Have you ever met anyone famous?welshwiccan January 16th, 2005, 9:20 pm yes, lots of famous people. I used to first aid and we had to duties at various places where there were crowds, usually footballers Rhinoseri January 16th, 2005, 9:36 pm I've met Emma Watson, but that was before she was famous (We went to the same school in England) She was nice, but I'm not sure if she's changed at all since she got famous, seeing as I, nor her, go to that school anymore. I haven't met anyone super-famous before, other than her. Bloodflowers January 18th, 2005, 4:16 am 1. Who have you met? Agent M, Dominic and Mike-+Tsunami Bomb Greg, Jon and Mat-+Kill Hannah 2. Where/how did you meet them? At shows. 3. What were they like? They were all super nice! SilverStar January 18th, 2005, 4:20 am I have six degrees of separation from the cast of the HP movies. What do you mean by that? you know who! January 18th, 2005, 7:04 am i didnt exactly meet this person but it was close to it... i was chatswood (shopping centre in sydney) and i was eating lunch with my mum and along comes tammin sursok from home and away and she was talking on the phone and shesat down about 3 tables away from us and i was soooo exited (i was like 11 at the time) so i got some paper and a pen and sat there waiting for her to get off the phone and she was taking AGES! she knew i was looking at her cos she said 'some kids staring at me' i was just like gee... thanks so i gave up and walked off and i've also had the misfortune of meeting nikki webster... shes sooo annoying! it was at the christina aguilera concert and she was in front of us in the line to go in and all these litle kids kept coming up to her and she was just loving it! Ana-Magus January 18th, 2005, 8:07 am I have six degrees of separation from the cast of the HP movies. According to the 6 degrees of separation theory, so does everyone else! :D erynae January 18th, 2005, 11:01 am What do you mean by that? The six-degrees theory, or fact, is that everyone in the world knows everyone through six people. In my city (Perth), everyone knows everyone through two people. It's a small world after all... Padfoot112 January 18th, 2005, 9:37 pm I've met 98 Degrees and Jessica Simpson, my Aunt taught Nick in college. I've met Deon Sanders he came to our school to give a speech. I've met wally szerbiak, other than that not too many. snape_sinclaire January 18th, 2005, 9:41 pm My family is close friends with Gloria Arroyo, who is the current president of the Philippines. Whoot!! :) Kaitie January 18th, 2005, 11:31 pm 1. Who have you met? I met Kirk Cameron (the guy who plays Mike Seaver on Growing Pains) and I met some famous Jazz vibraphone player--well he's dead now, isn't it a shame that I met someone famous and can't remember his name? 2. Where/how did you meet them? I met Kirk (my buddy) at an auto show in Pennslyvania about 15 years ago (he was such a hottie) and I met OH his name is Lionel Hampton!! a few years ago at me job...he put on a concert. 3. What were they like? Kirk was a cutie and I wasn't all that impressed with Lionel Hampton--probably because I had not freakin' clue who he was... Sirius' Babi January 20th, 2005, 12:58 am I have met Hugh Grant a while ago when I was "modeling" I say that in a quote because it did not go any where, but my brother was good at it... **sighs** Umm I met him in manhattan when I auditioned for Sleepers .. I think that was the name of the movie... It was about ten years ago... gimme a break.. LOL /* SB *\ owl post 1992 January 30th, 2005, 2:45 am I've met Tom, Tim and Richard from Keane outside the Carling Academy after a concert. Really nice guys now to meet Franz and Snow Patrol. LilyWright January 30th, 2005, 4:17 am I've met a handful of American Politians including Bill Clinton, AL Gore, Chris Heinz, Donald Rumsfield *gag* and a few others. Im somewhat related to a certian politian who's name shall remain secret, as I dont want to be flamed. Ive also met Jake Gyllenhaal.. Funny guy, a little goofy/dorky, but he seems to have the best intentions. Lissy497 January 30th, 2005, 4:21 am 1. Who have you met? I met the actor Jim Caveizel (spelling may be wrong.. so sorry!!) 2. Where/how did you meet them? I was at a pro-life talk in Cleveland with my school. His wife was speaking there, and afterwards he met with all of the school kids that had attended. 3. What were they like? He was amazing. He was extremely humble, and very devoted in his work and beliefs. You could tell that he didn't care all that much about money. He was just amazing :) skistar123 January 31st, 2005, 6:59 pm OMG! My uncle went to that conference thing in Switzerland on Thursday with the Chairman of the company he works for. (Bill Gates, Bono and loads of other people were there) It was something to do with politics blah blah blah blah. Anyway, on Thursday evening, he and some colleuges were in a restaurant and who should be sitting having a meal there but BONO! Most of the people he was with were like HUGE U2 fans, so they went over and talked to him. My uncle was the only one with a camera, however, so he took loads of photos. So when he came to see us on Saturday, he had all these pictures of Bono on he camera! The funny thing is he's not even a U2 fan. Aooarently Bono was really nice though. Becca January 31st, 2005, 11:50 pm Many years ago, when I lived in California, I met Tom Cruise and Nichole Kidman. I was working in a movie theatre, and had a brief conversation with him about his new film that had just come out. (The Firm) I asked for an autograph (I was so young :blush: ) and he signed his name, then passed the paper to Nichole to sign. The problem was, she was not quite as well known then as she is now, and I remember thinking to myself, 'who the heck is she?'