Most memorable "sightings" trip was to LA two summers ago.
On the ATL-LAX outbound, sat next to the head of Tyler Perry Studios (really nice Cuban guy, name escapes me now). Across the aisle was Hubie Brown, and Chris Webber was a few rows behind him.
I chatted with C-Webb for a bit on the way to baggage claim -- super nice guy. The next night was Game 1 of the 2009 NBA Finals, Lakers-Magic.
Two days later, I was on the same Alaska Airlines LAX-SEA flight with Celtic great Bill Russell. Man, is that guy tall!!!

My Sightings!
In November, me and my mother saw Robert Redford in the LAX Sky Club. I personally didn't know who he was, my mom did, he was talking loudly on the phone, over heard him saying "This is Bob..." and "This is Bob Redford...". He was followed by three or four assistants. Not on a delta flight, but in Harrods in London, I literally ran into Johnathan Rhys Meyers (Tudors).

Orel Hershiser from SLC to BOS sat across from me in FC a little over a week ago on his way to Boston to do the Sunday Night, ESPN game of the week.
He was really nice - spent most of the flight researching the game on his iPad Dos.

MrsDD texted me from her flight today (DL 101 LAX-ATL) that Usher is on board with "little boys, nanny and bodyguard in tow". I guess if anyone in ATL wants a look you could find out what the arrival gate is...

(For those who are not aware, Justin Bieber was discovered, and is the protege of, Usher.)

Yup, he only just turned 17 in March (I looked it up), and last I checked, under 18 was still the legal definition of a boy, and not a man, in all 50 states. Not only that, he looks like an adolescent, or do you think that he looks like a masculine fully grown adult?

LOL, yes, point taken. He certainly is not the height of masculinity! (Not that it really matters, in less than one year he has made himself a millionaire, many times over.) I only just saw your little switch from "Justin," which I wrote, to "Justine," which you wrote.
