So if you know me at all you know that I am a bit of a stalker when it comes to celebrities. I do come by this honestly, however. My mother stole a brick from the future house of Troy Aikman on one of the many trips completely out of our way to his house. We have stalked people like Deion Sanders, Troy, OJ Simpson (big mistake), Meg Ryan (worked out with her once; ok in the same gym with her once), and a few others. So naturally while in Las Vegas my eyes were peeled for just a mediocre sighting. I would settle for K-Fed, Stalone, or even Paris if I had to. A couple years ago Bill and I hit the mother load when we were walking through the Paris hotel and saw a huge crowd only to see moments later, about six feet away, Micheal Jackson. That was cool! I get a little crazy and am not at all afraid to chase them down and pretend to be paparazzi(sp). Now to the point...as Bill and I walked out of our show Friday night, "O" it was AMAZING, we see a large group of people standing outside of a club called The Bank. Not one I have heard of in US Weekly so I did not think much of it. That is until I saw about ten camera men waiting for someone. PAY DIRT they are paparazzi! I start dragging Bill with me to follow them, he does not share my enthusiasm so I quickly leave him behind pull out my camera and join the crowd. Low and behold here he comes right past me Vin Diesel. Oh Momma! He is a blessing in so many many ways! I start flashing my camera and he is posing for "me" and the other 100 people standing around. After what seems like forever he enters the club with a wave. My heart is beating 100 mph and I am so excited! The next thought is oh crap Bill! I just ran off, I hope he is not mad!! I find him standing away from the crowd by a wall. As I run up to him to share my stories he says "I shook his hand!" WHAT??? He tells me that right after I ran off Vin Diesel walked right in front of him with his entourage and shook Bill's hand. THUNK! Too bad for me see if I ever follow the crowd again. Who cares we just saw him!! I quickly text anyone that I think would care, then delete half of them because it is 3:00 am Dallas time, not quite that important. It was great!
So do you think I am crazy??

Well, Jenn you need to make a trip out to see us. I have been told the hot spot malls that the celebs go shopping at. A friend of mine in church says she doesn't even try and she has seen at least 7 celebrities at these places. Another friend of mine says it will be like going to a safari or zoo. Trying to find then gawk. Its fun. I am glad you had a good time.
That's is hilarious. I can hear Bill, smugly saying that to you, so proud. Happier to be able to TELL you that he shook his hand than he was to actually shake the guys hand!!! Too funny. I saw Brett Favre once in Chicago. I got giddy over that!! :)