. I guess it's a collectors item now that they aren't together anymore. :evil: conquest February 1st, 2005, 12:12 am Well I used to live in Los Angeles and a friend of mine Trevor, is an actor. He's been in the movie Basketball (he played Joey) and he was in the series Frasier he played Frasier's son. Him and his sister were also Michael Douglasses 2 kids in Disclosure. His sister was in a really shortlived tv show called Hiller and Diller on ABC and I met Eugene Levy through that. A few of my other friends in Toronto are friends with the kids from Degrassi the Next Generation. I also met Jennifer Lopez way before she became famous as she lived in my uncles appartment. Yeah thats about it I believe Tonks_Rocks February 5th, 2005, 9:10 am Lets see I met all these people in Hawaii at different times. Regis and Kathy Lee, John Travolta, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Anne Heche, Harrison Ford, and all the actors on Lost. Im telling you go to Hawaii. I have also met Modest Mouse, Moby, David Bowie, The Killers and lots of other bands. My friends dad works for a radio station here in Seattle so we always get free tickets and back stage passes. It rocks. :p wcpotter February 5th, 2005, 2:00 pm I've just met many AFL players. When i was younger one of them brought me a coke and last year for my birthday, my 2 sisters got some of the Eagles boys to sign my birthday card, that was pretty cool. jinxya26 February 7th, 2005, 12:12 am 1. Who have you met? Wes Scantlin from Puddle of Mudd 2. Where/how did you meet them? I work with his son and he came to pick him up a couple of times!! 3. What were they like? He was very nice but quiet JulieWeasley February 7th, 2005, 12:28 am 1. Who have you met? Okay.. I'll say it. Donny Osmond... 2. Where/how did you meet them? I was little... but he was in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat... I saw him outside of the theater. 3. What were they like? He was nice.. I guess. I mean, I was in first grade, so meh. He was kind of smelly though. Maybe because of stage lighting? Sub Zero February 7th, 2005, 2:30 am I met Rosario Dawson (Mel in Josie and the Pussycats..the black girl in Men In Black 2..she was someone in Alexander too..) My dad worked for Federal Express in Manhattan. So he delivered numerous movie scripts/packages to her apartment. She became friendly with my dad and invited us to the private family premiere of Josie and the Pussycats. It was my family and her close friends/relatives. We met her, got her autograph and talked to her a bit. She was very nice. She gave us autographs and we talked for awhile. Actually, my sister had a pen in her bag that she bought for like $1.00 in a store so she liked the pen. So my sister gave it to her. I don't think I met anyone else famous. I think I met Joel Siegal once (the News guy) in Manhattan because once again my dad delivered to his apartment. My dad's delivered to ALOT of famous people including Madonna, Hellen Hunt, Gregory Hines (who's now dead), Todd Zeille (from the NY Mets), and various other random people. HejHej March 7th, 2005, 12:34 am First of all I have to state my jealousy of Piggle_ Humsly! I would so love to meet the LotR cast!!! The only famous people I've met are Minnesota Twins baseball players. My family and I love the Twins, so when we visited Florida we spent a day at their spring training. The more famous ones I got autographs from were AJ Pierzynski (catcher) and Bert Blyleven (former famous pitcher, current broadcaster). Bert was awesomely nice! I almost got Torii Hunter's autograph, but he was surrounded by a huge pack of fans and he had to hurry to get to the next practice, so there wasn't enough time. I also caught a glimpse of Swedish "Idol 2004" winner Daniel Lindström at a mall, though I didn't stand in line to get an autograph. candygirl1616 March 7th, 2005, 12:55 am tiger woods spoke at my high school long time ago, met the govoner once, met a gold medalist swimmer, mickey mouse and other disney charcters at disney world;) i know shane battier-bball player, santa clause...thats about it...or at least all i can think of right now Mad_Druid March 7th, 2005, 2:01 am I met Michael Palin when he came to Melbourne on his last book tour. I pray for any people out there who don't know who he is. [/QUOTE] " We dine well here in Camelot, we eat ham and jam and spam-a-lot!!!" Lovechild March 7th, 2005, 2:08 am I met the guy who wrote the first book on firewalling and a few other famous people in the computer world, but never anyone famous outside of the UNIX world.. I'm a geek and I wish to remain so. Tired_Of_You March 7th, 2005, 2:13 am 1. Who have you met? The Offspring 2. Where/how did you meet them? After their show in Montreal at the Metropolis, I waited outside after the show. 3. What were they like? Super nice. I talked to them and they signed my ticket. I also met actors from Quebec that probably none of you know, so I decided to not mention them. soup potter March 7th, 2005, 7:58 am my old best friends uncle he was going to be nominated for a juno award but he couldn't qualify because he didn't write enough of the songs on his album or somthing. my aunt worked with lurch's(from the adam's family) twin sisters at a bowling alley my grandpa went to school/went out with(i think) natalie wood a movie star from the 60o's or 70's. Padfoot109 March 8th, 2005, 1:18 am i met 2 of the wizard of oz munchkins in myrtle beach, south carolina a few yrs. ago CHPF March 8th, 2005, 3:46 am Yes, my aunt was in an all-girl band in the 70s & 80s. I believe that they were quite famous (for a local band). :D On a more serious note, I