Nickolas and Lucky from General Hospital. It was a meet and greet at a restaurant show. They were at their limo at the end of the night and I asked if they wanted to get drinks at a bar. Obviously, they said no.

Let's see Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, Diane Keating, Montel Williams, Carrot Top, Sinbad, Deepak Chopra, Chantal Kreviazuk, Barenaked Ladies, Train and a ton of athletes. I am sure there are some I am missing as well.

I worked at a hotel in Whistler for many years which is how I met 95% of the above.

I've shaken Hillary Clinton's hand. For some unknown reason, she and Bill visited my home state back in like 1996 (seriously, small podunk town). My sister introduced Hillary (she was in high school), and afterwards my sister got hugged, and my entire family got their hands shaken.

BethKate2 · February 2014

My H and I go to a lot of autograph signings, so I've met a few athletes that way. We've met David Ortiz and Jason Varitek from the Red Sox, Rob Gronkowski from the Patriots, and Zdeno Chara from the Bruins.

We're also big Boondock Saints fans, so we've been to local events they've had. We've met the director, Troy Duffy, and the main actors Sean Patrick Flannery and Norman Reedus (who, of course, is SO much more famous now!) twice.

Here's a picture, for good measure. This was in 2009.

Mine is nowhere near as fun as everyone else's...

If anyone saw Sharknado I know a guy in that. He was my date to a dance one year in high school.

luciddreamer106 · February 2014

I've seen many celebrities IRL, but haven't really met any. I went to Girl Scout camp with the little girl from Beethoven right after it had came out and that made my little girl heart very happy.

ETA: I forgot some athletes that I've met. When I was a waitress in Milwaukee, we would get baseball players in fairly often. I've waited on Prince Fielder, another player that I don't remember his name, and a table of 3 Cardinals players. I was often clueless to who it was until my co-workers would get all excited and tell me.

rubysi · February 2014

I sold furniture in marin county (just north of SF) I met Sean Penn, George Lucas, James Hatfield, Robert Redford, Huey Lewis, Sharon Stone.

When I was a kid I met(my dad is a musician and I met them while he was working) Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn, Reba MacIntyre,

My friend was a band promoter when I was in my teens. I met Fugazi, Plaid Retna, Angry Samoans, The Dwarves.

I am sure I am forgetting some.

I'm distantly related to Elvis on my dad's mom's side. Does that count since I've never met anyone famous?

lindsebert · February 2014

Not a big deal, but Tom Arnold several times. He's from my hometown.

BJ Armstrong and Bobby Hanson from the Chicago Bulls. I got to wear their championship rings.

I went to school at Iowa and became friends with several football players that are now in the NFL - Dallas Clark, Bradley Fletcher, Chad Greenway, and Nate Kaeding.

kflynn81 · February 2014

Considering I worked in the ritzy high rises of downtown Chicago for five years, I dont have too many interesting people. A lot of them were local celebrities that no one would know of. Although the presidents senior advisor David Axelrod lived at one place I worked. Never met him, but met knew his wife pretty well. I helped get work orders for clogged toilets

However, if you're a football fan, I DID meet Tom Thayer ( he lived in one building I managed) and Mike Tomczak (visiting Tom).

I also met Angela Bassett when the ER crew was filming near where I worked. They used our commercial space for a full cast and crew luncheon and we were invited. John Stamos was SUPPOSED to be there that day. I got alllll hoochied out for work and then he ended up not showing. Major disappointment.

chaysefaith · February 2014

Oh! And my bf is a HUGE sports memorabilia collector. I've gone to several autograph signings with him, as well as a few without him while he was deployed. The only names I could drop from those would be the ones I could remembers and only Chicago sports fans would probably recognize them.

KMW08 · February 2014

I never really "met" them, but have encountered/saw/smiled/nodded at:

Carl Edwards (nascar driver) was jogging in a park that I was at one morning. We were both getting in our cars to leave when I realized why he looked so familiar! I think he's more attractive in person than in pics or on tv.

Also Lucas Black. He was in a few movies, fast & furious tokyo, Friday night lights, jarhead. He's short & really thin.

Christian cant.well, he's a 2012 Olympian shot putter.

Chase Coffman, pro nfl player now, met him when played for MIZZOU.

And Gary Pinkel, head MIZZOU football coach.

dajhughes · February 2014

I ran into Cuba Gooding Jr...literally...he ran into me as I was exiting a hotel elevatator and he was running to get away from a mob of fans. He grabbed my hand and said "oh I am so sorry darlin" and I just stood there with my mouth open.

kbedfox · February 2014

I met the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato but didn't really know who they were at the time. My friend won backstage passes and I tagged along to their concert. Also Ben Folds (he's an ass), Andrew McMahon from Jack's Mannequin, Matt Nathanson, Lee Brice, Joaquim Noah and a few other Bulls players, Dule Hill, Sarah Palin and John McCain while I was in college.

