Television makes people appear larger than life, especially decades ago, when that was the only window we had to the world outside of our own lives. But in real life, his entire arm is about the length of my forearm. I may not pack much of a punch, but he'd have a hard time reaching me with his formerly furious flurries..
Funny, that's what Tommy Hearns said too.

I saw Bruce Vilanch on a DTW-BOS flight a couple of months ago.

My son reported Chris Pine in the BOS SC on 11/25 (on his way to LAX).

He was pretty cool about it, didn't bother me or try to take a picture with me or anything.
I would have had a complete meltdown. Andy Cohen is my absolute celebrity crush.

Your like the 3 or 4th poster who has mentioned seeing Stevie. As much as he seems to fly Delta, I'm surprised he hasn't done one of the safety video's. Would be pretty funny if he was the pilot.

Saw Tony Hawk at gate. There was one open seat in fc... next to me. Thought it was his. He boarded with general boarding and sat in coach.

Nancy Grace was on my DL 2247 THR 04 DEC 2014 NYC-LGA to ATL flight. I ducked into the men's room in concourse A following the flight, and when I came out I saw her waiting nearby.

I looked at her and said, "Are you who I think you are". She said, "Hey! Yes I am! Want a photo?"

Got a good iPhone photo with her that she was very polite to offer - ended up having her husband, David, take the photo. Told her I was going to my best Jodi Arias impression in the photo, nailed it!

So I'm guessing her broom was in the shop

He blacked out the wrong face. I generally change the channel when I see her face come on...

Pretty sure I'm sitting across from Gary Hart in ATL A17. Talked about going to Denver for a fund raiser tonight. Has been on his phone nonstop now for 45 minutes.