have met famous opera singers from the NY Metropolitan Opera (I used to love Opera when I was younger, from my teens to early 20s). I have autographs. :whistle: :scared: Thanks for reading. Potters Goblet March 8th, 2005, 8:34 pm I am related to the Late John Ritter and once when I was 4 years old I actually had the honor of meeting him at a family reunion. Even at that young age it amazed me that a star would have taken time out of his schedule to come to some backwoods barbeque to fellowship with folks he'd probably never met.... I always wanted to "meet" him again. Perhaps someday I will. I also met country singer Neil McCoy in the post office in Longview one day. That was neat. I've met Jerry Van Cook, one of the writers behind the Don Pendleton Pen name. (One of about 20 i think! LOL) Had the chance to study under him. He's a great writer. I met president Bush when he was governor of Texas too. A few other folks but I can't remember them off hand.... MagicPrincess March 8th, 2005, 8:53 pm I have met all the guys in Oasis (Noel & Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell & Alan White)... I go to a lot of their concerts each time they tour and my best friend & I got backstage passes for 2 shows. They are the nicest guys and were really great to us. Very friendly... not at all how the media would have you believe they are! papos_rane March 9th, 2005, 12:38 am amanda borden -1996 US womens olympics,and her autograph QuiniverLuz March 10th, 2005, 6:19 am well... I almost met Oprah once. You see, it was a fairly reliable rumor that she was going to come visit the newly opened (and nude-pig controversial) BBQ Shack. So, on that day-there was no school-I went down there with my sister and some friends at 11:30. Two BBQ sandwiches and 3 1/2 hours later, I left. Oprah never showed. We were so disappointed. I live in a very small town, and I'll bet that by reading this you're getting some sense of how sad and small my life is. Blakeney Green March 10th, 2005, 6:58 am I met Gerald Ford (former US president, not while he was in office,) the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Clinton administration, the members of the band POD (although I didn't realize it was them till a few minutes later when someone told me; I don't really follow their music, but they were very nice :),) authors Madeline L'Engle and Katherine Patterson. I met most of these people through my parents' work, but Gerald Ford and POD were a matter of being in the right place at the right time: The Gerald Ford Museum (when you have a day to kill in Grand Rapids and nothing better to do...) and Salem Massachusetts respectively. I also met Al Gore's daughter at a very minor political function. Um...I got to go backstage at a Great Big Sea concert and meet the band. I'm not sure they're really famous but they're fairly well known and I like their music a lot. :) soup potter March 11th, 2005, 12:48 am yesterday the band Kiros came to my school and gave us a concert i got their autographs, and the lead singer barry said he liked my name!!!!!!!!!!! soundwave March 11th, 2005, 12:57 am When I was interrailing around Europe last year, my friends and I happened to bump into Aliasha Wood in an Irish pub in Prague, he was drunk, we were drunk, it was pretty weird meeting someone famous like that, or anyone famous for the first time. Posed for a photo with him and all, i'll post it if I can find it and someone wants me to. LostMiracle March 12th, 2005, 11:15 am I saw Julian Clary at the pantomime! He was sitting about across the aisle all on his own and refusing to talk to anyone. He seemed to be immune to everyone looking at him. His sister was the fairy in cinderella. It was quite funny actually because it was before he was on Strictly Come Dancing (fellow brits will know what I'm talking about) so no one knew who he was. When the show was aired a couple of months later I was like "I saw him" to my friends but none of them believed me! PaDfOoT567 March 12th, 2005, 8:23 pm 1. Who have you met? I've meet alot of players from the Red Sox. 2. Where/how did you meet them? At Fenway Park, after I caught a foul ball I went to get it signed. 3. What were they like? They were pretty cool. Allemande March 12th, 2005, 9:56 pm 1. Who have you met? Keane 2. Where/how did you meet them? They were being interviewed at a local radio station, and I went down with some of my friends to see them 3. What were they like? SUPER nice! They spent more time talking to the people who'd come to see them than they did on the actual interview bit, and we got pics with them and autographs and everything. ali_singer March 17th, 2005, 2:12 am 1. Who have you met? I've meet alot of players from the Red Sox. 2. Where/how did you meet them? At Fenway Park, after I caught a foul ball I went to get it signed. 3. What were they like? They were pretty cool. OMG you are so lucky. The only famous person I've met is Stephen King. Padfoot_001 March 17th, 2005, 5:42 am What are you talking about? Stephen King is so cool! Creepy, but cool! I met the Umbilical Brothers with my friends after their show. We didn't have a camera so we got in the background of everyone elses' photos with them, just so they they would have to have us as well! I have no idea why we did that, but it was fun! Jyta_Nona March 17th, 2005, 6:16 am 1. Who have you met? a. The guys from the bands Trapt, Smile Empty Soul, and Three Days grace b. Two really great comedians, Gabrial Iglesias and Felipe Esparza c. Dr. James D. Watson, the codiscoverer of the structure of DNA 2. Where/how did you meet them? a. i went to their concert in Orlando. It was awesome and they came and met their fans after the show outside of the venue... which I think was the House of Blues if I remember correctly. b. I saw them perform at the Improv for my 21st birthday! They were hilarious! c. He gave a lecture at the main campus of my University... he was inducted into our Hall of Fame thing. 