A friend of mine was the frontman of a really popular local band for awhile and actually got picked up by a major label last year. They ended up breaking up though because he realized he wasn't interested in pursuing fame.
Also my family runs a clothing store and my mom SWEARS she saw one of our regular customers make it through to Hollywood on American Idol this year; we're just waiting for him to come in soon to confirm
So maybe he'll become famous nnnn
And idk if this counts, but I know someone who is very friendly with Emma Watson
Trying to make a meet-up happen
