    I've met a lot of 80's and 90's hair bands (Bret Michaels comes to mind). I also met some NASCAR drivers. I met Opie and Anthony from the Opie and Anthony Show. I've met some comedians that go on that show (Jim Norton, Patrice O'Neal, etc). No one TOO exciting though.

    In LA I've encountered:

    Hugh Laurie & Matthew Gray Gubler at the same coffee shop in the same day. (Weird...)
    Alex Trebek attending a performance of Wicked at the Pantages. (I introduced myself to him, he said, "Hi, I'm Alex" and then I awkwardly walked away)
    Mischa Barton (took a portrait which I was excited about!)
    Robert Pattinson, Kristen Bell, Kirsten Dunst, AND Busy Phillips were all at the same Jenny & Johnny show.

    Honestly, I'm surprised I haven't seen more.

    Edited to add: I also took photos of one of Ryan Gosling's band, Dead Man's Bones' shows, a year and a half back. I didn't get to meet him but standing 10 feet away from him was good enough for me :love:

    One more depending on how you define celebrity, but I met Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine outside her first LA show. I was so starstruck, I LOVE HER! :smooched:

    OMG! You are so lucky! I adore Hugh Laurie and Matthew Gray Gubler! Did you get to speak with them? Sigs? I'm hoping to get Hugh's next month, but if not, that's cool too. I got front row fix, so a nice view anyways! lol

    Mainly hockey players, but hello -- I love them! :)

    I met Trevor Linden the night he was first traded from Vancouver. His heart was broken and it was so obvious, but he was such a genuinely nice guy. Love that man.

    I know Emilie Ullerup from Sanctuary; she's been my cousin's best friend for years. Such a nice person, and genuinely the most physically gorgeous woman I've ever seen in person -- sans makeup.

    My grandparents used to own a Italian place when I was a kid and all the old school pro wrestlers would come there and eat all o the time. So, I've met Hulk Hogan, The Crusher, The Iron Sheik, Ricky Steamboat, the Gagne's, Jimmy Snuka, and Dusty Roads. Met Goldberg once too.

    @PrettyLittleK - so jealous you've met One Direction! Are they nice?

    I've met Bowling For Soup, Half of McFly & Gok Wan (think that's it!)

    They are lovely. Got on really well with them. Sat chatting like we were all friends. Was amazing!

    I met Jared Leto at a 30 Seconds to Mars concert. And yes he's even better looking in person.

    I was so nervous getting his autograph and he looks up at me with those gorgeous eyes and says, "How are you doing?" All I could say back was "Uhh....fiiinnne." Then I walked away. Hahaha.


    I've also met Billy Talent (all guys are super nice) and everyone from Our Lady Peace EXCEPT Raine Maida (he was a douche and snuck into their van without signing any autographs, even though there was only 6 of us waiting and we were out in the cold for over 2 hours). The other guys were super nice.

    Oh, and I had a one-night stand with the lead singer of a local band (St Arthur, they'd been getting heaps of airtime on the radio at that time)



    And it was fantastic.

    I was a waitress and got to serve Dog the Bounty Hunter, Beth, Leland, Dwayne, a manager and a few crew. DOG and BETH were the RUDEST people ever. Everyone else was great and exciting to talk to, but those two really tested my patience. I don't care WHO you are, be respectful to your waitstaff!

    1. Jeff Dunham
    2. Catherine Bach ( original Dukes of Hazzard's Daisy)
    3. Carol Duvall

    A friend of mine is a animator at Nicklelodeon and just won an Emmy. I doubt Ernie will become a household name but it's still pretty cool just the same.
