Oh man! I have met quite a few celebs, but I do not have any photos except for famour gospel artist. I'm not sure if everyone would know them. LOL.

All of the legendary gospel group of the Clark Sisters;

Kirk Franklin;

Smokie Norful;

Shirley Cesear;

Donne McClurkin;

Martha Munnuzi;

Kurt Carr and The Kurt Carr singers;

Keith Sweat;

Melba Moore;

Stephanie Mills;

Michael Baisden;

and quite a few more that I don't have time to tell. I am a professional gospel singer myself so I meet a lot of gospel artist all the time.

I have pics with Don King and Brian McKnight.Oh and many members from the popular FOX TV shows of the early-mid 90's because I worked at a FOX affiliate. I need to try to find the picture with King. His hair was an absolute mess!

A North Carolina classic-Ric Flair

The guy who played Al on Home Improvements, I think Dawson's father on Dawson's creek (I didn't know who he was), and Oprah...I was on her show!

Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton. Dale Earnhardt. Hank Williams Jr.

ODB, Busta Rhymes & Jerry Stackhouse

Toni Collette, Jim Hunt, Dale Murphy, Dave Matthews, Jerry Stackhouse, Woody Durham (came to my wedding!), saw Michael Jordan several times in Chapel Hill but didn't talk to him, related to Armistead Maupin, Bill Clinton when he was president- awarded my dad a medal of heroism

I wish I had pictures, but I don't/ Due to my Uncle Phil's political connections, I have met many governors, senators, and congressmen. I have also met Lisa Loeb (who is very nice to everyone and actually happy to talk to people!), Lauren Bacall (my favorite actress even though she sometimes spouts off a little too much political rhetoric), and when I was in NYC 2 years ago, Uma Thurman walked into Toys r Us with her son. My friend Cerine and I were in there.

Fuller was was a guest at our house once. I also met David Cassidy once. He was sitting in front of me in a private box at the Yankees - Mets game where Clemens hit Piazza in the head. A friends wife was a sorority sister of Jenny Steinbrenner and got us tickets.

I met and "hung out" with Sean Patrick Flannery and friends when he lived in Wilmington one summer, about 17 years ago, (Young Indiana Jones series, Powder), saw Juliana Margulies, Blythe Danner, Carla Gugina, Ana Gasteyer, the male neighbor from Married with Children, Ashley Parker Angel, and Gale Harold in NYC and Condaleeza Rice at a U2 concert in Washington, DC.
