Former Senator Norm Coleman and his wife in EWR Skyclub and on the 11:30 EWR-MSP flight on 7/11/10. I wanted to tell him I voted for him 4 times (Mayor of St. Paul, Governor of MN and twice for Senator), but I'm not too proud of a 50% hit ratio.

Rumors of much more frequent sightings on TUP-MEM flights.

Ron Jeremy on ATL-RDU a few years ago. He was in steerage, middle seat, and looked terrible. They gave him a ride to the gate on a cart for some reason.

Not sure if it counts, but Jesse Jackson was in the Atlanta terminal E sky club this morning.

Also, I did get to meet Obama at my hotel gym while traveling. (not delta related but can't resist mentioning it)

A couple of weeks ago flying to SNA, Matt Frenette, drummer for Loverboy. He was extremely kind to a six year old girl seated next to him. When we chatted he introduced himself - and yes, I asked for and got an autograph.

June 29 DL 1444 DTW-DCA... pretty sure kal penn was sitting right behind me in Y... my gf actually noticed him first since she loves john cho and so she's def into the harold and kumar movies. anyhoo, i dont think anyone knew it was him... we debated saying hi or something but then decided it was best to leave him alone.

oh and this is my first post on FT... been lurking forever here.

Just in the SLC SkyClub and the front desk paged David Archuleta. A bunch of teenage girls went crazy asking him for his autograph and pictures. I had no idea who this kid was, so I had to ask someone. In hindsight, I guess this really doesn't qualify for a celebrity sighting!

Actually it does.

I don't know diddly squat about most celebrities nowadays but I'd be lining up with the teenie boppers for an autograph from David Archuleta.

Mrs. Cholula is semi-addicted to American Idol so I also watched a year or two ago when he almost won.
