John Walsh from America's Most Wanted was in 4B on MCO-LAX last night. He was reading Guns and Ammo (not joking)......

Rapper T.I. (or someone who looked a heck of a lot like him) was in F on my LAX -> ATL flight on 5/31. He was accompanied by a large bodyguard and there were also two "handlers" who escorted him to the gate where he boarded before pre-boarders and they left once T.I. and his bodyguard were walking down the jet bridge.

Queen Latifah on last night's last JFK-LAX. She was sitting in 3B, and I was a couple rows behind--it was amusing watching people's reactions as they walked by as they recognized her. Saw her in the Skyclub before as well and she seemed very friendly, chatting with a few people and posing for a picture.

Coach Lou Holtz last night on MCO-ATL - after our brakes caught fire on landing (and we subsequently sat out by the fire station for 30 minutes) he must have missed his connection because I saw him get in line at the service station by A18 waiting for an agent.

Dog the Bounty Hunter and Beth in BNA SC. Exceptionally nice people! Dog walked up to me and shook my hand, having apologized for making noise/disturbing - of which, they made no noise or disturbed me at any point, so no actual reason. Just respect. Awesome to meet them, if only briefly!

Bill Cosby a few months ago on late night flight from LAS-ATL. He had just finished a show. The Cos was allowed to board before everyone else. Some people applauded as he walked down the jetway. He acknowledged them. He sat across the aisle from me in F and was asleep/pretending to sleep from the moment everyone boarded. On the way off the plane he was polite, but no one seemed to want to bother him.

A couple weeks before that I sat across the aisle in F from Luke Wilson from SRQ-ATL. An older drunk woman sat next to him and would not leave the poor guy alone.

Strange to see/meet a Cincinnati Bengals player outside of prison.

Rudy Giuliani in the JFK T2 SC today and also in 2A in front of my 3B seat on JFK-BOS this afternoon. Talked a lot about golf with an associate, otherwise kept to himself.

I saw Christoph Waltz in business elite on the 777-200LR from LAX-ATL this morning. I was coming home from Perth (unfortunately in economy for all of my legs) so I was somewhat tired and it did take me a while to recognize him. Once I did recognize him my side of the aisle was already moving and I didnt get to stop and say hello or anything. And I was also seated on the 2nd to last row so I didn't get the chance to see him during deplaning either. Was pretty interesting to see him though, he is a great actor.

Harry Dean Stanton was on the CVG-LAX flight Monday afternoon, a couple seats behind me in business. One of my absolute favorite actors, and he was gracious when I told him so deplaning.
