Janet Jackson

Heath Ledger
Kate Ceberano
Been one foot away from Cate Blanchett but she's like a goddess in real life so I couldn't talk to her. This was me :



Lucky! Were they nice?

I know that many of you equal 'met' with 'I touched his ass when he walked by me on his way to the stage' or 'she signed my t-shirt and I told her I loved her music and she said thanks'.

I always consider 'meeting' someone as at least have a conversation.

In most of his interviews, whether in print or on camera, Jay-Z comes across as one of the most serious and eloquent rappers out there. I mean, no "N´ah mean ?" , no " yeah, yeah , yeah", no " knowwhaddamsayin´?" and so on.
The only other rappers that come to mind who speak as eloquently are old school cats like Ice-T, KRS 1, sometimes Melle Mel and Chuck D but that´s about it.Oh, and sometimes MosDef.
Jigga seems to be dead serious about his business and his musical career. I´m not really that much into his music and lyrics but he´s maintained to keep that levelheaded, down to earth and serious about his business attitude since he first dropped Reasonable Doubt.
What was your impression when you met him ?

Ahh, not to stray from the topic, here´s a short list of folks I either briefly met or maybe even had a long conversation with :

Prince ( walked into a soundcheck back in the days when this was practically not possible and just stayed there and listened and watched, bumped into him several times over the years, know a few folks folks who know him but we never talk about him)

Kurtis Blow ( well, he IS a celebrity , right ?)

Sheila E . ( what a beautiful and positive person ...this was a real pleasure)

Morris Hayes ( this was easily one of the most interesting and relaxed days I have ever spent with someone I don´t really know. Very eloquent and nice and intelligent person, a very good host as well).

Grandmaster Flash

Sugarhill Gang

Moritz Bleibtreu ( we were on the same plane in 1999, London)

Eric Leeds ( several times, a very , very cool person )

Ice-T

Kamanchi Sly ( does anybody remember him ?)


Scrap D. ( well, not really a celebrity but a nice person, at least when I spoke with him )

Manuela Testolini during the NPS days when she was still selling merchandise

and some other folks I can´t remember off the top of my head right now.

Jay-Z called me out when I walked in the studio. I have a thing to not be groupie -ish so I just smile and handle my business. I was working and talking with a co-worker in the studio; the one in the picture. Jay-Z told me I was being rude, so then I started to talk to him. I was so young. That was when I was working the graveyard shift. Little did I know...three months later I jumped to morning drive.

Oh, my boss was such a fucking groupie. He said "what's up Jay? After the show is the after party, right?" I was so embarrassed to work for him.

I interviewed him again four years later after R Kelly was kicked off the tour. We ended up talking about Ninth Wonder, the producer. Back when 9th used to answer my phone calls. Jay told me after 9th produced Threat, he told Jay that he went back to the hotel and 9th and his wife were so happy they made his second daughter. Jay-Z seemed pretty proud that he contributed to that.

Jay's handshake was limp. I hate when men have weak handshakes.

Why do you look like Debra Lee's sister right here??? I met her last year, nice lady. I've also met TI a few times and the first time, in Houston, my homegirls asked to take a pic with him so I took it for them. I got Tiny in the background looking at my friends like she's gonna cut 'em.

I've met lots of celebs but I never ask for autographs or pics. In fact, I ignore them. That usually sets them at ease and makes them more laid back and comfortable initiating a conversation.

Chris Isaac

Sheila E

Skid Row when I was 12...I have pictures with Sebastian Bach that are hysterical!

David Bryan from Bon Jovi


Oh and J7 and Supa!

yup. I am scared I will look like a groupie. But when I worked in radio, we did it for the website. But that was after the interviews n shit.

And I seriously wnat Tiny to stop looking like she walked straight outta public housing. Her hair is always ratty and is always in some Rave/Rainbow outfit. TI makes enough money for her to buy some class.

KatSkrizzle said:

Well, dealing with them was part of your job so that's different. I find that celebs are intrigued by the folks that ain't payin' them no mind. Plus, I don't want to intrude on them so I typically wait for them say something to me first. And if they don't, no biggie. Oh and I dunno if TI has THAT much money.

I was so in love with Sebastian Bach when I was 12. You got to post that pic!!!

SCNDLS said:

I think he does. Grand Hustle is his label. Although he's been locked up for a year, I think he is doing ok. His label mates? No.

Artists....it is an interesting business indeed. I hate to say I don't miss it, but I really dont.

KatSkrizzle said:

Girl, I know TI got paper, but do you know how much it would take to buy Tiny some class???? Trillions!

SCNDLS said:

She looks like she fell straight from the planet of wreckdum, child

And I love Mariah to death, but everytime I see Tiny, I think to myself "Mariah Crackery". They resemble each other,,,,in a hoodrat-ish kinda way

Harlepolis said:

They DO look alike.
