I shook Ice -T's hand at a Metallica/ GNR concert. His band Body Count opened up for them. He was sitting on the edge of the stage.

Dr. Ian Smith (Celebrity Fit Club; author) - what a GREAT guy!

DannyMussels

Oh ya, I met the guys from 2 Live Crew about 5 years back in college.

I was even up on stage with the girls.

I'd post pics but they violate the rules....................

I didn't actually meet him but in 2007 I was sitting next to Chris Brown (before Rhianna) in Richmond, VA airport and I had no clue who he was even after all the 16 year olds on my flight told me who he was I still had no clue ( they all wanted to know if I touched him). I remember sitting there really ticked off at this kid next to me because he was eating a bag of chips and was brushing his crumbs all over me and for some reason he would not speak to anyone even the people he was with. There was a woman with him I thought may have been his mother and I almost asked her to switch seats with me. Looking back on it I should of know because of all the girls crying (and one asked for his autograph) and the big guy who sat across from us. Oh well I probably still wouldn't know who he was if it happened again, but to my defense I had just flown down to Richmond the 4th time that summer because my father was in the hospital so I hadn't slept much.

He and his mother actually live right up the road from me, and goes to the AFF in Short Pump. My daughter used to work there and he was in there all the time playing basketball.

Got a big ol hug & squeeze from Ivan Moody (Ghost) back when he was in Mötograter. You guys might know him better as the singer for Five Finger Death Punch, now.

Otherwise I haven't really 'met' anyone famous!

RonneyKay

I totally forgot about Screech LOL! He visited my high school because he only lives 20 min from me.

SabrinaJL

Jared Leto.


That's all that matters.

Ugh. My kid is obsessed with him and his band, so for her bday last year, we got her backstage passes to their concert. I actually thought he was kind of a tool.

peachprl

I worked at an outdoor concert venue in Chicago when I was 16 (good Lord 12 years ago!), so I met a lot. Some of the people I met are:
Aerosmith <--- my favorite
NSync (I set off fireworks with them and ate brownies with their bodyguard "Tiny")
Lit
BBMAK
Ozzy
Counting Crows
Blink 182

I am also lucky enough to know the girl who runs the Linkin Park underground, so when I had my first brain tumor they sent me a card with well-wishes and their autographs :-)

SassyCalyGirl

Steven Tyler-have a pic of us together at the Hard Rock Cafe in Puerto Rico
John Waite-one of my fav's from back in the day. I have a pic of him and I too!

My brother dated Carrie from Mythbusters and she hung out at my mothers for a week, but that was way before the show

heresmyinsidevoice

I've met Metallica, The Tragically Hip and the Tea Party.

I went to highschool with Dave Rosin from Hedley. He was in my French 12 class. He acted like he was god's gift to women and was a total brown noser to the teacher. His narcissism was nauseating, LOL!

MacMadame

I ran into Scott Hamilton at MacWorld one year. Robin Williams then came by our booth to chat a few hours later. And one year I got to help Tracy Chapman decide if she should get Quicken of QuickBooks. :laugh:

I've also skated in the same freestyle session as Kristi Yamaguchi and Brian Boitano (but not both at the same time).

hrwinston

I work for a Christian book distributor so I've met some authors - Max Lucado, Travis Thrasher, Karen Kingsbury, had dinner (as a group) with Joe Gibbs (writer, football coach, Nascar owner) and Jerry B. Jenkins, dinner with Cindy Woodsmall (amish fiction). I had a personal lunch with Carolyn Tomlin and Denise George. I also met Kevin Leman and a few others I can't remember at the moment.

Met the music group Alabama when I was a child.

Oh I forgot... when Billy Bean was pitching in the minors, he worked during the off-season for the same company as me. I remember thinking he needed to get a real job because this baseball thing was obviously not happening for him. Just shows what I know! :laugh:

BigRedgw2010

Jenny Craig, what a sweet lady.

giggitygoo

Gosh ... a few!

The entire cast of "Boy Meets World". We were working on the same lot, and got to tour the set on our breaks from filming. I was most excited about meeting the dog. Ha.

Goldie Hawn, worked with her for a few days

Katie Holmes, who was one of the most gracious people ever. We met her at a local mall, and she sneaked back in to the store to buy her friend a pair of shoes that they were eyeing while the friend was in the restroom. Very sweet...pre Tom Cruise.

Travis Barker (of Blink 182 fame) He was a friend of my Dad's back when he was the drummer for "The Aqua Bats"

I almost ran over Susan Sarandon. She just walked in front of moving traffic in Santa Monica. Really bizzare. When people started honking, she stopped in the middle of the road and did the slow wave like the honks were recognition of her fame and not "get out of the road crazy lady!"

Morgan Freeman, at a charity event. He was so handsome and polite in person.

alapoint89

Goldenbast

I met Casper Van Dien in the lobby of the Bellagio hotel/casino in Las Vegas...... literally ran into him and he knocked me on my butt. But I got an autograph so all was cool.

vs1023

I once interned at a NYC radio station for a morning show and got to meet some people:

Sarah ferguson (Duchess of York)
Sarah mclachlan
The bangles

I was working when other celebs were there, but I actually met the ones above and took a picture with them. It was a great experience. I had to take a 4am train though. That was the only sucky part, but worth it.

acstansell

I've met Jared Leto and Eddie Izzard. Gavin Rossdale held my hand at a Bush concert and I have pictures of Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman from Disney world. I also saw Steve Zahn last year in Louisville, Kentucky attending a performance of Les Miserables with his wife and kids.

I've also met the author Jennifer Crusie and the guy who wrote "A child called It." He's a ****.

sosayscyndi

David Cook aka love of my life (besides my husband) Gavin DeGraw (supernice) and Ryan Star
