How many celebrities do you see in everyday life?

[graciously]

seen a few at the airport or lax. Right mainly or usually at places where they live or is safe that being mostly in the west part. Lot of celebrities go to other and don't go to this airport?

Thanks for the answers, it´s quite interesting for me to read about it.
I think next time I visit LA I have to do a little celebrity-sightseeing-tour at Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Brentwood,...

I've probably seen more than I realize. I'm weird in that I live in the entertainment capital of the world, but I hardly ever watch TV. I realized how out of touch I am when I browsed a copy of People's 100 Most Beautiful People a couple of years ago, and didn't recognize over half of them. Then again, I've lived here all of my life, so celebrities don't impress me. Even if I saw someone truly famous, like George Clooney, I'd probably stare for a few minutes to confirm it was really him, and that's it.

I don't hang out at any of the hip, celebrity spotting places, but still bumped into a few. Just recently saw Queen Latifa in a SF Valley restaurant. Also saw Brooke Shields, Kathy Griffith in the Valley, one of the cast members of The Wire (HBO) at the Hollywood Arclight, and once I sat next to Larry King on a plain LA to SF.

I see them from time to time but I am in the Ventura area. Will Smith needed to use our helipad last year. That was cool. Real nice guy. When I was working at a locksmith shop Larry Hagman brought in his moms trael trunk that she used when she performed. The key was lost in delivery. Him and his wife live in over in Ojai, a hot spot for celebs. Kevin Coster went to high school here in Ventura and his parents live in the area. He can be seen at the Buena High School gym watching basketball from time to time. Kevin lives over in Montecito. One of my sisters used to work for a Limo service that Oprah uses when she flies in to the Santa Barbara airport. One day her rep from Harpo called to book a car. My sister asked what airline she would be flying in on. The Harpo rep informed my sister that Mis. Winfrey would be flying in on her own jet. Always thought that was cool. I also used to work for Santa Ventura Studios in Ventura as their locksmith. The facility is now Brooks Film School. The studio filmed first run syndication shows such as "High Tide" with Rick Springfield, "Mike Hammer" with Stacy Keach, "Air America" and several other shows. I remember working on a door one day when Mickey Rooney walked up. He said, Hi I am Mickey Rooney who are you. He was interested in what I was doing to the door, asked lots of questions. Guy was a class act. I was just the locksmith but he took a real interest in what I was doing. Always loved the food. They always had a big spread and it was opened to anyone working out there. A 90210 spinoff was filmed in the Oxnard area. My youngest brother was a regular out there, mostly at the beach and harbor area. He became good friends with the cast and was invited to sit in with them from time to time. Doesn't hurt when you live near the homes they use to film shows at. Years ago I was in Malibu where they were filming a show called Hardcastle and McCormick I watched the show because they had a cool car. I was a kid back then. One day while walking past Gulls Way, a home in Malibu, I ran into them filming the show. That was cool. They used a guest home for the location. Was in Malibu last week and the funniest thing, someone is filming at Gulls Way again. Always thought it was cool to have a home so large that it has a name.
