[sphericthor]

Of course Wee Man counts, especially since I'm sitting watching Jasckass right now on MTV

[Darrin1]

-I encountered Robin Williams very nice in person.

-Got my autograph from Chris Isaak :D
He looks older in person.

- Saw Richard Chamberlin few years back. He looked very pasty white.:eek:

- Encountered Charo who was incognito w/ sunglasses and all. I tried asking a question and she pretgended not to know what I was talking about.:confused:

- Steven Adler the original drummer of Guns & Roses. He did NOT look good in person.:eek: He was buying a couple of CD's & one of them was G N R "Lies" and he commented that he cant believe that he is buying his own album.

[ambrosia]

I met Jennifer Connolley when they were filming Dark City at Fox Studio's australia a few years back.

[Clark Savage Jr]

I've been to a lot of conventions....so at last count it was about 60 different celebs.

[bjgroves91]

I met Beyonce Knowles at a mall once. She is very rude and wouldn't even sign a picture for me.

[redman]

I was at this show in australia a while back and ray martin (a local journalist) was interviewing mel gibson. I didnt really meet him but it was pretty cool seeing him.

I saw a show called 'before they were stars' and mel gibson had such a strong australian accent and now he has such a strong american accent. How does that work? Can u completely lose ur accent?

Nope doesn't count you they have to be somewhat of a popular person to be a celeb...that is a really sucky celeb to meet Rebecca


I guess he is a celeb, but not someone anyone would wish to meet.

From Jeff

[Onimar Synn]

I don't know if you'd actually call them meetings, since I doubt any of them would recall me, but I've encountered a few famous people. I had a brief conversation with Jerry Sienfeld one time, met the members of Aerosmith, Van Halen, Ted Nugent, and just a whole lot of bands from back in the seventies and eighties. Security used to be really lax at concerts, and with festival seating no one really questioned you if you were hanging around the backstage area before or after a show.

[evilsquishy]

I met someone that looked like Lisa Kudrow. Talked like her too!

[Balrog of Moria]

I want to meet Mike Meyers

[Citizen Kane]

I met Jason Alexander at Universal Studios with a friend and my sister and her girl scout league. He had us do some thing for a TV show he was cooking up, I guess it never panned out.

At the end of this July, I saw Jason Alexander and Martin Short starring in The Producers.

In Santa Barbara I was with my family and we saw Dennis Franz ride by on a bicycle. My dad said hi or waved (don't remember which)

And then apparently once I was in a Disney Store at Disneyland and Ed Asner was there too, but was too grumpy to say hi to people, I was too young to know he he was.

My dad got to shake hands with George W. Bush before he was president.

My grandfather (whom I never met) had met a lot of celebrities, including Walt Disney. I believe my dad said something about being friends with Shirley Temple's older brother, I'll have to ask him.

[JBond]

Eh, I saw Clinton before he was president and Gore when he was running. That's it I think, besides concerts.

My mom saw James Earl Jones at an airport though.

[JeffStacky]

Also, my neighbor's granddaughter is a producer (produced Dumb and Dumber, among other things) and her husband is a writer (Blown Away, Windtalkers) and I've met them both on more than one occasion.

[sphericthor]

I forgot to mention a few people in my previous list but I guess only people in the UK or footbal (soccer) fans will know who I'm talking about.

I saw the entire Bacelona football team 2 weeks ago when they were playing the local team and I shook Ronaldinho's hand.

I have seen the entire Glasgow Celtic team, Manchester United team, met Gary Lineker, Paul Gasgoine and all of this happened in my local area.

Oh and I met Robbie Keane in Dublin

[PsychoMike]

Also kind of met Rod Stewart, driving in my friends mustang and trying to get differant cars to race. We came up to this modified pickup truck with racing decals that kept up with us as we raced down the road. We got to a stop light and I looked over and saw that the guy was Rod Stewart. Talked to him for barely a minute, the next morning I figured it probably wasn't him but was surprised to see on the news that he was actually in town for a soccer game. My friend and I still joke around about how funny it would of been if we cut him off real bad causing him to roll his truck.

The music store I worked at, I encountered, Charo-was in cognito trying NOT to be recognized,Steven Adler-original ex-drummer of Guns & Roses buying "Lies" on CD, saw from afar Richard Chamberlin-he looked like a ghost.

Another music shop that I worked (but I wasnt there...) Ice Cube came in but was in a drunken state.

When I moved to California, Robin Williams came in the store. Actually rang up his CD purchases. Very nice. :D
Chris Isaak also came in twice, I also got an autograph from the man!

[JeffStacky]

YOu totally will not belive this but I swear to god I met Julia Stiles while I was walking down a street in Vancouver....it was sooooooooo awesome...it happened 2 years ago but it was the best day ever...she was on her way to film "A Guy Thing" and was walking with Selma Blair.

I never kissed her or anything but it was just the coolest thing ever to happen to me...not to mention the snowstorm we were in together and the Santa hat I was wearing.

She is so nice in person and he blew me away with how stunning she is in person as well.

I doubt anyone could ever beat this celeb story unless they happened to actually date a star...which noone has ever done.

From Jeff

[JeffStacky]

Really I did!
Why can't you belive me?????

I swear!

I met him too, at Australia zoo (hey it rymes)

I saw him on this interview on TV (Enough Rope with Andrew Denton) where he was acting like a normal person and he's a really kind, decent guy.

He was normal once, before he became famous though.

I saw Rik Mayall (of Bottom and Drop Dead Fred) at a train station. He asked me what time the train was supposed to arrive then tried to go in the women's toilets because he couldn't be bothered to cross the bridge to the male ones, but they were locked so he swore and said he was going for a pee in the bushes. Then when his sons arrived on the train he was wearing silly ears. And his wife hadn't parked the car very well.

[victorious]

[Izzy]

I met david Strathairn when he was shooting a scene from "Limbo" in my neighborhood, for me that was awesome, even though i didn't see much of his movies. I asked him questions about his movies. It was great. He was also the blind guy in "Sneakers" that starred Robert Redford and River Phoenix. And he was the dad in the movie "Girls don't cry, they get even," (crappy movies) maybe except sneakers.
