My New Best Friend
On Friday, I had what might have been my most meaningful celeb experience to date (other than the time I won Mark-Paul Gosselar’s doodled and autographed script page at a taping of
Saved by the Bell, of course). I was getting my hair done at my friend’s LA salon and sat down in the chair for my color “consultation” when I hear a squeaky, Texan-inflected voice from behind. I spun the chair around to find, standing a mere 2 feet away, a fresh-faced (re: very red) and petite Renee Zellweger. I smiled, she smiled, and then I realized I was sitting in her chair, as evidenced by the Gucci bag on the table next to me.
I promptly moved seats and began talking Michael Jackson trial with her agent/publicist/manager guy while she Sidekicked with hubby Kenny Chesny. Then, and here comes the REALLY exciting part (for me), she turned around and stared at me. I looked up, our eyes met and she said, “I’m just sitting here wondering what they are going to do to your pretty hair!” I blushed, she smiled, and we both went back to reading US Weekly.
A day I will truly never forget!
