The other day I walked past Rula Lenska as she was going into a newsagents.
A mate threw a mini-frisbee at Dave (Game Animal) Perry at ECTS while he was chatting to a 'booth-babe'.
When I was little (and you could actually get down Downing Street) I waved at then PM Maggie Thatcher coming out of Number 10 and she waved back (and then stole my milk (probably)).

I met Shigeru Miyamoto, and got my copy of Animal Crossing (Gamecube) signed at an event in London in 2003. Since I was one of the first 15 people in line (#15; talk about lucky), I also got a free signed copy of Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past on GBA as well.
He was scheduled to start signing stuff at 1.00pm. I showed up at 12.00am, 13 hours early, and there were already people there. Apparently, the guy at the front had been there since 1.00pm the previous day. We all had sleeping bags and GBA's. We all had a great time, and the queue built up really fast, despite it being the middle of the night. By morning, we couldn't see the back of the line. When the event started, they had to stop people from joining the line, as there were too many. There must have been at least a thousand.
Here's a picture I found online:
That's just the basement, where the event was held. It's hard to see, but there are people packed all the way to the very back of the floor. The queue wrapped around the whole basement, went up the escalators, out the front doors, and well into the street. I'm actually the guy in the very bottom right of that picture, with the thick coat and short blond hair.
When Miyamoto appeared, he was awesome. He did a little dance when he walked in, and waved to everybody. He greeted everybody when it was their turn, and shook their hand, as well as sign their game. He was supposed to be there for about two hours, but he line was so enormous (there must have been at least a thousand people, had flew from other countries just to see him), he stayed for an extra hour in order to see everybody.
I also met Hideo Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa (lead artist for the MGS series), and had my copy of Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes signed at another London event for the launch of Metal Gear Solid 3.
The guy was a douche. He showed up late, sat down without a word, signed stuff without saying anything, or even smiling, and then left the minute his scheduled time was up, again without saying a word, leaving behind about a hundred people who were still lined up. Security were also really funny about anybody saying anything to him, taking pictures, etc.

My favorite celebrity that I have met is Rivers Cuomo. I met him at the Nintendo World Store! It was a last minute signing, so not that many people showed up. He had some down time so he broke out some stitching. :lol

Haha, funny you should say that. A bunch of us kept in contact for a little bit over AIM after the event, and when that picture started appearing online, she herself was a bit embrassed that that's exactly what it looks like too. :lol It's actually just an unflattering photo taken at an awkward angle. If you look closely, you can see the guy is stood a fair distance in front of her.
I think you'll find that it's the guy behind my shoulder who was looking for a kiss. That's why I myself have such a stern look on my face.
<---- BC about 10 years ago. Was at a book signing and it went way long, I was one of the last people there, talked to him for a good 15 minutes he was in no rush to get out. He sat at a Borders drinking beer all night. He called some girls boyfriend on her cell phone and left him a message. Great guy
and my pure douchey looking picture... and fuck, i look NOTHING like this anymore.

Trent Reznor after a small show in 1990. He was actually really cool. I'm a lifetime NIN fan since late '89 when PHM released.

Yep, that's one of the places I met Miyamoto
I came there four hours before the signing, saw that the line was long but not THAT long, and went out for a walk. Came there an hour later, and the line was suddenly THAT long. It took a good three or four hours from he went in until I finally got my game signed, and during that wait, security told us several times that we probably wouldn't get to him because time was almost up. Several people around me believed them and gave up. Luckily, he decided to sit much longer than planned. And he was still signing things long after I got out of there.I met Henry Winkler on the streets of Manhattan and I made eye-contact and all I could think to do was the Fonz's thumbs-up AAAAA. Well I got one of the dirtiest looks in my life, I also took an elevator with Cindy Crawford in the Revlon Building, didn't even realize it was her until someone pointed her out.