3. What were they like? a. They were really nice. The lead singer for Smile Empty Soul was flirting with my friend! LoL! They gave everyone autographs and posed for pictures and chatted with everyone! I love the guy from Trapt! w00t! b. They were awesome! Gabriel poked me in the stomach and I took a picture with Felipe! :D c. I didn't get to meet him, but his lecture was great. He has a great sense of humor and very intelligent. He went to college when he was 15! *pout* He was like melting me with his brainpower or something... lol... Toad March 18th, 2005, 7:27 am I once met mayor Susan Fenell at my fathers gallery opening. I din't notice her at all and didn't know it was her until she was mentioned in a speech. The gallery didn't sell much though... I would have preffered to meet the guys from three days grace or sum41 though. ali_singer March 19th, 2005, 2:37 am Stephen King lives in my hometown I go past his house all the time. He's kinda scary but his movies are scary and I love scary movies. BLAUrabe March 19th, 2005, 4:05 am For any football fans out there Carl Eller lives seven houses away from mine. Sometimes when I walk to my bus stop I've seen him picking up after his dogs. goldennib March 19th, 2005, 5:26 pm I met Dr. J (basketball player), the wife of the Eagles coach, I had a class with the brother (a genius) of the spanish student on Welcome Back Cotter (a really old sitcom) Obscure, but I don't get out much, ha ha.

My husband is friends with the Authors Sherman Alexie and Michael Kinsey. Miz March 20th, 2005, 8:37 am I've met Jose Lima, P.O.D, Jamie Foxx, and Jake Gylinhal (Can't spell his last name) I met Jose at a Dodgers' game last year. I met P.O.D when they were walking to their limo after Super Bowl 37 and they asked my family if they could eat with us. I met Jamie and Jake last month at my hometown in California where they were filming their upcoming movie called "Jarhead." Jose was really nice, we talked baseball. P.O.D was really nice also, they really like steak. My family likes their music so nbody felt uncomfortable. Jamie was funny and cool. Jake was laid back which was cool. saltire March 20th, 2005, 12:55 pm I shouted hello to Samuel L Jackson when he was at St Andrews for the Dunhill Links golf last October, and he waved. On the same day my mother in law stopped Sir Steve Redgrave (the 5 times Olympic Medallist) and took his photo, she said he was very nice, but I wasn't paying attention as my husband was pointing out Kevin Costner at the time - although we just waved at him from a distance. Colin Montgomery and Veejay (sp?) Singh, the golfers didn't stop to talk to fans when they came off the course, which was a shame as there were a lot of young kids waiting to meet them. missblack321 March 20th, 2005, 4:33 pm Well, i know this might be hard to believe, but i know the body double of Madamn Pince. The actual actress that played Pince never actually appeared in the film (Chamber of Secrets)! But yeah, i know her. We're friends actually. And i've met the HP illustrator. Oh yeah, i also know a few footballers. I know Kerry Mayo, Gary Hart and Michele Keiper. They're all in the Brighton football team. ali_singer March 21st, 2005, 1:13 am I am SO JEALOUS ali Singer!!!

VallieGirl March 21st, 2005, 11:19 pm Yes Julie Andrews and the Mr.Rogers dude!!!! Da Vinci March 28th, 2005, 1:26 am A mate of mine is going to ask Natalie Portman for an Autograph at the Cannes Film Festival. Uhm, no, I haven't met anyone really famous. But fame is relative. Go to central Africa to the nomads there and ask if they know Keanu Reeves or Harry Potter. They will say 100% surely "NO". They might know, if you're very lucky "Bush" or "Bob Marley". Best wishes, Silvio DaVinci hpindia March 28th, 2005, 1:28 am hi, I am an Indian and live in India I am 15 I had made an Indian Harry Potter fan site to bring together the Indian Harry potter Community. http://www.hpindia.tk Hope u like it! http://www.wnw.magic-host.org/images/cntdn.gif luvstor_hpbooks March 28th, 2005, 1:40 am heaps: The prime minister The Premier The govenor General Frank Heaps of other MPs (member os parliament) Tori form Pepsi live Kaylin Chrissie from big brother Dleta goodrem Dr. Harry Cooper Tim Bailey (the weather man :p ) and one time I saw Peter Everett when I was shopping and he was talking to my mum. cedrics_gurl March 28th, 2005, 5:41 pm ive seen: *rio ferdinand @ manchester airport (i saw the other man u players aswell but i only got a pic with rio) *this isnt really me but my bro met alan shearer + the nufc team when he was mascot for them when he was 6 + weve even got a pic of shearer in his undies lolz :clap: :rotfl: cornish_pixies March 30th, 2005, 3:35 pm I met the whole of Simple Plan at a press conference yesterday (that was awesome). They were all so nice and talked to us individually (omg Chuck has the softest hands *sigh*). Then we stalked Seb back to his hotel and mobbed him there again (somehow I don't think that counts as meeting... he was practically trying to run away). Hmm. I met Nelson Mandela at the lighting or whatever ceremony of the Olympic Torch (Sydney 2000)... I thought it was awesome at the time 'cos I had just finished learning about SA and aparthied, and he was such an influential man to me at that time. Oh, I also met Sarah Brightman at the after-party after her concert. That's about it :) Desraelda March 30th, 2005, 3:45 pm Met Johnny Depp. Used to work for his father.

