just had to post this! i just moments ago was waiting for an elevator here at work, and who got off- and almost walked into me- but Bill Cosby. No kidding! :D tee hee it was surreal. i heard his voice before i saw him. he said hello to a handful of us standing there and told us to stay cool. :D

anyone else have celebrity spottings they'd like to share? having worked in NY for a number of years, I've seen and met my share. Ray Liotta, David Letterman & Paul Schaeffer, Vidal Sassoon, Cher's daughter Chastity Bono (very quiet), spoke with Cher herself on the phone when the daughter was heading into the store- that was weird, Diana Ross (REALLY obnoxious), a bunch of local news people, Al Pacino (quite short), Judy Collins (lovely & gracious)... i know there are more; i'll list them as i remember them.

I have met one of the bearded dudes from ZZ Top. I can't really think of anyone else off the top of my head.

I've seen a lot of famous people just in the last month or so. I got gas on Sunset and PCH right next to Ray Liotta. Saw Jessica Alba recently too.

Not to brag but I've met a lot of celebrities-mostly musicians and athletes. Probably the most famous was Bono, and he was super cool.
