Lots of Oooohhs

I have to say I'm super impressed with the amount of people who played along with my 6 degrees game. Ultimately, it came down to someone who clearly put in the effort, explaining each degree, and knows her 90210!  Below are the responses. I know it's long and most of you will skim to the bottom, but they're hilarious and worth the read! You all are also super fames, btw.

Liz: I went to school with a ridiculous number of reality stars. Most recently, Matt Hoffman from Big Brother. Also, our friend, Jamie's, youngest sister is Natalie from the Bachelor and Bachelor Pad fame. 

Gigi: Is there an app for this? :) (Doesn't really count but I can appreciate the question AND there should be!)

Meagan: Chris Rock walked past Hubby and I on our honeymoon in our hotel. That's how famous I am. 

AuntBT: Ok, I went to HS with a girl who is now a stunt person in LA. She was in Hot Tub Time Machine with John Cusack, who was in Talking to Dog with Lance Henriksen who was in the Last Cowboy with Jennie Garth, who as in 90210. = 5 

Katie: I have two. I date the Boyfriend, who is friends with Matt, and Matt is friends with Lance Briggs (Chicago Bears linebacker). 3 degrees (It should be noted Katie and I went to HS together, and also graduated with Lance, so technically we're both 1 degree). I dated my Ex-Boyfriend, who's Mom worked at CPS with the mother of Jackie Greene (blues/rock musician). 4 degrees. 

Cathy: Randy Breuer is my claim to fame. He's an old NBA player from my small home town. I see his dad from time to time and he's a freaking giant. 

Mimi: I went bowling once and met Tom Wopat. If you don't know who he is than you are too young . Or. Too cool (Yup, No clue, we'll say I'm too young). Cuz he's sorta...not. OR, okay, his brother is my brother's doctor and was my grandparents' doctor before they died and stuff!  So...ME-Grandparents and brother-Their Dr.-Dr. is TW brother. Does that make any sense? I don't think it does.I met a DJ once who is into motocross and knows Pink's hubs and Cameron Diaz...? How's that. OR! I know. SurferWife! She's my connection to hollywood. Girl, I got nothing for 90210. Unless you count this poster of Luke Perry that adorned my bedroom wall for 6 years.  

OH!!!! And one time I went to NOLA and I met the gay guy who dressed like the Chiquita banana lady and stood on a bucket on Bourbon street pretending to be a mime...(but he had the shakes). AND, he was on Cops a lot. (I'm still waiting for my picture proof woman!)

Sharlene T: Me; Evan Rachel Wood; Kevin Bacon. So, me and her connection with co-stars. And, Me; George Clooney (Not cool to not fill in the deets!)

SurferWife: This post made me spit my delicious Have 'A Corn Chips out from laughter. My romper room days were huge. Who knows who I was on there with. But really. Should I enter? I think everyone would slap me. I am a REAL one degree from Jerry Trainor. I, too, am 4 for the Bacon.

3rd place

Natalie: I grew up with 2 people who went to college with Matt Long. He's been in several tv shows, the most recent is as Joey Baird on Mad Men. Two degrees here... (Unknowingly playing on my love for Matt Long, Jack & Bobby anyone, put her very close to the grand prize)   

2nd place

KLZ: I can't compete with any precision on this 90210 challenge. But. My sister had a professor in college who was in a band with Gary Sinise.  Me to Gary Sinise = 4. Which means me to Tom Hanks = 5. And since Tom Hanks has worked with everyone, I'm pretty sure I can get to just about anyone in Hollywood in 6. (Tom Hanks and I were practically neighbors in that he lived in Sacramento, as did his son, Colin. Big, no HUGE, fan of the Hanks and the movie Big actually. Also, go vote for her to go to Blissdom HERE. Today's the last day, so go!)

1st and a half place

Foxy: Oooooh, let's see. Okay, the only person I have any connection with doesn't even look the same as he did when I was growing up. Plastic surgery has not been kind to him. Me-Kenny Rogers' nieces- Kenny Rogers.  My parents were super good friends with their parents and their dad was Kenny's brother. Sadly, I never met him, but I do accept the claim to fame. As inconsequential as that fame might be. 

Ooo, ooo, ooooo.... I have one more!! But still not a 90210 connection. :( Anyway, I went to high school with Andy Pettitte. I never really talked to him though... but I did talk to his girlfriend, who is now his wife. So, that's like, what? 2 degrees?  (woman, you're  3 degrees of Friday Night Lights, that almost trumps 90210!  You - Andy Pettite - Derek Jeter - Minka Kelly.  Now introduce me to Taylor Kitsch, aka Riggins...now, please?!)

The Winner 

JMJE with...

1. Ooooh I like this. I'm going to have to think about this. All I can come up with now is. My good friend and college roomie Morgan is married to Pro poker player Justin who played poker one night with Michael Phelps who guest starred on Entourage with Jeremy Piven who was in smoking aces with Ben Affleck who was in Mall Rats with Shannen Doherty aka Brenda Walsh. Uh yeah that was kind of long and I had to use IMDB. I will have to come up with something better. 

2. OOOH ok i have a better one. I'm getting no work done today by the way. My former roommate Amanda went to Wake Forrest University at the same time as Mouth (Lee Norris) from One Tree Hill (AND in OTH he went to Cuse). Mouth worked with Paul Johansson on One Tree Hill who starred as John Sears (frat bro to Steve Sanders) on 90210. Yay!

3.OK, I have one last one. My friends Jenni was an extra on Dawson's Creek, which stars Joshua Jackson. Joshua Jackson and Tori "Donna Martin Graduates" Spelling both had cameo roles in Scream 2. Basically, Pacey and I are pretty much best friends. (This pretty much sealed it, since JMJE and I are TV biffs that totally makes me biffs with Pacey by association too!)

Please send me your address lady, you've got some freshly baked treats coming your way!
