in Chit-Chat
Or even seen for real?
I haven't ever met anybody who is famous. :grumble:
I have a friend who was at a party with David Schwimmer (from "Friends").

I want my 15 seconds of fame!

    I work at a country music festival every year, so actually I have gotten to meet a few people, the nicest one I have met out there was Charlie Daniels.

    I've met Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson. Nick's from Cincinnati and I saw him and Jessica on a boat at my marina for a huge local firework show. Everyone around the dock heard they were there and stopped by. Nick was a pretty cool buy. Signed some autographs and took some pictures with all the girls around. He gave me a beer when I said I didn't want anything, and just said hi. Jessica however, was a complete b!tch. Smoking hot, but complete b!tch.

    I spent an entire day with Bill Cosby. Half a day with Mr. T. I have met John Ratzenburger (Cliff from Cheers) and played music with Jon Bon Jovi. Bill and Jon are Prima Donnas, T and John were very accommodating!

    Tons...while in college, I worked at the House of Blues in Hollywood...so lots of the big stars that performed, as well as their friends. I have to say that my all-time favorite was when working in a s3x shop in LA and I sold "enhancing" herbs to Samuel L. Jackson...true story!

    I work part-time security for local concerts so I have met quite a few musical celebrities. The nicest was Skillet so far. Met Sylvester Stallone when he was in Seattle filming a movie.

    I was down in Syracuse for work and was going out for my grad dinner from a course and we had to wait for our tables because Hilary Clinton was in our area. Well she got up finally and like 10 of us went towards her and her secret service tried to stop us and she said calm down and shook our hands and spoke briefly with us. It was way cool.

    When I was 16 I went to London and stayed at a house that was owned by Natasha and Daniel Beddingfield's father and it was just down the road from their home, so we spent a lot of time with them and their family. (of course, that was before they were famous).
