    i used to work in a whole foods on beacon hill in boston..any time any celebrities were in town filming [boston is like mini LA now i suppose] id end up meeting them..

    i rang in christopher walkens groceries once. manny rameriz came in constantly when he was still playing for the sox.. rang in mark ruffalo from eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. cameron diaz came in once. giselle and tom brady were in on more than once occasion.

    my friends cousin is also the singer in the band ok go.. theyre not ultra famous but they have that music video that was number 1 on youtube before lady gaga came around of the band doing a dance on a bunch of treadmills. so, ive met all of them numerous times even camped with them up in new hampshire a few summers ago!

    i think thats it for 'famous' encounters!

    1. TONS of MMA fighters. (I'm a huge MMA fan. I've travelled to quite a few UFC and other MMA shows all over the country and have met and gotten pictures with dozens of different MMA fighters.)

    2. Quite a few musicians. Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, members of NOFX, Rancid, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, Less than Jake, etc.

    3. Tom Green. (He was just standing outside a gas station in my hometown. I later found out that he was traveling with a skateboard team that was doing a demo in town.)

    I met the entire cast of Hannah Montana except for Billy Ray, lol. My step daughter got a wish from the make a wish foundation and her wish was to meet Miley Cyrus, and the rest of the cast was there as well. Jason Earles, who played Miley's brother was super nice, but that Emily Osment girl who played Lilly was a BRAT! She kept rolling her eyes at the kids and acting like she had better places to be. Excuse me! Most of these kids wont live to see the age of 30 and you don't have the time to spend 2 hours with them? Sorry, it just made me mad, lol.

    I work at the Pittsburgh Penguins arena, so I have met the whole team. Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby are probably the most famous, except last year we had Mike Comrie, who is famous for being married to Hillary Duff (however, I never met her). We get a lot of concerts as well, in passing I saw Larry the Cable Guy, Paul Mccartney, Joey McIntyre, and Lady Gaga, but I did not have a chance to actually talk to any of them, their security is too tight to get very close (especially Mccartney, you can't even walk passed him unless he turns his back to you)
