I heard from a friend today that Chris was at the Brad Paisley concert in Charlotte last night. My friend was just a few rows over from Chris and she almost had a heart attack. I don't know why she didn't try to talk to him. I also don't understand why she didn't take any pictures of him. I thought he would be in Hollywood now but I guess he staying home for awhile before the tour.

she was prolly in shock...

omg i would've went crazy.

i cna't wait to see him live =]

I thought he was in LA cause he was on Leno???

Well did she say Chris had a bigger audience then Brad? lmao

Maybe he was home for Father's Day weekend, and decided to take in a concert...that's cool that he can still go in public and enjoy himself. I'm surprised he wasn't bombarded with fans. Is your friend positive it was Chris? He was just on Jay Leno in Los Angeles a couple of days ago.

For some reason I was thinking that the "kids" were kind of locked into the LA area for a while because of rehearsals before the tour. But of course, Tay-Tay went to Birmingham this weekend to duet with Snoop Dog but I imagine he went on the corporate jet. I would give anything to know if that was Chris in the audience for Paisley's show. If it was him, I'll bet he was mobbed after the show and it will be in The Charlotte Observer this week. They have been really good about reporting the Chris news. Please let us know if anyone else saw Chris at the show!

i wish Chris got to go home this weekend (or at least see his family), its Father's Day after all...

thanks for sharing this!

LMAO!!!!!!!! are you serious??? just the thought of that is beyond hilarious,can ya imagine???!!!

Tayizzle is Snoops nizzle fo rizzle

Hey Elle!...Are you in Charlotte? I'm in Wilmington. With Screen Gems walking distance from my home celebs come and go all over town without papparazzi hounding them and the locals try no to bother them unless they are in pre-publized setting as if that is okay or something then. Is it like that in Charlotte too?

A while back it had poured rain at an event and I ran into the ladies room and began to chit chat with a lady in there. She suggested I put my hair in a pony tail so I did and she faced me and was straightening my hair for me, her hands on each side of my head when all of a sudden I really looked at her and said shockingly.."OMG you're Kim Bassinger"!...She laughed and said "You scared me!". She said " Well I did think that NC and SC were two states I can do normal things without being bothered by papparazzi and people don't bother you all the time but now I think maybe they just don't know who I am?...She was so cute....and SHORT!!!...lol

Omg..you live in Wilmington? Awesome! I've been there to go to the Screen Gems because One Tree Hill is my favorite show, so I had to go see the set, lol. Have you ever seen the cast of One Tree Hill out around anywhere? If I saw Chad Michael Murray or James Lafferty...I think I would die of shock, lol.

Actually yes. Sean, my god-son, http://www.loxstep.net/, was living with me a year ago and was actually hanging out with the cast and that girl that use to be on Guiding Light (sorry I don't watch the show just know her from GL) but anyway she was with him when they came by the house one night. Sean could be seen in several clips on there but just as a day player. He has had lines several times but most of whatall he has done went to the editing floor.

My niece has a crush on Chad Michael Murray. Imagine her surprise when she came home from school one day and standing outside her house was this guy. They actually used her home in a scene and her Dad had not told her. She lives down the street from me on the same street. I run into ppl all the time that see them out and about around town. But since I don't watch that show I could have them sitting right next to me and not know it.

I was chatting with someone at the Hilton one night during the Azalea festival and later someone came up to get my autograph. I asked why and they said because I must be part of the crew of "Surface" because all the group I was with were in that show...(another one I don't watch that is filmed here!...lol).Obviously, I didn't know who they were. lol!..
So yeah, they must be around. I do know when they are in the filming season here that you could run into any of them downtown Wilmington at night especially at Elijah's Restaurant or some of those downtown night spots. So next time you are here don't just go to the Studios. You might just find out something by asking the guard at the gate or go to the cafe at the Studios and if you sit there a while and you will definitely see the stars coming in if they are filming.

Sean can be seen as the bartender at the wedding scene on the finale after most everyone had left the wedding. That scene did include lines for him but the scene was cut that had him speaking but that is how it is when you are not one of the main stars.

One Tree Hill bought the rights to one of Sean's songs to play as background music but they have not used it as yet. When and if they use it maybe I'll know and let you know then.
He had longer hair and was in a bar scene playing keyboard as some guy with blonde buzz cut hairdo was singing and playing the guitar about a year ago. I taped that scene for Sean that is why I know about him being in that scene.

I believe that Sean will definitely be really famous one day. He is awesomely talented especially with music. That band, Loxstep, broke up and Sean signed up to go to work over in Iraq....but when he gets back I will be pushing his music career ....so keep an eye out for him! btw..all the songs on that website he composed and wrote himself.

