Few years ago I've shaken hands with NBA basketball star Gary Payton when he was still with the Seattle Supersonics, as well as teammate Rashard Lewis (?) who was sitting beside him signing autographs. I've seen Ray Allen (Payton's successor) at a signing at a local department store, but my family were in a hurry to do some shopping.
As far as national household names go, recently I've met TV celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis (host of 'Everyday Italian' on US cable channel Food Network) when she came to town promoting and signing her new cook book. She was such a sweetheart, just like on TV, and gave me a hug. And good lord, really hot in person and yet very petite (5'0).

Next week I am hoping to meet Anthony Bourdain, celebrity chef, writer (gained his fame from his best-selling book, 'Kitchen Confidential'), and TV host of Travel Channel's 'Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations' when he comes to town to promote his new book, as well as filming a Seattle episode of 'No Reservations'.