But everybody knows him where I live. akasha_ishtar April 7th, 2005, 5:14 am I went to school for a short time with Daniel Logan who played Boba Fett in Star Wars Episode 2, he was a realy nice guy and it was a shame I did not know him for a lot longer. For those of you that do not know who Daniel Logan is this is a image of him. LeapinLemurs8 April 8th, 2005, 1:58 am Ah the list! lol I have met Tom Green and Tony hawk when I was a monkey handler for a show episode in the second season of the tom green show... I met The entire cast of the second season American Idol *except paula, she was sick* Including Simon and Randy at a photo shoot for vanity fair. Simon is really nice...

P00tyP00twell April 8th, 2005, 5:05 am I met the Spinners and the Temptations this summer! I was singing with my band in the casino lounge, and they were in the showroom, and they came down to hear my band! And they said hello to me! And shook my hand! Unfortunately, I was the only one in the band who was freaking out about it. I guess not everybody grew up listening to Motown. Oh, and once I sang backup for Paul Anka. He was a bit of a dink. Okay, he was a colossal toe-head. But at least I got to sing on the same stage as Juan de Marcos Gonzales (Buena Vista Social Club) Bebel Gilberto (we sang together on the same microphone *whee!*) and Yuri Bonaventura! There's an excellent chance that if you ever meet me, I'll pull out the photos and show you (I love to show them off)... Oh, and I'm wicked jealous of Desraelda! madaloon April 8th, 2005, 5:33 am 1. Who have you met? The former governor of Colorado, Roy Romer. 2. Where/how did you meet them? When I was 5ish my parents were really involved in politics and went to the governor's house for fancy dinners alot. One time my sister and I came along. All the kids started playing a game of tag. We decided that "that guy" was base. "That guy" turned out to be the governor. I was being chased and ran up and tackled his legs. He didn't fall over, but I'll bet he remembers me. 3. What were they like? He was nice and he laughed about it. I think I got some extra cake or something for my trouble. On a more depressing note, my grandma gave piano lessons to one of the boys who shot the kids at Columbine HS. _hermoine_ April 9th, 2005, 2:08 pm nope, I haven't harrypotter92 April 9th, 2005, 2:38 pm I met Michael Schumacher, the F1 driver, a few years ago. It was in the RDS in Dublin. I didn't actually talk to him, I just got to hold his helmet, which was sweaty from him wearing it when he was go-kart racing, and got a picture with him.

Alan was at a friends (UKTV actor... Who i met through a school friend who's related to him) house. I had no idea who he was, so I was pretty much a fool. I think I said "How do?"... Zebrahead I met at a gig, same with 4ft Fingers. I bought their drummer a pint (Tut tut for underage lager-serving). What were they like? Alan was just... normal. Lol. I didn't really pay him attention, I was just polite and then went upstairs.. The TV actor was really nice. Shocked that I liked 80's music. :) Zebrahead were really nice. During the gig, the guy... Justin? I'm bad with names, kept grabbing my hand and singing like, right into my face, which was odd, but cetrainly cool. The 4ft fingers drummer was AWESOME. He offered me his sticks as payment for the lager, but sme guy grabbed them as he held them out to e and ran off with them. :'( mugglemom1970 April 12th, 2005, 11:31 pm I've met most of the Edmonton Oilers for the last 5-6 years, husbands boss is a part owner plus they regularly give autographs at West Edmonton Mall.

