How many º's of celebrity are you?

[watcher2001]

I am not related to anyone famous

But I did sleep at a holiday inn express last night

I have actually been an extra in two movies.
"a leauge of their own" I was one of the extras in the bleachers
"Best of the Best III" I was in the courtroom scene and the fight scene after the courtroom.

Also my brother-in-law went to school with Michael Rosenbaum who plays Lex Luthor in smallville.

This won't mean much to foreigners, but I'm the cousin of the longest-running star of NZ's longest-running soap. And he's a member here too (no I won't give you his username)

Assuming it's Shorty Street, would that be Karl ???

If we limit it to family members (as I think was the intention of the opening post), then none. Zip. Zilch. However, if we class my girlfriend as a family member then that does open up some celebrity doors. Her cousin, a chef, cooked the meal at Liam Gallagher and Patsy Kensit's wedding. She's also related to former England international footballer Nick Barmby (albeit quite distantly – something like his dad is her gran's cousin).

As far as relatives go, my second cousin is one of the co-hosts of a extremely popular morning radio show here in the southeast. I don't know how many degrees of separation a second cousin consitutes.

My wife's cousin (once removed) is Jools Holland... (one for the UK there).

I spent three years at Uni with Kate Lonergan, who played Maid Marian in the BBC kids TV programme.

Kelvin Burt, the British Touring Car driver used to live in my road as a kid, he's in Indy Car now I think.

Some of us Americans know who Jools Holland is, too.

I live near Pebble Beach Golf Course in CA. (For those of you who don't know what that is, it's probably/arguably the most famous golf course in America, if not the world)
I often volunteer at Pebble Beach functions (like car shows, fashion shows, and golf tournaments) and oftentimes, there are a LOT of celebrities. I've met a lot of them because of this, but only in passing, of course. I've never really talked to any of them except for two. I had a conversation with Jay Leno at the Concourse D'elegance (a car show) and I shook hands with Clint Eastwood at a black tie dinner there. It was fun.

I saw Michael Jordan smoking a cigar once at a hotel and Many Ramirez threw me a ball. Also, my grandmother lived in the other unit of the duplex that two of the three stooges grew up in (only two were brothers) and my mom lived in the apartment next door to Meyer Lansky (notorious crime boss in NYC).
