Not me...but about a week ago, my sister was seeing a play at Brown University and Danny DeVito's daughter or neice was in it so he was there and my sister met him. Also, Ewan McGregor kissed my mom a few years back.

That's all I got.

I haven't actually met any famous people but I've seen a few. You'd be surprised how many are walking around in Chicago. I saw Will Farell and he waved at me. ;] And I saw Joan Cusack, that was cool. My mom actually met Jessica Alba, Jerry O'Connel and Anthony Anderson....and didn't take one picture. :rolleyes:

I met John Lithgow in New York this year. It was May 29th, and I was walking back to the hotel after seeing "Wicked." Suddenly I passed a tall man heading in the opposite direction as me. It took my brain a few seconds to register that it was the ONE AND ONLY John Lithgow! I could not for the life of me remember his last name, though, so I followed him yelling "John! John!" (I'm sure he thought I was some crazy stalker LOL). Finally, after yelling his first name about ten times, I finally thought to add "Can I have your autograph?" That did the trick, and I pulled out my handy-dandy autograph book (a necessity when you're a rabid Broadway fan let loose in NYC) and he signed it. I was on cloud nine for the rest of the day! Although I was also embarrassed to have made such a spectacle of myself. Oh well, at least I got his autograph, that's all that matters! :)

Well, it was a long time ago...in the early 90's and my mom was in NYC with her british friend who knew who Ewan McGregor was and they saw him. Now, my mom had never heard of him, but she went up to him anyway and said "I'm such a huge fan!" (I mean, come on he's gorgeous!). So then he just gave her a kiss - on the cheeck. And then supposedly his wife (or ex-wife now?) punched him. And ever since then my mom has been in love with him. :)

i saw carol channing at the airport when my mom and i were seeing my dad off a few years ago. I have met alot of singers/bands though...

-Tyler Hilton (tallest freaking person ever. I was on tip toes, and he was bending down, and there was still a huge height difference)
-Gavin DeGraw (5 times--really sweet, gave me a big hug and drew happy *candle* when I saw him on my 18th birthday, and had a discussion about a picture on his site when I saw him for the 1st time, on my 17th birthday)
-Joey DeGraw (Gavin's older brother, he was really nice and funny)
-Teitur
-Blase DeBris guitarist (he and his friend actually helped paint my porch and he got me a signed cd)
-Florez (lead singer stared at the pins on the lapel of my blazer for like 5 minutes before informing me that Nightmare Before Christmas and Bon Jovi is a good combo)
-Gideon Freudmann (performed with my high school orchestra)
-Howie Day (he refused to touch anyone's hand, or even look at them),
-Kyle Riabko
-Moments In Grace (the guitarist was realllly tall, and the singer was overly excited when he signed my shirt and it came out good)
-Never Heard of It (probably would have liked them more if I hadn't been standing in line to get into the venue for 2 hours)
-Ryan Cabrera
-Smile Empty Soul (twice--ADHD/drunk/stoned freaks, but I love them)
-Steriogram
-Trapt

Oh yeah, and SUNY Albany, the university in Albany, where I live, is the summer training camp for the NY Giants football team. I've gone a couple of times and gotten a bunch of their autographs

i live in toronto so i see celebrities everywhere the month of october while the TIFF is going on so i'll just stick to the celebrities i actually respect.

i once met George Clooney while he was promoting Goodnight and Goodluck, he shook my hand and i told him i was a fan with an exeption for Batman And Robin, he laughed to my relief.

Chanwook Park was in town promoting Sympathy For Lady Vengeance, he's one of my favorite living film makers so i got his autograph on my copy of Oldboy which i had ran home to get as fast as i could before he left the bar he was at.

i met Johhny Depp at a TIFF screening, he was nice, sat in the same isle i did.

Luc Besson was in town on some promotional thing for the north american release of Danny The Dog and i saw him at a coffee shop talking to a little crowd of fans so i joined in.

and i got to shake the hand of Robert Rodriguez, which was fantastic.

other people i've seen... hmm, uh Adrian Brodie, Jake Gylinhaal, Takashi Miike, Ron Perlman, Dave Groal, like that.

its nice living in toronto, people in canada arent nearly as crazed as people in the states about celebrities so they tend to feel more comfortable about walking the streets and shaking peoples hands.

put yer duce down silly pants. i didnt even know you where a rich californian, you're just a flake because of the way you are, not 'cause of your income, your place of residence or your hilarious avatar. you're an open book honey, especially your reaction to my calling you barbie. it tells me you've been called it before, which leads me to believe its probably true considering how defensive you are about it.

Now barbie, no talking from you anymore? mkay? mkay.

Around christmas time when I was in the 5th grade went to a christmas party and I met rick fox, shaq, kobe bryant, devin george and derrek fisher. One time I saw Lindsey Lohan get into a car accident be I didn't meet her, I've seen britney spears k fed and the baby one time when I went to visit my aunt in malibu and I'm quit sure i've seen more celebs because I live in los angeles close to hollywood not to brag.

