Best Celebrity Sighting: “Jordan Knight, 9.9.09, Pre-VMA Concert.Before the live event began, Jordan was hanging out choreographer Darrin Henson and MTV VJ Amanda Lewis. A few of us in the front wanted to get his attention so we started singing LFO’s hit, Summer Girls. Of course we immediately grabbed his attention, but the best part about it was that he stopped us and started singing from the beginning. When he got to “Chinese food makes me sick,” he corrected the song and said “Chinese food doesn’t make me sick, I love it!” However, my Jordan Knight encounter didn’t end there. I happened to have my NKOTB lunch box that I never got rid of from when I was in kindergarten and asked him to autograph it. Of course Jordan Knight signed it, he’s awesome when it comes to fan appreciation! The concert was good too.”

Best Celebrity Sighting: “Living in NY, I have seen many celebs on the streets, but the best would have to be running into Mary J. Blige in the bathroom of a restaurant. She asked if I was ‘ok’ since I was staring at her. I promptly ran out of the bathroom.”

Best Celebrity Sighting: Meeting & interviewing the cast of ‘Sex and the City’. “Sarah Jessica Parker is very humble, and she smelled so lovely. I was very lucky to have been given the opportunity to meet them – it’s not everyday you get to meet the cast of your favorite television series. It felt very surreal.”
