a Cleveland man who moved to California with his girlfriend.&nbsp; Bob Gray and Liza Foster got new numbers on their cell phones when they moved states, but while Foster got a number formerly belonging to a little old lady, Gray found his new number belonged to comic actor Nick Swarsden.&nbsp; &nbsp;Many of Swarsden\u2019s celebrity friends, including the likes of Paris Hilton and Adam Sandler, were still calling his old number.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>\u201cThe day after I got the number, I got this text message: \u201cI saw you on TMZ, what a bummer\u201d.&nbsp; I\u2019m thinking, \u2018TMZ?\u2019\u201d Gray recalls.&nbsp; The next day he got a text message from none other than Paris Hilton, inviting him to her 30<sup>th<\/sup> birthday bash.&nbsp; \u201cWe texted back: \u2018We\u2019d love to come to your birthday party, put Bob Gray and Liza Foster on that list and send the address.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>The calls kept coming from actors and agents alike, before Adam Sandler solved the mystery and found it highly amusing in the process.&nbsp; \u201cI\u2019m the one that told Adam Sandler he had the wrong number,\u201d Gray laughs.&nbsp; \u201cWhen I relayed what I\u2019d been doing, and parties, and the fun I\u2019d been having with it he just thought it was hysterical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>As might have been expected in California, Gray is now writing a movie about the experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An old cell phone number formally belonging to a celebrity