Ben Stiller and Pierce Brosnan. 2. My cousin spotted Ben Stiller's wife in a grocery store on Kauai, Hawaii (the chances!). Pierce Brosnan has a summer home on Kauai, about a quarter mile down the beach on which the family camp my grandparents host is situated. 3. Pretty normal. I think Ben Stiller was trying to avoid attention at the time, but Pierce Brosnan was amused that my cousins and I were so nervous. :) basilisk81 April 21st, 2005, 9:00 pm i met pat sullivan, who was the heisman trophy winning quarterback for the auburn tigers in the 70's. we were watching the sec championship (which auburn was playing in) at a local sports bar when he showed up with his family. gotta be one of the nicest guys i ever met. Mymae April 21st, 2005, 9:06 pm Tori Amos (singer) My husband and I went to her show in Boston on April 12 and she came out before the show and talked to those of us who were waiting in line. She is very down to Earth and gracious. soup potter April 22nd, 2005, 2:33 am My mom played barbies with Cher's daughter in disneyland when she was like 9 Morgan_Circe April 22nd, 2005, 6:45 am I met System of a Down at Tower Records in Glendale, California. When 'Steal This Album" came out on November 26, 2002. They were cool to talk to. Unfortunatly, I didn't get to talk to them very long because there were 480+ people behind me all waiting for their chance. I also saw Brian McKnight (sp?) at the Glendale Galleria. He wouldn't stop to sign autographs, so that was sort of not cool. He didn't even seem to notice us, even though we were right under his nose. Oh well. Susan_Black April 22nd, 2005, 10:33 am I used to go to church with a footballer from the 1940's, nobody remembers him anymore so I don't talk about it much. His name was Billy Liddell and he played for Liverpool, he was an absolutely amazing player, and even though he was very old and had Alzheimer's when I knew him, he was absolutely lovely and I loved him to bits. He used to play penalties with us against the back wall of the church hall, and let us win! He died of Alzheimer's disease on the 3rd of July 2001, and my mum and dad went to his funeral because he was a close family friend, they were in the background on the BBC news report when they carried the coffin out of the church. They said they'd never seen anything like it, it's only a little church, but it was absolutely packed, and there were Liverpool scarves and shirts everywhere, and some old Liverpool players (Ian St John!!!). He used to live over the road from my dad, and on match days, he'd go to work in an office, then get the tram to Anfield with the fans! I didn't know who he was when I was little, he was just 'Billy' or 'Mr Liddell' to me, when I got older, I realised that I was spending 1 day a week in the presence of a legend, so my dad sat me down and told me not to talk about it to anyone, because the family didn't want the press following them round everywhere, and they didn't want the extent of his condition to get out. Anyway, He was a fantastic person and a great footballer, and feel lucky to have known him!! http://www.liverpoolway.co.uk/a-zofplayers/i-l/liddell.jpeghttp://www.lfctoronto.com/images/pictures/gw-and-b-liddel.gif Iceager May 23rd, 2005, 7:55 am Now it occurs to me that I talked to Oksana Baiul (Ukrainian figure skater) for a bit once. I also had a conversation with a famous Korean novelist called Yang Gwija. She's pretty big in Korea, I promise... ItsMagic May 23rd, 2005, 5:29 pm No i havent met anyone famous but my brother met the singer from Franz Ferdinand(if thats how you spell it). He met him at a gig when we saw The Killers. He said he was a v. nice man. Bertha Blotts May 23rd, 2005, 5:47 pm I shook hands with Reagan once, and my Grandpa tried to start a conversation. This was after his presidency, but before his Alzheimer's was announced as serious. He was being pretty closely handled by aids on either side, and he just sort of smiled and nodded vacantly at Grandpa before moving down the line to shake more hands. 'Course, that sounds like ordinary political behavior to me. Pottergoose June 9th, 2005, 5:21 pm Since I live outside NYC I have met many famous people, and I have most of their autographs or photos of them. Ralph Maccio- The karate kid David Arquette Robin Williams Kerry Strug- 1996 Olympics star Gabe Kaplan John Ritter Henry Winkler Whoopi Goldburg The manager of the Beatles- I never remember his name Billy Crystal Ben Stiller DarkSphynx June 9th, 2005, 6:25 pm When I went to the BBC I met the entire BBC News crew (you name someone, I'll have met them). That was pretty cool. I also used to live very very close to the set of Eastenders (a UK soap), the set was literally across the street from me, and I always saw the stars although I was only little at the time so I never really talked to them or anything. I saw whoever plays Pat and whoever plays Ian (sorry for my ignorance) shopping in the supermarket once, and they smiled at me. I thought that was pretty cool. I've yet to meet any Hollywood stars or anything, although I'll probably do my best to get to a few London film premieres later this year/next year. Weatherby June 9th, 2005, 7:17 pm Billy Crystal A co-worker of mine met him. She said he wasn't very nice. I met John Turturro earlier this year. He was amazingly cool. lilly_potter June 9th, 2005, 7:28 pm I met the Hardy Boys of the WWE at a PPV a few years back. Jeff Hardy even gave me his necklace. My grandma used to work at a General Motors manufacturing plant and met Dale Earnhardt Sr. She said he was really nice. Even got her picture with him. Pottergoose June 9th, 2005, 8:26 pm Well he really wasn't Oh yeah I forgot to add Robin Williams- who let me hug him it was SOOOO cool! betSytrOtwOod June 9th, 2005, 9:41 pm she's not that famous but joanna pacitti. she was on broadway as annie for awhile and she was on mtv a few times. her new single will hopefully be coming out soon. her sister is marrying my cousin so we'll be somewhat related soon :) ChristieFish June 9th, 2005, 10:24 pm I met JK Rowling a few years ago. Ah, what a wonderful day!! I was only 11 then, but I still look back on it and glow. If I remember correctly, it was her first American book signing, and it was on the release day of Prisoner of Azkaban. We weren't supposed to talk to her because of time constraints, but I wasn't going to pass up the chance, even though I looked like a moron with my forehead hidden beneath a purple lightning bolt tattoo. She finished signing my book and I blurted out, "Thank you SO MUCH!" to which she replied, "No, thank you!" and pressed the book into my hands. I could have fainted with utter joy. I think I mumbled something about loving her a lot, and she smiled at me, thanking me again. Then I was forced to get out of line by some bookshop employee. Ugh. Anyway, Jo seemed so nice, just genuinely flattered that hundreds of people showed up to see her. I wish I could revisit that day! RedHeadRiot June 9th, 2005, 10:27 pm 1. Who have you met? I went to high school with members of the American rock band Story Of The Year. I also met one of the guys who was in Can't Hardly Wait. He played one of the dorks. I've also met assorted athletes from St. Louis sports teams. I also met the last living munchkin from the wizard of oz. Oddly enough he was having lunch at a place John Goodman owns near me (he went to a neighboring high school.) I've met John Goodman many times. I also met some government people for the state of Missouri. Durring Warped Tour last year I had the pleasure of meeting the guitar player for antiflag and several members of the Casualities. 2. Where/how did you meet them? lol see above^ 3. What were they like? So far I have been lucky and I have really liked everyone I've met. Not all famous people are stuck up. Many of them just want to be treated like normal people. I look forward to makeing many more famous friends (and someday being one myself haha) THE_GRYPHON June 11th, 2005, 12:18 am I saw Jay Leno driving his 1920's Bughatti last week on a California highway! lil fall o rain June 11th, 2005, 12:19 am i've met people who performed in West Side Story at the Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia.