I just met Keith Urban, Little Big Town, and Dustin Lynch like 2 months ago when I won front row seats, still swooning over that.

Oh and my favorite, Gio Gonzalez, pitcher for the Nationals and my pretend boyfriend.

I did some modeling for a liquor company years ago and I worked as a show model for a celebrity golf outing. I drove Michael Strahan around in a golf cart and we did photo shoots together and at the same event I met Hugh Hefner. Michael was amazing and super sweet and gave anyone who asked his autoraph and Hugh Hefner was uglier than ugly and his fake hair kept flying up and off his head when it got windy.

katib77 · February 2014

I met Alex Tribeck and Vern Toyer (mini me from the Austin Powers movies) at NATPE 2000, it's a convention for television program execs that I was an intern for my senior year in college. Also there that I saw from afar Will & Grace, Martha Stewart, and Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson. I tried to get close to Josh *swoon* but so was every other young lady. Said "Hey" to Hal Sparks (if you even know who he is).

While there I had an encounter with Louie Anderson, I won't say I "met" him since there was no introductions. As interns we were low minions in his mind, he treated us like dirt. I've since never liked the man.

And I saw Tom Hanks when he was filming Road to Perdition near my town.

libby+nate · February 2014

I got to shake President Obama's hand when he was running for his first election and came to El Dorado, KS where his maternal grandmother lived. He ate chili cheese fries with all of us college students and made his security detail stay outside.

heathersf11 · February 2014

I was a seat filler at the teen choice awards around 2001, so I got to see a bunch of people but I didn't really talk to or meet anyone. I sat behind Katherine Heigl.

jenkellen · February 2014

My husband works in motorsports so I've met McDreamy a few times. Couple pro basketball and baseball players.

MoreThanSparrows08 · February 2014

I am apparently related to Dennis Quaid - never met the guy though...

carlsonbaby2014 · February 2014

I met Princess Diana in 1992, Bill Clinton in 1998, and Jane Goodall in the mid-1990s.

RustyGirl3 · February 2014

A lot of these were because of a movie that my Uncle made in 2004. It was called Dirty Deeds. My Dad, my niece and I were extras and it was awesome.

Wayne Gretsky, Jason Giambi, Mike Piazza, David Wright, Milo Ventimiglia, Zoe Saldana, Lacey Chabert, Todd Ziele, Kenny G, Richie Sambora, Kathleen Turner, Jason Biggs, Jamie Lynn Sigler, Marcus Foster, Bobby Long, Sarah Michelle Gellar, a few soap opera people.

My favorite would have to be Charles Durning...RIP

chaysefaith · February 2014

@natsfan84 I'm so jealous that you met Joakim Noah! He's one Chicago sports player I haven't met and I'm dying to meet him! And your pretend boyfriend is a pitcher for the Nationals...my daughters future husband is a pitcher for the White Sox, Chris Sale!

Yasm33na · February 2014

The entire NJ Nets team (before they were the Brooklyn Nets) used to play with me ask a kid when my dad owned a restaurant in Oakland NJ, and they came to eat there on a few occasions...

The rap singer Eve also used to visit my dad's restaurant and flirt with him behind the counter ... I think she liked it a lot when my dad would tell her she was too skinny and needed to eat something.... Mom doesn't like her much

, but I got to sit and eat with her a few times.

DH is also friends with a few famous German soccer players from when he used to play... I get to meet with them once in a while.

Bigboneded · February 2014

I got hugged by Dan Akroyd! Love him, he is soooo nice! Also Josh Hartnett, Tom Sizemore, and more from the Premier of Pearl Harbor, which took place on a Navy Air Craft Carrier, and I helped with Security. What fun! Highlight of my life :-)

Waliany2015 · February 2014

I sold make-up to Michael Clarke Duncan when I was a senior in high school. He was a very big man with a crazy deep voice.
My mom's childhood bestie is a producer. My mom and I got to be extras in the movie "I want someone to eat cheese with." We got to meet Jeff Garlin. He was a total ass. I've watched the movie over and over and I can't find myself lol the must have cut me out!
My brother is besties with The Gossip. I've hung out with then multiple times and gone to a few of their concerts as their guest. The drummer Hannah and her girlfriend even stayed at my place when they came to Tacoma to see Prince.
A few months ago I was at a batchelorette party in Kirkland and in walked these huge guys. They instantly came over to our table and kept buying everyone shots and payed everyone's bill. They all play for the Seahawks but only one actually plays #68 Giacomini

No one good. I shook Bill Clintons hand and I met Dennis Haskins (aka Mr. Belding from SBTB). He was an ass and so full of himself.

I've heard terrible things about Mr. Belding! He threw some rager at a nightclub in DC last summer and looked creepy as shizz posing for pics with a bunch of sweaty teenager and 20-something chicks. Gives me the heebie jeebies.