This is one of those topics that always comes around again, so I'll C&P my post from the last thread:
I once got stoned with the original lineup of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
This was at West Virginia University in 1986*. One of the college radio DJs/concert-booker was in my fraternity. One evening I was getting a soda and his door opened and he looked out and saw me. He grabbed me and pulled me into his room. It was dark and thick with marijuana smoke. He introduced me to the band and we all shared a joint before they had to leave for the club. I went early to the show and they autographed something for me. I still have it, though I couldn't find it just now. I remember that Flea signed it, "I fucked your mom 9 months before you were born."
* I couldn't remember the exact year (I saw them twice at the same bar), so I visited the band's wiki page. The random photo of a promotional flyer is from the VERY SAME show I'm talking about! :lol

Sasha - met him at a house party in Miami, was sitting down on a couch chilling and he came over and asked for a light. I almost didn't recognize him, age hasn't been too kind to him. Later went over and asked for a pic.
Tony McGuiness from Above and Beyond - was at Ultra Music Festival 09, saw him walking around during I think Booka Shade's set (?), my friend and I got into a conversation with him, we were talking about NYC and stuff.
Ferry Corsten - met during a few "meet and greet" events, one of the most down to earth people I have ever met.
Mick Foley - haven't actually went up and introduced myself to him, but he lives nearby and I see him occasionally around town.

Pinball Clemens (CFL Football guy): I was trying to sell him an LCD monitor in the Oakville Future Shop when I was filling in.
Stana Katic (Actress): Her sister worked with me, and once when she was visiting her at work, we had a cigarette outside our store.
Red Green (Actor): Bought a computer from my Future Shop in Hamilton.
Joe Satriani (Musician): Saw him perform in Toronto to support the Engines of Creation tour, stood in front of his tour bus while he signed for autographs and posed for pictures.
Hinder (band): Didn't know any of their music, but signed autographs anyway. They were opening for Motley Crue.
Brian Melo (Canadian Idol winner): Signed autographs when the Ancaster Future Shop opened up. Talked to him very briefly in the warehouse where he camped out until he went outside. Even had a posse of bodyguards follow him when he took a piss.
Charles Barkley (NBA Athlete): Met him at a bar in Blue Mountain where he was golfing for the Wayne Gretzky Golf Tournament. Tapped him on the shoulder to say "That's cold, Obi-Wan." (His line in Clerks Animated). He gave me a look like "WTF?" After I explained to him that he said it, he said "Oh, I was in that??" And proceeded to buy my friends and I a round of shots.
Jason Mewes (Actor): He did a solo "An Evening With.." engagement in a small club in Burlington, Ontario. He signed his autograph with "I love pussy."
Cheryl Pounder (Athlete): Worked with her during the Bell Olympic Mall Tour across Southern Ontario
Gordon Ramsay (Celebrity Chef): Book signing in Burlington, Ontario
Anthony Bourdain (TV travel/Celebrity Chef/Author): Book signing recently in Rochester, NY. Thanked me for coming all that way to see him.

Those people who left got burned. But not as badly as the people who arrived before me and left, leaving me to get spot #15. Originally, it was supposed to be the first 10 people who arrived that would get a free signed copy of Link to the Past, and before I arrived, there were two people who showed up and left when they realised they wouldn't get a copy. It was shortly before the event started that they said they'd give copies to the first 15 people, since we had been waiting so long.
Sucks to be the douchebags who left. Who goes to a signing (14 hours early no less) JUST to get a free game? Since getting something else signed and meeting Miyamoto in person wasn't enough of an incentive for them, then I'm glad they lost their free game.

I hung out with Anna Paquin once.
I had a crush on her best friend who worked in the same store i was working in but different departments. After her friend quit we all ended up going out for drinks. I basically ignored Anna the entire time we were in the bar since she was being really annoying and girly while we were playing darts. I didn't realize who she was until she left and a couple of guys rolled up to me in the bar wondering how i knew Anna Paquin.

