Do you know anyone who's been on TV or in the industry?
So have you known anyone who has been on TV or has worked in the film or music industry? Or anything else interesting?
Well here's me.
Since I live in California, and more specifically Los Angeles County, I think that played a role in all the stuff I'm about to list.
1. My Mom is friends with Kenny Ortega, who directed ALL THREE HSM movies, and The Cheetah Girls 2.
2. Ashley Tisdale and Taylor Lautner have attended the High School I am currently going to.
3. I knew a day-care counselor who was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune in 2005, and I know another Day-care counselor who tried out for American Idol.
4. My Cousin Alena knew Blake Lewis, and ran into Paris Hilton one time at a fashion event.
5. My friend Connor was on Desperate Housewives as a stand-in for one of the main characters. He also was on the set of Kyle XY.
6. Another friend of mine, Amanda, has guest-starred on an episode of Samantha Who? I don't know if it has aired yet but I know she was on it from her MySpace pics.
7. My Drama teacher got a part for a CSI episode, and is taping it next friday the 27th. Another friend of mine, Ashley, also was on CSI, in the episode "Grissom vs. the Volcano" back in 2003.
8. One of my Mom's former co-workers was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune.
9. A film crew has been in my neighborhood two times.
10. My friend Kelly was on a set for one of the Confessions of a Shopaholic scenes, and also went to a taping of an episode of Sonny With a Chance, and has met Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. Just so you know, she thought Selena was a bitch.
11. My friend Ali has claimed to meet Britney Spears.
12. Another day-care counselor went to school with Ashley Tisdale, at the high School I currently go to. She said she was a bitch.
13. My Mom used to be in the industry, like two decades ago. She like worked with video and met a few celebs. I think I inherited some of her video skills.
14. My cousin Alena was also featured in MCR's latest video. It was for a second, but she was in it.
Alright, whoa that was a lot to write. What about you?

The most interesting one I can think of is that my parents' good friends, who are quite wealthy, were very close to having their house appear in Ocean's 12. For any Chicagoans reading this, they live in Highland Park; instead the directors chose a house in Winnetka.
I was like five feet away from Frankie Munez at LAX a few years ago. He's really small.

Frankie is the most annoying kid on TV.
I don't personally know anyone that is in the industry, but I've talked to Jonathan Davis on the internet on several occasions, very briefly, and have met Munky, Fieldy, and three members of the band Fair to Midland (signed to Serj Tankian's record label.)

1. One of the teachers at my high school was a contestant on Fear Factor during my senior year.
2. A girl who's in my Government class met Mandy Moore when she was 5 years old.

Oh yeah, almost forgot... my sister grew up next to Pete Wentz.  And his mom is the admissions officer at a private school in my area.
My sister is 26, for the record.

My folks know personally one of the actors from the really old show The Love Boat. He is possibly about to croak so hopefully he made room for us on his will.

My sister was on an episode of Ricki Lake..lol... and my cousin is a pretty successful underground rapper. In fact he just got off tour like a month ago.
I've met Common before at a club and the dude couldn't be more chill. Great experience.

I've met an indie country singer who helped write George Jones' "I Don't Need You're Rocking Chair" (  ). He was performing for free at one of own little town's festivals AFTER filling in for someone at the GRAND OLE OPRY!  I have a hat that he personally signed along with two CDs of his.
Also, my mom's boss' daughter was in a commercial for seat belt safety back in December 2007/January 2008.

Brad Garrett and Eddie Money come into my work every week. My sister went to junior high with Jonathan Taylor Thomas. My mom is the accountant for Jane Leeves (the lady that played Daphne on Fraiser). I see Sinbad and Will Smith in my area pretty often and my mom met Minnie Driver on the beach last summer. That's SoCal for you.

1. During the Onyx Hotel tour, my cousin was in the bathroom after the show alone, and Britney walked in to wash her hands right beside her! my cousin was too nervous to say anything.
2. My dad is friends with Ralph Macchio's (the Karate Kid) father.