Wow! Thanks for all the information! I think it would just be awesome to be living in a town with famous people like that. I live about an hour away from Greensboro, where Chris calls home, but I mean, I've never seen him there. I might have seen him before he was famous and didn't pay any attention to him. But it would be awesome living in a town where you can just go into a restaurant and famous people are sitting and eating like normal. The only famous person I've ever met is Josh Gracin, and that was because I got meet and greet passes to his concert in my hometown, lol. And the girl off Guiding Light...her name's Bethany Joy Lenz Galeotti. She recently got married to a guy from the band Enation. And that's so awesome that your god-son has been on One Tree Hill multiple times! I've only been to the sets once, and that was during their off season so I haven't been able to see anyone. Hopefully I will be able to go down there while they're filming and extra or something.

Send a recent pic, even a polaroid snapshot with a short note by mail to Fincannon & Associates Castings % Screen Gems Studios, 23rd St., Wilmington, NC 28405.
(or Google to get a better mailing address) On the first line of the note state that you would be available to be an extra during the summer months, etc.. or whatever days, months, weekends, etc. Include in an outline form: Name, address, phone number, email address (optional), age, color of hair, eyes, size shirt/blouse, pants size, shoe size, and hat size. ethnicity if applicable, Languages, if you speak some other language, special skills, if any like: play guitar, sketch artist, etc. etc. Sometimes they shoot other places in NC other than in Wilmington and Fincannon does casting for other film projects other than with Screen Gems and other than in NC. I worked for them a short time back in the '80's and also worked at other casting agencies and I don't think things have changed that much. But if really serious about getting into film get a good agent, do some community theater, or even school plays lend to experience. Just build on your resume. If interested in professional photo let me know.. my son is a photographer in Fayetteville and actually has worked for many film projects and knows what they are looking for and does go to Greensboro for shoots.

Thanks for letting me know all this! I really appreciate it!

I went to Hollywood this weekend (6-15 thru 6-18) and I really wanted to run into Chris....I didn't so maybe after he was finshed with Leno he went home for the weekend. I knew it was a long shot to see him but I was hoping!!!! I was staying at the Mondrian on Sunset Strip so I was in the perfect area to run into him!!! BUT you can NEVER believe WHO I did run into......Katherine McPhee!!! Of all the Idol's to run into!!! The one I DONOT care for!!!! She was at the same restaurant on Sunset Strip that I was at with my friends, she was with her 44 year old boyfriend!!! Hopefully I can win a meet and greet for the AI tour when it comes to Tampa!!!

You went all the way to Hollywood from Tampa just by chance you might run into Chris? If so, you win Biggest Chris Daughtry Fan Award or you are really suffering from obsession bad!!!lol!!!

Katheryn gets such a bum rap!...If ppl would choose to like her and just give her the benefit of the doubt that she is an awesomely sweet and actually humble girl then they would begin to really genuinely like her. All the things said about her is really nitpicking. I know without a doubt she is really nice because she roomed with Kellie Pickler and Kellie loved her. I think you really have to be from NC to realize how genuinely honest Kellie is and know that she is no dummy when it comes to really being snubbed or patronized. Rich Kathryn actually genuinely befriended Kellie who is from the backroads of Albemarle. You should have gotten her autograph.

i would have died!

Hey Faye, this is Elle. No, I am not from Charlotte (wish I were though!) but I have enjoyed reading their newspaper when I get the chance Where I AM from is Virginia and I have also been keeping up with the Charlottesville VA news on Chris. He graduated from Fluvanna High School and his parents still live there. The teachers all had such nice things to say about him when they were interviewed.

I really got a good laugh out of reading your experience in the ladies room with Kim Basinger; sounds like she is a nice down-to-earth sort of person and I think it was great you got to meet her and talk. I'll bet it is Hell putting up with the papparazzi! Thanks for an enjoyable post!

Yes, that was fun and she was sweet...Didn't mention it was the month before the news broke that she and Alex broke up. She told me to tell him she would be right out and there he was right outside the door. He smiled and was pleasant and said thank you. I don't like him so I wasn't impressed about seeing him.

Yeah, I have all the news media reports from Fluvanna on my playlists. So are you familiar with the Fluvanna area? I know peeps on here would love to get a pic of him in high school. I have read that Fluvanna is a well to do area. Wonder why Chris chose to come back to NC to live after HS? So I guess he grew up as a child in Lasker where his grandfather lives, then the family moved up there, and then just he moved to McLeansville. A little old lady I met in McLeansville said she wanted to show me where he lives and took me by his home in McLeansville. I snapped some photos but I would never publish them. I felt like I had really intruded in his personal life doing that. With all the urban areas he could live in and around Greensboro he chose to live in the most rural area outside G'Boro. Says a lot about his character I think that he so loved growing up in Lasker that he wanted that rural life for his family.
