Brush with Beauty…Letterman Style

Jenny McCarthy at a trade show I was at back in the 90s. The photo ops at that show was why I went every year....

Also saw Elin Nordegrn up close a few times. Wowza. Stunning.

Once, inside a week, I saw Marissa Tomei and Courtney Love in the same neighborhood. Maybe 10-12 years ago.

Tomei was beautiful. Seemingly effortlessly.

Love? To borrow a line from Peter Griffin, she looked like if you touched her she'd be sticky.

I covered the Kings in the Jerry Buss Era. First off, Mary Hart (who now sits behind the plate at Dodgers games) was incredible. She always stopped by the press box to say hi to the PR guy. But when Buss brought in the Playboy crowd, my all-timer was Terri Welles, who married Kings player Charlie Simmer. She was Playmate of the Year in 1981. Saw her in one movie, "The Firm." A Tom Cruise thriller. She was dancing with Gene Hackman at a reggae bar in the Caribbean.

Runner-up: Playmate Lorraine Michaels dated Glenn Goldup.

Runner-up: Playmate Lorraine Michaels dated Glenn Goldup.

I was gonna mention this, but I couldn't remember her name. Terri and Lorraine hung out together. I didn't think she was all that great -- but neither was Goldup. She did some soft porn movies.

I'll just say Bo Derek is the most beautiful woman I've seen in person.

Have seen a couple entries at various golf tournaments.

Another vote for Elin Nordegrn, and one not mentioned was Jessica Biel.

Both of them absolutely breathtaking.

I once banged a Miss South Alabama State Fair.

We all have our crosses to bear.

I can't actually remember if I've bumped into anybody famously beautiful — I've seen many renditions of "Wow, that's the most beautiful human I've ever seen," but it's always some random non-famous person.

I have a friend who's a semi-big deal in the poker world. He has received hugs from Jennifer Tilly and Shannon Elizabeth.

Stud Cantrell nailed Miss Strawberry Festival.

That was my thought as well.

The AVN Festival?

Unfortunately, this wasn't me - it was a buddy of mine. He was at a youth hockey tournament in metro Detroit, as was Elle Macpherson, whose son was playing. He got a picture with her, and said she was very nice about it.

Her son (stepson, technically) is a 2003-born who played for Belle Tire.

I coached a 2003-born team in my area and we saw that team at two tournaments in Toronto but alas, there was no sign of her.
