Have you ever taken care of a celebrity?

No, but I've served them food!!!

Captain and Tenille, John Wayne Bobbit (sans Lorena), members of two of my favorite bands...Godsmack and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the actor who was in that Dear John show...he played Kurt, a real jerk (and he was a jerk in person as well), governor of Nevada (not a real celebrity, but him and his wife eat at my folks' restaurant all the time), and several other regional celebrities. Oh, and Jonny Mosely, Olympic gold medalist....but we failed to recognize him and he got very snippy with us. He was quite offended that we didn't recognize him.

When I was about 15 I worked as a volunteer at a hospital in Palm Springs, Ca where I brought newpapers and such to Former First Lady Betty Ford! The hospital is right next door to the Betty Ford Clinic! She was really nice but there were alot of bodyguards around at all times. :)

How about a thread for those of us who know and are friends with celebrties? That could be interesting.

More toward the OP, I have seen a few red carpet kings and queens in my medical career. Amazingly enough, they got the same effect from my treatment as plain ol'Average Joe. Didn't seem to matter what THEIR career was, they were more concerned about MINE, which was included making them BETTER!. I will say, that they can often be a little more...oh. What's the word? THANKFUL?

In the end, they put their boxer breifs on the same way I do.
