Celebrities that live in/grew up in/lived in your area
 

Do any of you live near celebs where they grew up??

When I lived in Washington
-Kurt Cobain (Aberdeen/Montesano) - I never knew him, but know his family.
-Brian Danielson (Aberdeen; spent a short time with the WWE)
-Brian "Spanky" Kendrick (Olympia; former WWE Superstar, now with NWA-TNA)
-Sleater-Kinney (Olympia; chick rock band; named after one of the main streets in Olympia, and is also where the girls grew up)
-The Melvins (Aberdeen; rock band, helped Nirvana a lot in their early days)
Endless list of Seattle bands

Here in Idaho:
-Torrie Wilson (Boise; WWE Diva) - I've met her
-Orlando Jordan (WWE Superstar, attended Boise State University)
-Justin Smith (Parma; Singer; Jericho Road) - Met him, too.


H-D :pimp:

I used to live near where John Goodman went to high school (Affton, MO) and I now go to his alma mater (assuming he graduated lol)
Bill Mueller, of the Boston Red Sox, also went here back in the early '90s

I used to live next to Rudy T [Rockets former head coach] for five years. Then he moved and eventually got traded away.

Maddona :D

my dad who is a doctor claims he had the person who invented the bendy straw as a patient a while ago........not a celebrity though lol

The Andretti family lives about 10 minutes from me .....(you know...Mario...Michael)

50 cent lives about 35 minutes away from me

ummmm i know there are many more......just can't think of them at the moment

NELLY! He grew up in East St Louis IL which is the town just west of My Town (belleville IL)
Jackie Joiner Kersee(sp?) Grew up in the same town...
um... They Guys in REVIS grew up just a few miles from here... not too many other Ppl are from here...

Let's see here... Roy Orbison grew up here, in Vernon. Bowling for Soup started in Wichita Falls, which is about 45 minutes west of here. That's all I can think of. I met Kelly Clarkson, though; she graduated with my cousin in Burleson, TX a few years ago; I guess it was about 3 or 4?

Bands from my area (Murrieta, CA):
Well... New Found Glory guys live 5 minutes away from me, Finch went to my high school's (Murrieta Valley) rival school Temecula Valley. Lindsey Davenport went to my high school... a while before me though. I also grew up in San Diego... but there's so many people that have gone on to do famous things from that city. But in Murrieta (an hour north of S.D.) there were a few people.
