Beckles-
What a great topic. I have met/seen many celebrities at fundraisers and others walking the streets of Manhattan, however, I will only list those celebrities that I bumped into or saw in an airplane or airport.
Rick Morranis YYZ-LGA. Wow was he upset with me for coming over to him. He was actually flying coach (bulkhead) maybe that's why he was in such a bad mood.
Rick Springfield LAS-LAX. Didn't know who he was until the FT came over and said how she is such a big fan.
Ricky Lake walking through LAX. Her asssitant cut me off at the x-ray machines as she was running late to pick her up.
Fabio LGA-YYZ. He was very nice. He waited to take a picture with me and my sister.
John Stamos and his GORGEOUS wife Rebecca. JFK-LAX. There were sitting in the first row of coach far righthand side of the plane, were the last people to board. He was very nice. Unfortunately his wife was sick and slept most of the flight. But got my picture with him.
Cate Blanchet LAX-SFO. Sitting accross from me up front. I went over to her with my camera in hand after the flight because I thought she was Robin Wright, Sean Penns wife and she said sorry I am not Robin Wright. The woman sitting next to her walked by 30 seconds later and informed me it was Kate Blanchet. Ahhhh.
Typically I have noticed that celebrities for the most part board last, 5-10 minutes before the schedualed departure.

I'm in the CRC here in New Orleans waiting for a flight to CVG and the guy two cubes down from me just made a call, and I swear I'm not eavesdropping, but he says "Hi, this is Johnny Cochran", so I wait until he gets up from the phone, and sure enough, it's THE Johnny Cochran of OJ trial fame.
So, if anyone has any burning questions you want to ask him, e-mail me quick before his flight leaves!
This brings me to my next question, anyone else have any notable or interesting celebrity sightings in their travels?
The only other one I've ever had was at the CRC at DCA where I saw Colin Powell, but that's about it for me.
I'm sure at least some of us must have run into celebrities in FC before ...</font>