When I was a baby, my family went to the Chicago Cubs' spring training in Arizona, and we got some pictures taken with pitchers Scott Sanderson and Cy Young award winner Rick Sutcliffe.

I went to an event where Harold Ramis was the speaker, and I got to talk to him for a little afterward.

I sat across from Studs Terkel (not knowing who he was) one day in the doctor's waiting room, and we had a nice conversation.

I would really like to meet Colin Farrell because my friends met him and they said he is such a sweetheart,come to think of it,every single person who met him,the first thing they notcied,is his personality,coz he dosn't think he's better than anyone else,and he's always smilling and making jokes.How cute is that?I like celebrities who are down to earth.
I'd also like to meet Angelina Jolie because she's such an inspirational person with all her charity work.
Of course Jared Leto coz i love his movies and songs!

The Best Celebrities I've Ever Met = Shawn Desman & Kalan Porter

That's so sad for you.

(sorry, that's from forever ago and I didn't bother reading the rest of the thread, but yeah.)

I've met a looooooooooooooot of "celebrities." Most are in bands. The ones I can remember:

-Simple Plan (ew)
-Good Charlotte (ew. But in my defence I called Benji fat and he was right behind me)
-Frank, Mikey & Bob from My Chemical Romance (they randomly walked into a show I was at, it was kind of awesome)
-Sugarcult
-Jade Puget from AFI (in a grocery store, I saw him go into the 'family planning' aisle and I giggled 'cause I'm mature like that)
-Greg Graffin from Bad Religion (THE!!! Greg Graffin! You know, before he looked at naked girls on webcams)
-Bert & Quinn from The Used
-Pete & Patrick from Fall Out Boy (and I totally called Patrick ugly, to his face)
-Tiger Army
-MxPx
-the All American Rejects
-2 guys from Jimmy Eat World and no I can't remember which two anymore
-Nickelback (heh, ew)
-Brandon & Ronnie from The Killers
-Goldfinger (and I see Darrin all the goddamn time considering my boyfriend is friends with him, but he scares me. Oh and that's them in my avatar)
-Sum 41 (and on New Year's Eve I definitely saw Stevo in the mall. and laughed. A lot.)
-Chad from New Found Glory
-William from The Academy Is...
-Nate, Nate &... that other kid who isn't Stephen from Anberlin
-Kris Roe from The Ataris
-Autopilot Off
-Forrest from Hellogoodbye
-Incubus
-Mark & Adam from Taking Back Sunday
-John Rzeznik from Goo Goo Dolls

And I met Will Sasso. And Snake from Degrassi. And Jared Leto.

And I saw Avril Lavigne at a Marilyn Manson concert. (and there are so many things wrong with that sentence I'm almost ashamed to say it.)

And Gene Simmons totally hit on my friend's mom when she was 16.

People from:
Buffy
Angel
FireFly
The Matrix
Harry Potter
original Star Trek
Lord Of The Rings
Roswell
and various other TV shows and films.. loads of people

Think most well known would be:
James Marsters
Elijah Wood
Dominic Monaghan

If it was me i'd take a long run and jump into him for added effect :D :pink: Coorrr Ewan McG :pink: Love him to death!

My best friend from childhood has met him and talks to him often. She moved up to his hometown, Creiff, about 5 years ago. Her dad, who is Scottish, decided he wanted to move back home and closer to his family.. :eek2: Good choice i say! :)

I've met someone semi-famous. Tammin Sursok from Home and Away. But it was when she was promoting her album at a shopping centre close by. It was only by accident that my sister and I found out she was performing there too. We had gone shopping the day before because I needed to look at something that was only at this particular shopping centre. So we were going past HMV and it said that Tammin was going to be there performing and signing albums and singles.

My sister had been a fan of hers since she released her first single, I had never really gotten into it because it was just another soapie star turned pop star. Anyway my sis begged me to take her back the next day and I said I would because my sis had never really been to anything like that before and it was sooo cool! I'm glad I took her. We got up really close to the stage thanx to me (being in a chair does have its advantages). Then the guys that were giving away prizes gave one to me and I wasn't even doing anything because screaming loud for free stuff just doesn't interest me (it was a bag full of cd's which i didn't like but i gave them away as gifts later lol). Then after Tammin sung she was going to sign autographs and the guys got her to come and meet me and my sister first! I couldn't believe it!
She's the nicest girl ever and her voice is amazing!!! We even got a photo with her and she hugged me!!!!!!!!!! She didn't hug my sister though so she wasn't too happy about that lol I was happy for the rest of the day, rubbing it in her face. I didn't even like Tammin that much. Of course now that I know she can sing extremely well live it's changed my opinion of her.
So yea, after getting right up close to see well, getting free cd's, getting an autograph, a hug and a photo, it was definately worth going to see her. I still have the photos and vid of her on my digital camera lol and I show everyone...not as much now though.