Saw Alice Cooper and his son's new band a few months back in Phoenix. Shook their hands, congratulated them on their successful professions, that's all.
- My dad was in the Army when I was in 7th grade and worked with/was good friends with Tony Pena's (Baseball Catcher) cousin. We lived in NJ at the time and the Cardinals (Pena's team) were playing the Phillies. I got to go to the game, go in the Cardinals dugout and meet Ozzie Smith, Pedro Guerrero and Tony Pena. They gave me a baseball and all signed it. I also got to play catch with Ozzie Smith and hit a few baseballs with Pena's bat out on the field. Game got a rain delay in the 4th inning and was ultimately postponed.
- Also when I lived in NJ, I was on the 'All-Star' basketball team and we made the regional championship and got to play at the Spectrum a few hours before a Sixers v Bucks match. A handful of players from both teams came out during our practice and talked with us (Barkley wasnt there as he was hurt). Most memorable was getting my picture taken with Manute Bol who was like 7-7 or whatever and I was probably 5-2 at the time.
- Ran into and chatted with Shawn Kemp a few years ago at a small bar in Seattle (he was already out of the league)
- Ran into Captain Lou Albino (RIP) at a rest stop in NJ when traveling with the aforementioned b-ball team to a game. He chatted with our whole team and signed my WWF magazine I bought there.
- At this past year's PAX in Seattle I bumped into the 3 hosts of The Totally Rad Show outside of Pacific Place and talked to them for a bit --- though they arent really celebs.
- 2 American Idols: The beatbox dude who came in 2nd a few years ago, Blake?, he is from the city I live in outside of Seattle and Ive ran into him at the burger joint down the road 3 or 4 times. The other one is the kid from a few years back that Simon said looked like some sort of monkey with the huge eyes and he got a bunch of pub from that. He also lives in the same area as me apparently, I see him waiting at a bus stop down the hill quite a bit and my wife and I have seen him working at Macaroni Grille as a waiter/bus buy and a few weeks ago he was working at the local Target.

Sure they do. It just usually involves bodily harm.
I met two of my favorite horror actors at a convention and fucked up both pictures.
Nice and lovely picture with Doug Bradley until my friend pointed out that even though he was the FIRST guest we met, my armpit was already completely soaked through a black shirt.
Later on was Kane Hodder. I brought a machete for him to sign. I wanted to have a terrified look on my face, but I was so goddamn giddy that he was pressing it against my neck (HARD) that I ended up with a dumbass smile on my face.
Other random celebs I've met:
- Ernest P. Worrell
- Dexter Holland (lead singer of Offspring) in like '94
- Handful of wrestlers (Jericho, Trish, etc.)
- Bunch of horror movie people
- Kerry King (Slayer) talked to me on my friend's cell phone which was one of the most surreal moments of my life
Other random celebs I could/should have met:
- Next door neighbor's cousin is J.K. Simmons. He comes around every year or two.
- Buddy's wife's cousin is Keri Russel
- Buddy's wife's cousin #2 is Kris Draper so they've hung out in the Red Wings locker room after games and shit
- Friend in college was the MTV Fanatic (that old tv show) for Jewel
- Got split up with a buddy at a metal festival and he ended up hanging out back stage for like four hours with Machine Head and some other people

Morten Andersen. He was part of the group I went to Wembley with and watched NFL in October 09. Cool guy but my god he talks a lot...
Stewe Irwin. Met him before one of he famous shows in Australia Zoo back in 06. He shook my hand before the show which resulted in me having a man crush on him for the rest of my trip.

I've met most of the Orlando Magic team. My firm has season tickets with courtside passes (where the Magic come out of the tunnel). So if you get to the arena early enough (or stay late enough), the players will talk to the fans and sign autographs.
I've also met a good amount of FSU (my alma mater) football players. I had Ernie Sims on my XBL friends list, but he removed me a while ago.
Not only does EL own the best forum on the 'net, he can also kick your ass!

