Met the guy who played Hugo on a country practice (one for the Aussies out there! around '93)

Stayed on a farm in Kununurra (where they filmed the movie Australia) and Hugh and Nicole had drinks around the pool on that farm!!...but I wasn't invited:sad: Hugh Jackman was gorgeous to all , kind, friendly and had time for everyone apparently Nicole was exactly the opposite !

Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith of tears for fears were in my local pub and my son who was nearly three said - OH LOOK mummy golden brown men - really loudly so he was invited to have an orange juice with them - then we met them monthly

Peter Gabriel - who had his recording studios in the village also went to that pub with some of his clients
so I have met many of them

meghan8000

I met the entire cast of Hannah Montana except for Billy Ray, lol. My step daughter got a wish from the make a wish foundation and her wish was to meet Miley Cyrus, and the rest of the cast was there as well. Jason Earles, who played Miley's brother was super nice, but that Emily Osment girl who played Lilly was a BRAT! She kept rolling her eyes at the kids and acting like she had better places to be. Excuse me! Most of these kids wont live to see the age of 30 and you don't have the time to spend 2 hours with them? Sorry, it just made me mad, lol.

I work at the Pittsburgh Penguins arena, so I have met the whole team. Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby are probably the most famous, except last year we had Mike Comrie, who is famous for being married to Hillary Duff (however, I never met her). We get a lot of concerts as well, in passing I saw Larry the Cable Guy, Paul Mccartney, Joey McIntyre, and Lady Gaga, but I did not have a chance to actually talk to any of them, their security is too tight to get very close (especially Mccartney, you can't even walk passed him unless he turns his back to you)
