    Just a few I can think of off the top of my head...

    Wayne Gretzky
    Adrian Peterson
    Prince
    Derek Boogaard *RIP*
    Mike Vitar (benny from sandlot)
    Nick Swardson
    Adam Sandler
    David Spade
    Mike Modano
    Kevin Gates
    Warren G
    and the best one yet...Snoop Dogg


    Snoop Dogg would be a blast to hang with, I think.

    it was probably the best day of my life

    I am amazed you can remember it! :D

    most parts anyway...but everything else i was told. Like how I begged him to give me a piggy back ride to the bathroom.

    I met Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, with their daughters at a summer camp for wealthy teens in New York State. I worked there over a summer. Demi Moore was super nice and fairly friendly, but Bruce Willis holed himself up to meditate and read in a field with his bodyguards around him and didn't talk to anyone. Their daughter Rumer was one of the loneliest young teens I had ever seen :(

    I sold R. Kelly a hat back when I was in college. He and his entourage came into the mall where I worked. He didn't try to pee on any of the girls that worked there so I guess it all went well.

    BRUCE WILLIS. I met Bruce Willis at a local bar. He came in and sang Karaoke a lot for like a solid year after he bought a house on my lake. I looooooved him!

    I met Junior Seau (may he eeat in peace).

    I've met a bunch of NASCAR drivers.

    Pharrell Williams I've bumped into several times. Had drinks with him (he's from Virginia Beach, which is where I grew up). He used to date my sisters best friend before he got famous.

    Sammy Hagar - wanted nothing more than to talk about Jesus and if I had opened up my heart to his love (this was my first rockstar experience and I was not prepared for this)

    George Clinton - chillest dude in the history of mankind - I got to play trumpet with the P-Funk in an free jazz moment backstage pre-show

    RZA - sat and talked Kung-Fu classic movies for hours

    Willem Dafoe - at a bar in St. Martin when he was filming Speed 2. Really nice guy and bought my team many rounds of drinks.

    Dwayne Johnson - nicest celebrity ever. Truly devoted to his fans and was the only star to show up at a GI Joe con when the film was delayed. He flew in while shooting another film (Hercules?) just so he wouldn't disappoint fans. Most didn't know he was coming so there were only a few people waiting and no press.

    George Strait - Met him when he was dropping a truck off for service at a car dealership. Very nice man.
    Dennis Rodman - Met him on two occasions, once at a mall and once at a night club. Very nice both times
    The Band Journey - Met the band before a show in Austin Tx for about 45-50 seconds at a meet-n-greet. All nice

    At comic cons... John Barrowman (looked very stressed and rushed), Tom Hiddleston and Stephen Amell - both extremely nice and took the time to chat with everyone (and so gorgeous). Of course I did pay to met them, so there's that. Still awesome.

    I usually leave celebrities alone but I jumped when the mountain from game of thrones was standing behind me and reached over me to get a protein shake.. giving me a minor heart attack.

    Later I held open a door for him when he was carrying a lot of stuff. He laughed then as well (probably thinking why in the world this tiny 5'2 chick was holding the door for one of the world's strongest man)

    He also shops at the same supermarket I do.. and he hands me the stuff from the top shelfs I can't reach.

    Ugh!!! This is so cool :)

    Kip Winger was really good friends with my ex-boyfriend's brother (we all grew up & went to same school) so he was a regular in the household! He was super nice and funny! He was a lot older than me (9 or 10 years) so I would never had met him otherwise.
    Does he count as a celebrity??