He was really, really nice! Mia_Potter June 11th, 2005, 12:43 am I've met a lot of actors who are on soap operas, because I interned on one soap and then worked as a temp on another. Most are very nice and great people. There are a couple who have let it go to their head IMO. usha June 11th, 2005, 1:52 am I've met several members of Congress (and other local elected officials) and they have all been very cool, very normal. I met Terry McAuliffe when he was DNC chairman, but I was so nervous that I got really drunk and acted like an ***. I have sadly never met anyone hollywood famous, but I'm moving to the UK, where it seems like everyone has met loads of movie stars, so maybe there's hope.... MizRight June 11th, 2005, 2:51 am I saw Jay Leno driving his 1920's Bughatti last week on a California highway! Funny, I saw Jay Leno driving his 1920's Bughatti last week on the CA freeway too. What a kwinki-dink! :p Miles11 June 11th, 2005, 3:07 am I shook Prince Charles hand once when he came to my hometown and attended the opening of a new museum. Seeing as my dad is a curator there, I got to stand in a long line of people and shake his hand. thename_isjon June 11th, 2005, 3:23 am My mom met Julio Iglesias personally, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Heh. I was right there watching, so, I guess that counts? lil fall o rain June 11th, 2005, 3:49 pm thats cool...Julio Iglesias is a great singer.

Garth Brooks, Christian Rock Bands:Hawk Nelson and Falling Up, Christian Rapper:KJ52, and Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini Where have I met them? Garth Brooks: He grew up in the same town I grew up, good ol' Yukon, Oklahoma. and his parents still live here, so I get to see him and talk to him through his and my parents. The Christian Bands at a concert that I got to go backstage and hang out with them before the show. And Kelly and Justin at a Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilara(not that I like them-it was awhile back, when I was easily influenced), and they say a row above us. it was awesome! but they had to come in late and leave early because people were crowding them and making such a big deal out of it that the guards had to close off their section! :( ohh well, it was cool to meet them. What were they like? Well I've known Garth for awhile, he's really cool. Pretty laid back, like a cousin or uncle really. Uhh, the christian rock and rap bands/artists were all pretty nice, I mean they were really down to earth even though some were crazy fun! and I know Justin and Kelly are really nice, even though it was a loud concert and they got sectioned off, so I didn't really get to talk or have fun with them :(. Sybill June 25th, 2005, 3:02 am I was blessed to work at Tower Records on Sunset Blvd. in my 20s. In fact I spent my 21st birthday working there. I left when my husband joined a band that toured Europe a lot and US a few times. I met a lot of wonderful people that are famous and a few jerks that are famous as well. I remember when Jimmy Page came in he was so junked out that he could hardly stand up. My favorite was Robin Williams who was the sweetest person - Oh, and Bette Midler who was a bit of an idol of mine. I remember being so enthralled with EltonJohn that when he came in I was too shy to ask for his autograph and a friend did it for me. Sylvester Stallone was really nice and WOW if anyone knows who Lillian Hellman is, she came in shortly before she died and bought blank tape because her eyesight was going and she wanted to dictate some work into a microphone. I saw John Belushi at the Central, which was right accross the street from Tower, two weeks before he died. I was really sad when I heard that he was gone. I remember Elvis Costello coming into Tower and then again meeting him at the airport when my husband was sharing a flight with him to London a couple of years later. He was very kind to my husband's band when they were there. I was an extra on Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the worst movie you can imagine, and one of the Gibbs were on drums and at every break, he would bum a cigarette off of me as I was right behind him. I also did extra work on The Rose with Bette Midler in the old LA Opera House. There are just so many... I remember Michael Jackson tried to come in once while I was there but someone approached him and he flipped out and left. That was around the time of Thriller, so you could imagine. He is a very shy man and very soft spoken. Luciano Pavarotti did an instore and so did Rodney Dangerfield. Rodney was so nice. Robert Fripp was my favorite instore, however. He just played his guitar at the front of the store and we just got to watch and didn't have to sell anything until he was done. Iggy Pop hung out with us in the back room for about an hour once. I was so impressed with him.There were so many I could just go on and on. CalmLikeABomb June 25th, 2005, 3:07 am 1. Who have you met? Reggie Sanders (baseball player) 2. Where/how did you meet them? At my house, because I once went to school with his daughter. My mom was throwing a house party where all the parents of kids in my grade were invited. 