    Wade Boggs when i was a child in a sports store with my mom shopping for something for a gift for my dad.

    I saw him all the time riding his stupid purple dune buggy when I was growing up. He was kind of a jerk.

    Oh! I forgot my favorite story. I didn't actually meet him, but Justin Timberlake flew in to the little tiny airport where my dad and I fly. He was walking through the building and the lady who mans the radio whispers to my dad "That's Justin Timberlake." And my dad, who has no inside voice says "Who's Justin Timberlake?" JT turned around and looked at him. I almost peed my pants laughing.

    I met Beyonce Knowles back when she was part of Destiny's Child. She was sweet, her friends, snobby.

    James Best. He's really tall and very personable. We own a few of his paintings.

    James Gandofini- I met him in a New Orleans strip club. I chuckled because he's exactly what I would have thought.
    Ron Jeremy- met him at a bar. Really this is not one to be proud of

    Dan O Brien (triathlete and of Dan and Dave Nike commercials)- I interviewed him for school newspaper in 8th grade.

    Christopher Walken, while I was sitting at a 7-11 filling up my car. He pulled in behind me, winked, and started to fill his car up. Of course I was an idiot and asked him what his favorite movie line was. He did this little prance thing and said, "Forget about it." and I almost died. He was wearing pajama pants and I may have fallen in love with him in that minute. He drove away and I hated myself for a week for not asking for a picture or something.

    I'm thinking you mean other than hanging outside a stage door. Ben Vereen was on a park bench once in NYC, on his phone. we waited politely until he was through and had a terrific conversation with him.

    And I guess Abby from Dance Mom's doesn't count either. I used to teach for her. she's my pal.

    Have met quite a few, growing up in the Caribbean does that for you as they all like to vacation somewhere warm! These are all the ones I have interacted with. I was a golf teaching professional for 5 years and caddied in pro tournaments so I know a bunch of golfers.

    Lived next to Paul McCartney in Jamaica when I was a kid
    Ringo Starr, had dinner with him at friend's house.
    Larry Gatlin (Gatlin Brothers)
    Randy Travis
    Lyle Lovett (before he was famous) really cool guy. Would hang out with us and play guitar in the evenings when he wasn't playing.
    VInce Neil
    Tommy Lee
    Heather Locklear
    Richie Sambora

    Heather was married to Tommy at the time, but Richie and others were down with Motley Crue on holiday in Grand Cayman. Maybe that is where Richie and her hooked up!

    Brian May (Queen baby!) Righteous dude!
    Nigel Mansel (F1 and Indy Car Driver, came on island after his big wreck.)
    Barry Bonds - used to caddy in his group at Bear Creek in Murrieta California
    Tim Herron - good drinking partner
    Tom Lehman
    Gene Hackman - I was in a scene of the movie The Firm and I had the opportunity to sit with him and his wife at the dinner break.
    Ed Harris (he was in Cayman for the Firm, awesome guy)
    Michael Williams ex NBA holds the record for consecutive Free Throws made. Taught him golf briefly before he went back to San Antonio.

    Those are the ones that stood out for me.

    Frank Thomas - shook hands with him at a Birmingham Baron's game before he went pro (his hand went to my elbow)

    A.J. Green - (lakers bball) shook his hand as well, might have been bigger than he big hurt's hand

    Mike Gordon - bassist for Phish (he would ride around in a golf cart before shows)

    Nick Faldo - saw him at about 6am in the Austin Airport restroom, I was fan boy and he looked hungover :P

    Nolan Ryan - bumped into him (chest to chest) before the Rangers played the Express, all I said was "Nolan Ryan"... as if he doesn't already know his own name - he said "good to see ya buddy" and patted me on the shoulder

    Think I'm forgetting some, but my memory doesn't work on demand.

    I saw Mark Cuban at a mall not too long ago. He was significantly taller (my husband is 6'4" so somewhere around that height) and actually thinner than I was expecting.

    Chevy Chase-in NYC at this bar in the village I went to for happy hour after work one day. He was sitting with a group of people eating tapas.

    Blake Lively, Leighton meester, and Chace Crawford from Gossip girl. -I was on my way home from work walking to the train and they were filming a scene.

    Uma Thurman-shopping at Balducci's in NYC. She's very very tall and slim IRL..even more so than she appears on screen.

    Julia Stiles-on the train stopping at Columbus circle in NYC. I didn't think it was her at first because why would a celebrity take the train? But it was and she was very down to Earth and friendly.

    Sarah Jessica Parker-walking her dog in Chelsea (NYC).

    The Backstreet Boys-backstage at their concert in Tampa Florida in 1998. Shut up don't judge me. BSB 4 eva :blushing:

    i created a marriage certificate for marina sirtis and johnathan frakes, and had michael dorn and gates mcfadden sign as witnesses. i also got to talk to denise crosby for a bit.

    i have a really cute selfie with james marsters *drool*.

    These are all on my list... I go to a lot of conventions and a whole crapton of concerts and shows, so I have met a LOT of famous people....

    Probably my top people I have met, a bit outside of that realm:

    President Bill Clinton - GOTV Rally in 2010.
    Jason Taylor (Defensive End, Miami Dolphins) - Same year, different rally
    George R. R. Martin - Book Signing
    Rob Halford (Lead singer of Judas Priest) - used to have coffee with him!

    And my two fangirl moments where I couldn't breathe, and probably made an *kitten* out of myself:

    Robert Smith
    John Barrowman

    Some guy that turned out NOT to be Andre Agassi, altho I still have my suspicions
    Alan Alda
    John Legend about a year ago, although I didn't know it was him until someone told me. I still didn't know, but shook his hand anyway. Now, of course, I know who he is.
    Had beers with Brutus the Barber Beefcake, Tatanka, Luke Bushwacker and some other totally stoned guy
    Was Rowdy Roddy Piper's chauffeur and body guard for a small wrestling event. He called my brother on the phone. Cool guy!
    A bunch of other older actors that I didn't really even know, models too, used to come in to a store I worked at when I was a teenager
