This is the thread to use for posting your sightings of celebrities/notable/newsworthy public figures while travelling. Here are a few ground rules:
Here are links to older threads:

- The sighting must occur either on a United flight (or related regional/express carriers) or at a UA terminal.
- Comments about individuals sighted by others should be kept to a minumim to keep the thread reasonably easy to follow during the year.

Ron Perlman in the United Club evening of Nov. 13. I got the "nod of acknowledgement" but left him alone. Seemed to be having a polite/pleasant conversation with an unrelated woman who happened to be seated next to him. Had a small dog with him that he was leading around the lounge on a 6-8 foot leash until one of the dragons informed him that the dog had to stay in the kennel-case. He said he would, dragon left, but kept the dog out of the case albeit pulled the dog to not be more than a couple feet from his seat from then on, so maybe there was a compromise.
One little girl in the club was very enthused about the dog which led to the taking of pictures... of the girl with Ron Perlman's dog, heh. Guess the children don't get to see much Sons of Anarchy.

Nicki Minaj and 2 others in her entourage on 233 LAX-JFK in Business on 12/15.
Right before take off I was wondering how there were still 3 seats empty across from me at t-5 and no one was moved up from economy. Then when I saw it was her boarding it all made sense.

Ozzy Osborne on the moving walkway in the tunnel in ORD between B & C concourses. Pointed out to me by an elevator repairman who was stalking him, essentially.
