What do they have in common?


Peter Cetera
Jimmy Buffet
Rodney Dangerfield
Cindy Crawford
Jackie Mason
Don Brewer (Drummer from Grand Funk)
Bebe Rebozo (former client)
Lee Trevino
Rep. Dick Gephardt
Senator Tom Harkin
Senator Lindsey Graham
Frank Vincent aka Phil Leotardo from the Sopranos

plus a bucnh of sports stars...including Don Shula, Dan Marino, and world Jai-Alai Champion...Joey!

What do they have in common? Nothing, except that they are a few of the people I have bumped into over the years in South Florida....
Everyone has brushes with celebrities from time to time....and everyone has there favorite celebrity sighting story.

When Hui was a waiter on South Beach, he had Madonna and Sean Connery at the restaurant.....but my favorites story is about the phony hypocritical politician Senator Alfonse DaMato....who I spotted at the Delano hotel a few years ago....after a crazy Halloween party.....He seemed to have had a few drinks....and was starring at a couple asian guys dressed in drag....and I could barely hear him make a comment to one of them....maybe it was wishful thinking on my behalf that he would actually try to pick one of them up....and that the National Enquire could have taken a photo of the bastard....but no such luck.