I met Garrison Keillor while waiting in line at the St. Paul International Airport. We had a brief conversation (can it even be called that?) about how much I love the Prairie Home Companion and what I major in. He's as mild mannered, warm, and generous as I expected him to be.

Met Lars ulrich at a alice in chains/stone sour concert. He was standing alone and people were all looking at him, scared to say anything so I went over to him and talked to him for a while. Surprisngly nice guy and I was really surprised to see him just standing in the back of the crowd.
Less celebs I have met and talked to everyone in the dillinger escape plan, raunchy and enter shikari. I also shook hands with Bill Clinton when he was here this year (or late last year...), I didn't own his book or anything but I saw him when leaving the store.
In my dreams I had sex with Kristen bell and Sarah Chalke, many times.
Edit : Forgot Rudi Völler when I was little. I got a picture my parents took of him holding me at training and me crying my heart out. :lol

Family:
My Aunt is a daughter of the owner of one of the largest newspapers in Pakistan.
My other Aunt is a daughter of some folks in the Pakistani military.
So I get most of the news concerning Pakistan from them...
My aunt lives in Canada. She's a nurse.
My other aunt lives in Florida, and her mom (my grandma) also lives there. So I pretty much have direct access to whatever's going on in their town. But I don't ever ask them about it.
Seriously, your post...wtf?
This reminded me of a cousin of mine that toured John Glenn around the football stadium he worked at, right after his 1998 space shuttle flight.

Back in 94, my mom worked for a dentist and his son was the camera dolly operator on the set of Dr. Quinn (I know).
We got to watch them film some scenes and got to meet the cast. Highlight was when my brother, the producer and Shaun Toovey (the young kid) got in a snow cone snowball fight.
I met Bubba Paris (49ers OL men from the 80s) at an Awanis event.

Was standing in line at a taco place on south beach, turned around and Lenny Kravitz was behind me. I told my friend who thought I was joking and screamed "I hate that guy" right in his face....
When I was a kid, I met Shaq when he played in Orlando. Was walking to the Downtown Public Library with my mom and he got out at a lawyer's office across the street. I was freaking out and went up and shook his hand and said "Thank you, Mr. O'Neal." He responded, "Don't call me Mr., it makes me feel old." This was of course when he was like 22 or 23. Highlight of my life at that point in time.
Got to hang out for a night with Bruce Campbell after a screening that was done at FSU's movie theatre. Funny, funny guy. Very down to earth.
Played pingpong/hung out at a BBQ with Mark Tremonti and a few of the other guys from Creed/Alter Bridge (no Stapp fortunately). Also hung out some with Johnny Damon at a Creed concert. My bro is good friends with Mark so he's been able to do a lot of stuff with them over the years and I got to tag along a few times.
My brothers were batboys for the Orlando Sunrays/Rays when we were younger so we got to sit with the players' wives and scouts at games. I got to meet a lot of the players on the team and other teams over the years including Frank Thomas, Chuck Knoblauch, etc.
My cousin was a ballboy for the Magic so I got to meet a bunch of Magic players too but I was quite young. My hero was Dennis Scott since I was pretty pudgey and could shoot the 3... he was the biggest dick in the world.
I've met musicians after shows and stuff and had some classes, etc. with FSU players but I haven't really bumped into too many celebs on the street outside of Shaq that one time. Almost forgot, I used to play Halo with Brodrick Bunkley a lot back when we were at FSU. I didn't even know it was him originally.. he was just "Brod." Blew my mind when it clicked.

My grandma knew someone in the Magic organization when Shaq played there. She got a ball signed by the whole team. This was around when Shaq broke his thumb, so he traced an outline of his splint next to his signature.Meier said:
My grandma (who is seriously 100% certifiably insane) proceeded to take her own marker and write "HA HA HA" with an arrow pointing towards his sig. I tried to sell it back before the internet really took off and no trading card store wanted anything to do with it.

I met Angelina Jolie at the benihanas in bevery hills, CA on mothersday 2003. I brushed my hand across her butt when I hugged her, haven't showered since.
