    I waved at Princess Diana as she rolled by in a procession in my hometown.

    I watched as my classmates mobbed the stage at our school when Peter Andre performed.

    And I hugged one of my favorite rappers, Spose, last year at Hell's Kitchen.

    I've been blessed to meet quite a few famous athletes, music artists and actors/actresses but think the most famous would be Will Smith. He was in town for his movie premier of "The Pursuit of Happyness" and we were covering the event.

    I worked for 3 years, and sat and had intelligent conversation at lunch countless times with the father of the frontman for a band called Godsmack....

    I also went to high school with the (just for the commercial) balled guy in the newer pistachio commercial. He also got punked by J-lo and Ellen Degeneres on her show a while back when J-Lo posed as looking for a personal assistant. The video can be found on youtube. His name is Scott Ruggles. He's an awesome guy.

    Those videos that start off doing what you looked for and then switch to a zombie or scary something or another popping up on the screen. Not scary, and overdone... buh bye now lol

    I don't pay too much attention to celebrities. We've had two come into our store... both times I had NO IDEA.

    BUT this one time one of the members of Glass Tiger came in. I was freaking out. Recognized HIM immediately. I was all: AAAHHHH! Flirted my butt of and when he left I was gushing to my coworkers and they were like: "Who?"

    *glowers at coworkers*

    They can recognize some contestant from some stupid reality show but they can't recognize a freaking Canadian musician. *shaking my head* So disappointing.

    I LOVED Glass Tiger in the 80s!!

    Just remembered that I met The Rembrandts, too. :)

    And Seth MacFarlane bought my friend and me each a drink once.

    (I used to live in Hollywood, BTW, so I've seen but not met countless other celebrities. My husband has also met Colin Farrell and has worked on numerous celebrity homes, including Barbra Streisand's)

    Elijah Wood.

    My sister and some friends and I went to the Laugh Factory in Cali on the night of her bachelorette party, and made her wear a ridiculous outfit to get put in the front row so the comedians would tease her. (Which they did.) When it was over, we discovered Elijah Wood had been there when he came up and congratulated my sister on her upcoming wedding and gave us all hugs. :) Such a nice guy, and not at all short. ;)

    The mere fact that they were in MY town says they've hit rock bottom but whatever. I still love them.

    I have never met anyone famous, because no one ever comes to my city except for concerts. (Justin Beiber came a while back and half the city shat bricks :noway:).

    However, my uncle almost got shot down as a kid because he ran up to the queen of England and touched her. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I used to work as a talk show host for a small market AM news/talk radio station and occaisonally did "celebrity" interviews. Singer Janis Ian, Eric Burdon of the Animals, Denny Hastert when he was Speaker of the House, author Arthur Golden, (Memoirs of a Geisha) and Food Network host, Sandra Lee.

    I met Bob Schieffer at a party and was able to chat with him for quite a while about broadcast journalism. That was pretty cool.
