    Before Jay Leno was on TV on the Tonight Show, a friend of mine and I saw him do a routine at a not so great bar, I think it was called the Back Door. I didn't think he was very funny! As best I can remember, it was the late 70s or early 80s.

    I saw Michael Gambon in a pub once. (He was the Singing Detective and was also Dumbledore in Barry Trotter after Richard Harris died.)

    And Michael Portillo sat next to me on the tube - he has massive bunions!

    I didn't speak to either of them, I wish I had, but you have to be all London about it and act like you're not bothered. Huh :glasses:

    Years ago, my brother and I were at a tattoo parlor and we ran into an oakland-based rapper called Ant Banks. In one of his album covers he has a photo that shows his tattoo "The big badass". I was getting a tattoo also when he was getting that tattoo. It was my brother who recognized him and ask him for his autograph. He signed the bill of my brother's baseball cap.

    I met indie artist Sufjan Stevens and I loove him so I was super starstruck and it was embarrassing because he's not really that into fame, haha. I also just met the drummer for Interpol, Sam Fogarino, and he was realllly nice! I think that's it. I've seen a couple more, like Brady Corbet, around the city but not much else.
  • I met and got to sing with Nathan Osmond!!!! He's Donny and Marie's nephew, he has a show in Waikiki! :)

    I was in a lift with Paul Daniels (British Magician). He's very short and not very funny. Hero moment is when I got Rolf Harris's autograph and he drew me a Rolf-a-roo. Legend.

    in guam (where i an from) i met Carmen Electra. she seemed kind of stuck up. she is very short and plain looking in real life. i was kind of disappointed. hung out with Tommy Davidson (comedian) one night, cool guy. my proudest moment was meeting my hero- chef Jacques Pépin at a food and wine festival in pebble beach. i met a lot of celebrity chefs there as well but he is probably the most well known.
