Did you meet Alex Pettyfer and Diana Argon when they were together? Alex cheated on my friend Katie with Diana, until both of the girls found out about it.

Selena Gomez and the rest of the cast of Wizards of Waverly Place - they made us feel very welcome. George Perles (former Michigan State football coach) offered my daughter his National Chamionship ring (i think that's what it was) a few years ago at a charity event. She was 3 or 4 at the time. He and his wife were super sweet. Denard Robinson - quarterback for University of Michigan and tons of others from the team. Boomer Esiason also - very nice guy.

I met Gabe Saporta, lead singer of Cobra Starship. Met Cassidee of Hey Monday's best friend. She got me and a friend passes to go party with them in their party box...but then Gabe walked by and we had to go meet him. There was no one else around so we chatted for a bit. He was such a sweetie, probably one of the most pleasant people ive ever met. When I asked to take a picture with him he said, "Of course, you don't even have to ask!" He was so nice. And smelled good. also ran into all time low, but not long enough to meet them

I spoke to Robbie Williams on the phone once - does that count?

He pointed at my friend's phone she was holding cause she rang me and held it up so i could hear, and she thought it was being taken off her, but his security took it and gave it to him and he spoke to me and told Auckland to say HI to me etc. I was like what? who? whatever? Hahahahaha oops.

I have to admit I have read through the whole of this thread and have not heard of more people than I have heard of lol, I think that there is a massive divide over who is famous in the US and here. I think that famous should REALLY mean, WORLD famous, and I think Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama win this thread..hands down
