Hey, you did not see me hint at the fact I used to represent supermodels did ya?
Enrique Iglesias – Doesn’t speak English very well. I was working a concert in San Diego and he was refusing to perform because the projectors were too large.
Macy Gray – She was running from the cops when I met her. We had to push her to the opening act. Then after she performed, she got back in a car and continued to run.
Tom Hanks – Remember….his kids went to Sacramento Country Day School. Colin was a senior when I was in 5th grade. Colin got voted “Most Inspirational Player” on the high school soccer team. According to my coach (who was also Colin’s coach) the trophy is next to Tom’s Oscars. Anyway, I met Tom a few times. He only gives out handshakes when he’s at his kids events because he didn’t want to take any attention away from them. Class act
Ricky Martin – He was the lead act for a show I was working in San Diego. All hell broke loose when he came back stage. After the concert, we actually had some people following us home, thinking we were Ricky Martins car. Luckily our driver was an ex-cop, so he called the police and they were pulled over.
She bangs....
Erin Carter – Great story. I was playing basketball in a private parking lot backstage at a concert, and guess who runs out…the 15 year old Erin (I think he was 15). I was 18 at the time, and had a significant height difference. He threw back his hair (trying to act hard I guess) and asked “you a baller?” I told him I played, and he told me we were playing one on one. I extended my hand and said “what’s up, I’m Ryan. What’s your name?” He laughed with a “yeah”, like I wasn’t serious. “No really, what’s you name”. This seemed to knock some of his swagger out. In any case, I destroyed him. There are some great pictures of me blocking his shots. He whined and called a lot of fouls. Haha.
Jessica Simpson – Sooo hot...but damn, she’s short. Yeah i was a little dork for wearing my Sunglasses on my head. Whatever, i was in high school.
Me, Jessica and my sis back in 2001
Tyrese – “Yo Tyrese, why didn’t you take off your shirt during your performance? The girls would have gone crazy” . “I don’t know, I was feeling a little puffy today”
Marc Mcgrath –I watched the 2000 Lakers vs. Suns playoff game with him backstage. He was a great guy. You can always tell good artists when they stay for the whole concert. We were also joined by Hanson.
LLCoolJ - This guy is HUGE
Christina Agulera – We call her “80 pounds of *****” for a reason
Mario Lopez – He saw me dressed as a cow at game 7. He ran out and asked me if he could get a picture with me (how ironic). I let him grab my utters for the picture.
John Landis - He’s the director of Animal House, Coming to America, Thriller…a comic genius. He visited Savannah College of Art and Design when I was there for school. I got to have dinner with him and a bunch of other students.
Other pop stars: Ja Rule, O-town, No Doubt, 98 degrees, Jordan Night (he’s a punk), Shaggy, Eifel 65 (remember the song “I’m blue”), Nappy Roots, Jennifer Love Hewitt (sweetheart), Lyonel Richie, Bowling For Soup (they came to my aunts place the next day to watch the Angels game), Brandy..some others
J-Love, me and my sis
Sports Stars:
Drew Gooden: Played poker with him in Vegas. When I told him I was from Sacramento, he said “man, that place is crazy! One time I had a guy follow me down the street yelling “DREW!!”
Allen Iverson: I’ve mentioned this story before. I met him at a hotel bar in Philly.
Chris Webber, Summer Sanders, Lebron James and the entire 1992 kings team.
