I think the most "famous" person I've ever met was some news anchor when I was younger. But for the most part I don't really care to anyway. My husband has met a handful of celebrities, though.

ive met several celebrities and singers and they were all really super nice the band 3oh!3 is the nicest guys ive met. hung out w them a couple times. Zachary quinto is really super nice too, hes actully the nicest one out of the heros cast. the girl who plays the cheerleader (Hayden Panettiere) kinda a cunt face in real life though i think shes the only snobby celeb ive met. the boys from super natural are super funny. milo ventamiglia from gilmore girls and heros, is SUPER nice and so cute hes kinda short hes an inch taller than me im 5'6 hes very huggable. couldnt stop hugging him have tons of video footage of me and him being dorks and hugging each other and hanging out w people dressed as storm troopers. lol.

I've had a few, but I hope for many more to come!

My ex-husband's coworker is Nick Wheeler's (from All American Rejects) cousin, so we got to hang out with them backstage before they performed in the DC area a few years back. I only listened to a couple of their songs at the time, but thought it was still awesome to meet them! I got some photos with them, and autographs, and got to split a bagel with Nick, and after the concert Tyson walked past us in nothing but a towel (from out of the showers) holding pink sequined Vans that he wore on stage.

I met the members of a Japanese band called AAA: Attack All Around, and got autographs, lots of hugs and a kiss on the cheek when I attended an anime convention called Otakon, I believe 4 years ago? Also at Otakon I have gotten autographs from a few singers.

I know a singer from a band Geist, which is from my area. I have a few pictures from before she was singing, in the Towson area.

I have a photo with Chiodos (a band) and Coheed and Cambria (also a band) when they played with Linkin Park before they were too popular.

I got autographs from Aerosmith and a band called ZZ Topp (I think that's how you spell it) but I haven't the slightest clue really who the second band is, they were an older group I guess.

Autographs and a picture of me getting my cheek kissed by Tila Tequila.

Not sure if anyone will know who he is, but there is this guy who goes by Little Kuriboh, I have a ton of videos of him and a picture with him from Otakon 2010 (he's an internet celebrity)

I met Cobra Starship and got pictures with Gabe, my ex-husband traded belts with him.

I've met some breakcore artists including Sickboy and Captain Ahab.

And now, the most epic encounter where I didn't actually meet the celebrity...at a Marilyn Manson concert I got smacked in the head with his water bottle when he threw it into the crowd. Heck yes, Marilyn Manson left bruises on me

There are quite a few celebrity chefs I'd love to meet and maybe even train under someday, but I doubt that will happen, at least the second half. ^^;;

I've never met one that was rude. I've met the mini me guy from Austin Powers. I wasn't a huge fan of Austin Powers movies, but it was cool to meet Mini Me. He was super kind and even went out of his way to shake hands with me. I've also met the band Saliva (and had them sign the back of my jeans! Yipee! I never washed those jeans and still have them!) I've seen several bands in concert and met a few, but I haven't really met many celebs besides that. My mom was close friends with a few bands and she had quite the life with them. I remember a couple in particular that she went out with after shows regularly (NO! She is NOT a groupie!) LOL. Jackyl and Super V were a pretty big part of her life while I was growing up. She's also been on Willie Nelson's tour bus! He kissed her on the cheek. My dad tells me the story all the time and pretends to be jealous of the kiss, but they both love being able to say she was kissed on the cheek by him. They're huge fans! They've met a ton of great bands.

Oh yeah I had to mention this: my brother in law was working for some delivery company and ended up making a delivery to Fez from that 70's show! Lol. Ha. Ha. I thought that dude was pretty funny on the show. It's kinda neat that he got to meet him and he gave him a nice tip too.

I have met several celebrities, how can you not when you live in Los Angeles County? I've never felt starstruck though, that's because I have never met anyone that I would consider myself a big fan of. I've actually met several that I didn't like, but they ended up being nice people.

Just musicians after concerts. Aaron Lewis is the nicest guy (He's the lead singer of Staind).

I've met several musicians. Too many to list. My 1st was Billy Squire; my last, so far was Kenny Wayne Shepard.

There were "highlights". David Allen Coe is a real drunken jerk who took the drapes from my gameroom down, poured his whiskey down them and made a "whiskey slide" for himself.

I played craps with Hank Williams Jr., I rolled some winning rolls for him too!
Dick Clark and wife ate dinner at the next table at a casino restaurant. He was a very pleasant man. His wife was very nice as well.

Pat Benatar and I literally ran smack into each other in our travels through a casino. She's a wonderful lady.

Had a fruit juice type of drink that Ringo Starr recommended; he stayed and talked to me while I drank it. He is actually VERY intelligent! Loved talking with him!

I've met many poker and Texas Hold em' stars at the pools of different casinos.

Yes. I have met Barry Williams (Brady Bunch actor he was not that nice), Florence Henderson (Brady Bunch she was sweet as could be), Susan Olsen (Brady Bunch very sweet), Butch Patrick (The Munsters he was a real down to Earth great guy to meet), Tanya Tucker (country singer she was ok) and Micky Dolenz (The Monkees he was a jerk). I was disappointed with Barry & Micky's attitude. Since I was so excited to meet them.

Not an A-lister, but there's a famous bit-actor named Jay Pnewski who lives in my town. I went to school with one of his daughters. Whenever my family sees him on TV we're like, "Oh, look! It's Mr. Pnewski!" XD

I've never met a celebrity, but I do live in a rural non-existant town in Arkansas afterall so there's not much going on here.

I don't know if he counts as a celebrity, but I was once a patient of CNN's medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta.

He was very nice.

A few when I was younger, including Mark Spitz. And some musicians at signings and photo ops and things. It's pretty cool. But like people have said, they're just people for the most part.

I have met some celebrities at Horror Conventions. They were awesome, but of course they are there to meet fans and get money signing stuff, so maybe they are more apt to be nice in those situations. Some have been nicer than others, actually conversing and taking their time. The only time I have been star struck was when meeting Robert Englund. I'm such a huge fan, that I was speechless. He put his arm around me though and commented on my friend's t-shirt, joking about how she was wearing a Tinkerbell shirt to a Horror convention. The only one I met that I didn't particularly care for was William Forsythe. He seemed drunk, and when my man talked to him, he got belligerent, talking about how every one is sick for liking the villains in Horror movies and hating the "good guys". He actually posed for a full body picture and he was bare foot and wearing boxer briefs instead of pants. Not only that, but it looked like the briefs were stained in the front with urine or worse. He was horrible, but it was a humorous thing to watch. Made for a great story to tell.

ZZ Topp?!?! That's awesome. It blows my mind that you don't know who they are. I guess they are an old band, but I'm only 30! You make me feel old! lol

I met Bo Derek, very nice. Kelly LeBrock, snooty, but not terrible. Keifer Sutherland, he is shy, but nice. And Gene Simmons, who was nice but kept trying to look down my shirt.

I had the opportunity to meet Sean Patrick Flanery from "Boondock Saints" and it was awesome! My little brother and his friend had gone with me to a comic convention and by some odd chance they happened to be one of the first in line to get his autograph, so they called me and I ran across the whole building to get there. I got him to sign a picture of the Playgirl cover he was on, and I found out that he graduated from my high school 25 years ago. He was very nice and I took a picture with him.
And I think I might have seen Cedric the Entertainer at a market in New York City.
