Without doing the list alphabetically, you tipped your hand.

 

That's a good one. Mine listed started with most recent:
1. Michael Ballack -- I'm pretty sure I saw him walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago during MLS All-Star Weekend.
2. Jennifer Garner -- Saw her in the crowd this year at Jazz Fest this year. Her lips are a bit freakish in person.
3. Dennis Hopper -- He walked past a deli I was eating at in Charleston, S.C. A waiter ran out to the sidewalk and hollered "PBR!" at him.
4. Nancy O'Dell (nee' Humphreys) -- Again, in Charleston, during her stint as a reporter/anchor at a TV station there. She's not a tremendously famous person, but she's hot as hell and makes the list because I rubbed butts with her. She walked into the East Bay Trading Co. one night and was pretty much immediately mobbed by every guy in there, save me. I stood where I was and she wound up being surrounded and pushed against my backside. If my ass could talk ... (please, no Ace Ventura jokes)
5. Phyllis George -- I was actually in a TV commercial. We were on a field trip to Frankfort when she was married to Kentucky Gov. John Y. Brown, who owned KFC and the Celtics at various points. All of us swarmed Phyllis because it was during the NFL Today portion of her "career." Brown deadpans "Doesn't anybody want my autograph" and that's the punch line to the commercial.

 

Mandi is short for Amanda.
and I just listed them by age, too.
