an AA Celebrity? Was in First with me yesterday on the 2:15 flight from BNA to DFW. Which also happened to delay for MX for a little over an hour. Hope Doug didn't miss any important meetings as a result.
