my mum is an actress so through her have met many celebs. the most notable ones being Steve Martin, Bryan Brown (and Rachel Ward) & Sam Neill. Any older members may have seen my mum in Australia You're Standing In It. She was also in a tv series called Home, in which i was her baby (lol), she has also been in Neighbours, Country Practice, Mercury (ABC with Geoffrey Rush), does stand up, and other stage productions both on her own or with MTC etc.
My dad is a muso, and both 'rents know the guys from Skyhooks etc. Dad played support for Royal Crown Revue once, and is now a respected friend of Eddie and the boys (I have met them too) (oh, and my dad was in Soapbox circus which merged into Circus Oz)
Off my own bat, I have met Ben Lee at a gig in Canada, one of the guys from Body Count (LOL!), Shane Woewodin just after he won the Brownlow -he was browsing CDs in Target. Oh and last week, i saw Sophie Monk eating lunch in Southbank.
So if it wasnt for my parents... i wouldnt have many claims to fame.....

I had Jamie Dunn try and do a radio prank on me ...but the tables turned(I have that knack) and in the end his co -workers were laughing at him, not with him ...
