(5/10) Celeb Run-ins... shambles

So... I'm really bad at meeting celebs, but I have seen a whole lot of people during my stay in NY! Here is my list of celeb sightings, run-ins, and encounters (in order of appearance of course). :)

1. Jeffrey Tambor aka the dad from The Hangover
Story: soooo I saw this guy just walking back from work near Broadway and did a double take! He's been in a lotta movies, but most recently, the Hangover.

2. Rachel Dratch from SNL
Story: I saw this SNL cast member walking down 10th street on my way back to my NYU dorm. She's actually not as frumpy in person LOL she looked kinda normal!

3. Alex Wolff of the Naked Brothers Band on Nickelodeon
Story: I saw this young Nickelodeon actor/musician at the same place as Rachel Dratch (close to 10th and 5th) walking with an old man. I was walkin with the homie J Regalado and kept sayin "is that the kid from the Naked Brothers Band?" ha! He was talkin about his career believe it or not and on our way back from eating we saw him and the old man again!

4. Theophilus London
Story: So anyone who I know, who loves music has probably heard me utter the words 'You know Theophilus London? You should def check him out!' I've seen this guy twice in Manhattan and once in BK. Love his music! (This is a pic from the Diesel: U Music Tour)

5. Russell Simmons
Story: I saw this hip hop mogul on my way back from snaggin my Diesel Music tour tickets where I would ultimately see Kanye West and take a terrible pic of him lol. I literally said "Oh wow. Russel... Hi!" and he gave me the nod with a look in his eye like 'please litlle negress... don't cause a scene i got bizness to take care of' ha! He was on his phone steppin out of a nice ass car!

6. Kanye West
Story: soooo I was soooo excited that the special guest at the Diesel Tour was Kanye West! Ye is one of my favorites so I started to back up out of fear when he came off stage and then when I realized how close we were I started running towards him and his bodyguard says "NO!" and points to me. So I try and take a picture... ugh. So a camera on zoom and an open bar are a bad mix for celeb sightings I guess.

7. Kelis and her baby
Story: On my way to pick up promo checks for work, I saw a newly-divorced Kelis and her newborn! Good luck on the settlement with Nas! Get that mon(t)ey gurl!!

8. T-Weed from "I love New York"
Story: So we're havin a nice ass time at Hotel on Rivington and I turn around to see this negro T-Weed! Then I tell my friend Roberto and he goes "Yo T-Weed" so we proceeded to take pics with him! ha!
