There are two sides to all celebrities: The squeaky-clean images forced upon the public by PR reps and their actual personalities. To provide you with a glimpse into the real Hollywood characters are Mollygood’s very own readers, telling tales of celebrity encounters big and small. Up this week: Reader Lalaena's run-in with Sean Paul.

I have been infatuated with Sean Paul and his boy braids for almost two years now, and my daughter has also become a fan. She used to love the video for "Temperature," which I had to play daily for her last year, and still asks "Is that Sean Paul?" when she hears reggae/dancehall music or sees a guy with braids.

I flew to Miami this past Christmas and arrived at the luggage carousel about 30 minutes after my flight. While my dad negotiated with an employee to release my baggage (it was about to be taken away to some red-tape hellhole), I noticed a guy who looked suspiciously like Sean Paul also waiting for luggage. My brother and sister saw him too, but weren't sure it was actually him. I'm not sure who else wears full-on blinged-out sunglasses and a sparkly camouflage outfit in public in the middle of the day, even in Miami, so I made the assumption that we were indeed in the presence of a musical celebrity. I was going to do the ever-so-sneaky "let's take a picture of us with him in the background," but then I realized that this is my daughter's chance to "meet" someone she likes!

So I went up to him. As soon as I said, "Excuse me," I saw the look of resignation on his face; this guy didn't want to be bothered by some chick at the airport. But it was for Sofia, so I went on. I told him that my daughter was a huge fan of his, and would he mind taking a quick picture with her? While I'm saying this, mind you, I'm realizing that no mother should be saying that her three year-old kid is a huge fan of a guy who sings about smoking ganja and sex, especially one who seems to have just partaken in one of those activities. But so be it. He agreed, so I pushed my sister, who is young and pretty, to take the picture with him. Of course, when I excitedly asked my kid, "Do you know who this is?", she did not respond as I expected. Instead, she looked at him like he was going to rob her, as seen in the attached picture. She first covered up her face with her bunny, and I was like, "No, smile!" and Sean Paul graciously told her, "Don't cover up your face," or something like that, in a very nice way. The picture came out crappy because I didn't want to use flash and bother him, but it was a lovely experience. And he's very cute in person.