3. What were they like? He was really cool, and he watched baseball on TV with my older brother and I. peachblossom June 25th, 2005, 11:10 pm I went to both Philip Pullmans and Jackie Chans book signings and met them each for a few minutes, but besides that I've never met any famous people. Unless of course I have a really bad memory. simplylisa22 June 25th, 2005, 11:55 pm erm...i think i've met a few others but the one that comes to mind is the entire New Jersey Nets, they stayed at the same hotel as me and we waited in the lobby after the big game we went to and sure enough they came in all at once and i got a bunch of autographs and Jason Kidd was on his cell phone, it was hilarious! he started laughing and he snorts when he laughs it was cool lol! i've also met Steven Jackson which i'm sure few if any of you have ever heard of because he was a rookie in NFL on the Rams ya no but yea he's a sort of hometown hero around here, we LOVE Steven lol Rhysenn June 26th, 2005, 3:11 am Who have you met? Well, I haven't, but my father has. He met Maria Schwarzenegger (Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife) a couple of years ago. Where/how did you meet them? She was up here for the Special Olympics thing and my dad works with Northwest Airlines and he was able to talk to her. (Can't remember exactly what he was doing for the Special Olympics.) What were they like? My father said that she was really nice to talk to. rocketfairy June 28th, 2005, 6:23 pm 1. Who have you met? well im sorta related to Eric sykes, and Kate bush. cool huh? 2. Where/how did you meet them? well Eric is my aunties father in law, and Kate is my second cousins aunt by marrige, hence the sorta related bit 3. What were they like? Well ive not actually met Kate Bush, or if i have i dont remember it, but Eric is really sweet and nice, and has a HUGE house with a nice pool lol. :cool: HBPhysteria June 28th, 2005, 8:03 pm Nobody massively famous. If anyone has seen the show Que Pasa USA, I met the girls that play Carmen and Sharon. Well, they're older now. Sharon has a daughter with my name! (Only spelt differently...oh well). Magdalena June 28th, 2005, 10:26 pm I shook the hand that shook the hand of Martin Short. And my best friend shook the hand that shook the hand that shook the hand of Martin Short. loopdeedoo123 June 28th, 2005, 10:46 pm My friend's aunt's best friend is the mother of Ann Brashares (sp?), author of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series...maybe that counts... ;) MatthewMazer June 28th, 2005, 11:07 pm 1. Who have you met? Ethan Hawke Michael McKean (This is Spinal Tap, SNL, Best in Show, etc.) Daryl Hannah (Most notably Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2) James Earl Jones (Darth Vader voice) 2. Where/how did you meet them? I met Hawke, Hannah, and McKean after a play in NYC, and James Earl Jones after we walked out of restaurant at the same time. 3. What were they like? Classy, I suppose. Michael McKean shook my hand, and Daryl Hannah and Ethan Hawke told me that it was nice to meet...me. James Earl Jones thanked me after I expressed my appreciation for his contributions to the Star Wars movies.

In the late 80's the Natural History Museum of L.A. County did the Hollywood Legend and Reality Exhibit. My Mom and I got to go to the gala party the opening night. It was to honor Jimmy Stewart. He was there with his wife. My Mom saw John Lithgow (3rd Rock From the Sun) and I was some 3 ft away from Mr.Stewart as he gave an interview. Later on there was an opening night for the film The Land Before Time. The preview was at the I-Max theater and the after party was held at the same Museum above. George Lucas was there and I was just inches away from him as he gave an interview. I was in awe and I couldn't speak. house elf 13 June 30th, 2005, 2:31 am Hmm.... Arthur Levine (the US publisher of Harry Potter) dated my roommate when he was a young fellow at college, so we talked about writing a lot and ate dinner together several times.

This was when Blink was just becoming popular and he seemed to enjoy the attention. littleraven73 August 10th, 2005, 4:37 am I've met author Kurt Vonnegut, consumer advocate Ralph Nader and comedian Lewis Black. They were all pretty big highlights for me and I'm a fan of all of the above so I was pretty speechless so to speak.

M_Sinistrari August 10th, 2005, 3:28 pm To preface this, if it hadn't been for family where they were, none of these meetings except the last one would've happened, and I'm not counting the quick 'Hey there' at a convention signing. Since my mother was president of the Christopher Lee International Club back in the day and she'd take me along with her when she'd be acting as club pres., I've managed to meet: Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Roger Moore, Ray Bradbury, Issac Asimov, Robert Bloch (not sure on him since I had to be all of 5yrs old at the time), Charlton Heston, and Elsa Lanchester.
