Joe and Theresa Guidice EWR BUF on 4214.
Saw them deplaning in BUF.
Asked the FA after I boarded the return to EWR today, and said "they dont' qualify as a celebrity sighting". I laughed.

Sat and talked with former Governor Pataki ALB-IAD. Very different persona than the media image, meant positively.

Yay, my first post here!
Just went through IAD pre-check with Herbie Hancock! He was in town for Kennedy Center Honors. Way cool!

Sat next to Neil Sedaka on Dec 13 Flt 703. We chatted for about an hour at the start, then watched our movies, and chatted a bit at the end.

Bono
Sat 1 row in front of Bono last Sunday from JFK to JNB on SAA (UA codeshare). He was headed there for the Mandela ceremonies. Boarded last and couldn't have been nicer to everyone. Took pics with the cabin crew in the galley at the end of the flight.

Robert Knepper (T-Bag from Prison Break) was at the way back of coach on a flight from LAX to EWR few months back. He looks just as creepy in real life, excited to see him in Hunger Games...

Walked through T7 security @ LAX last week with Turtleman from Animal planets "call of the wild man". It was the morning after his Tonight show appearance. He headed to a flight in T6 with his agent.

Kanye West was in the GF cabin with my wife and I Munich-ORD, presumably coming home from his Africa adventures, where he made such statements as proclaiming that he was going to be the next Nelson Mandela. 
Did not recognize him (and glad we didn't) during the flight, but as we disembarked, one of the guys lined up to take the wheelchair pax shouted "KANYE!", then the connection was drawn.
He had no carry-on bags, and was not waiting in baggage claim--he was gone by the time we'd walked from the gate to Customs (we got hung up by the GF rep who gave us our new boarding passes as we were late)...I assume that someone from UA was getting his bags, as your in the secure area when claiming bags off an international flight. Is that a thing for all GS members, or something only afforded to the 'VIPs'?
The oddest thing was that one couldn't help but notice when he was sleeping, he was sucking his thumb...Yes, like a baby. It was really weird.
I figured that someone with his net worth and amount of publicity genrated would fly private. I doubt he was burning SWUs on that flight and sweating a gate upgrade.

The Blind Boys of Alabama were on my flight SFO-SEA on Monday. They boarded late and had a couple of assistants carrying guitars. They performed on Tuesday at Benaroya Hall in SEA.

No pics? TMZ would have paid for those tickets of yours with the severance. Probably to naive of a pax judging on your post.

Johnny Galecki and Kelli Garner
Saw Johnny Galecki (Leonard on "The Big Bang Theory") and his girlfriend Kelli Garner (from the short-lived ABC drama "Pan Am") deplaning at ORD today, off a flight from LAX.
