    I've seen a lot of famous musicians in real life when I was at various concerts.

    ^ This

    Bah! There are no famous people in Canada!

    Ryan Reynolds, Rachael McAdams, Ellen Page, Michael Buble, Michael J Fox, Micheal Myers are all Canucks!

    Ryan Reynolds and my husband have the same aunt --- he is much younger than my husband so he only knew him as his cousin's irritating young cousin.

    Nerdy mom here. I take my kid to Cons so we see a lot of famous people. We were at a smaller Con in June and the celebrities went walkabout when they weren't signing autographs. We saw Tony Todd, Giancarlo Esposito, Tracy Gold, Sylvester McCoy, Erika Eleniak, Chandler Riggs, Wiliam Shatner Burt Young, Dean Cain, Kevin Sorbo, previously met John Barrowman, Marina Sirtis, Alice Cooper, LeVar Burton, George Takei, Nichelle Nicholls and a bunch more I can't remember.

    I think the only famous people I've seen in real life is Josh Duhamel and Fergie and that's only because Josh is from here and they come back every now and then to visit his family.

    I met Vince Vaughn at the Beverly Hilton- he was a great guy and stood and talked to my friends and me for about a half hour. He intoduced himself- "Hi, my name is Vince." He actually came over an introduced himself to me. I didn't want to be a star-f'r so I didn't say anything until he said hello.

    I once walked past Gallager in the St Louis airport. He seemed like he wanted to be recognized.

    I met both Dave Chappelle and REO Speedwagon. I wasn't aware that I met Dave Chappelle until one of my friends pointed him out to me (I was working at a political rally and asked him for his ticket) and I met REO Speedwagon when I was like 5, so I asked one of the band members if he wanted to meet my teddy bear. I'm sure it was adorable.

    Lots of the Star Trek and sci-fi cast at Cons but my favorite was someone you gotta be kinda old like me to know... Amanda Blake (Miss Kitty on Gunsmoke). She was at a western wear store in Gilbert AZ. We were too chicken to walk up and say hi and while in the process of deciding who was going to be brave enough she walked up to us and just started talking to us. She was so nice and about the most friendly person you ever want to meet.
