Okay......

AC/DC has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At their induction ceremony, Aerosmith and U2 were both presenters. Al parodied Aerosmith with "Livin' In The Fridge" and U2 with "Cavity Search."

(BTW, the movie sountrack one I had was: Angus Young (and AC/DC) did the song "Big Gun" for the movie "Last Action Hero", which Danny DeVito was in. Danny DeVito was also in "Johnny Dangerously", which Al did the theme song for.)

For a new celeb, how about Jim Carrey?

Good work gim, but if you wanted to be a little more direct, you could have pointed out that it was Steven Tyler himself that inducted them, and they preformed "You Shook Me All Night Long" together

as for Jim Carrey, this one is TOO easy:

Jim Carrey was in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective with Tone Loc.
Al parodied Tone with Isle Thing.

The Ramones *(do NOT use the simpsons for this one)*

The Ramones made a film called Rock 'n' Roll High School.
The film has a Wings song, "Did We Meet Somewhere Before?"
Al parodied the Wings song "Live and Let Die."

Anth, you mean the peanuts creator? If so, his last name is Schulz, not Schultz.

Yes, that's who I meant.

Not a real answer:
Charles draws a cartoon about Charlie Brown.
Patti calls me Chuck.

Okay, seriously:
Charles drew Peanuts.
Peanuts used a piano player named Shroeder.
Whose first name is Rick Shroeders last name
who starred in silver spoons with Alfonso Ribiero
who did a Pepsi commercial with Michael Jackson
who Al has parodied. (I made the max links. Yay!!!!)

If this counts, I wanna see a link with Mekni Pfifer.( name may be misspelled.)

Too easy:

Mekhi Pfiefer was in 8 Mile with Eminem.
Al Parodied Eminem.

Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby starred on "The Cosby Show" with Malcom Jamal Warner.
Malcolm Jamal Warner appeared in Michael Jackson's video for "Liberian Girl," with Al.

There is a picture up on weirdal.com where Bermuda is giving Bill Clinton a backstage pass, so, obviously, Bill got to meet Al.

Well, not necessarily. I mean just because he had a backstage pass, doesn't mean he actually used it. I highly doubt Bill Clinton ever actually went to Al's concert. He probably gave the pass away to one of Chelsea's friends or something.
