Have you met anyone famous?

When we were in NYC back in September, we were on the Today Show plaza and I shook hands and spoke briefly with Al Roker. That's about it! I also sang with Aretha Franklin back in 1996 at the opening ceremony of the Paralypmic Games (along with about 300 other kids) here in Atlanta. I never actually met her, but still cool!

Tiger Woods (he was a dick), Joel & Benji from Good Charlotte, and some guy that plays (played?) for the Orlando Magic. Nick Anderson (a former Orlando Magic) comes to my job on the regular. I've been in the same club as Chris Kirkpatrick but I never spoke to him. I use to see Shaq riding around town and he stopped behind me at a red light once so I waved at him like a big nerd.

Once I watched Scott stapp snort a bunch of coke in my friends apartment. He was naked. Later, he made toast. Also naked.

It was a weird night.

And he is a vile human, don't feel bad for him.

Oh and I met Gordon brown (prime minister of uk at the time) at Ten Downing Street (that's like the White House for prime ministers, y'all) and all I had to do was pretend to be a college student from the university of Exeter. The snacks were excellent, but his glass eye really threw me.

I met Willie Nelson and I have a pair of his underwear. Two separate but equally true stories

My H plays in the band of a pretty well-known musician (well, at least well-known to older generations; he's a rockabilly guy), whose name I won't say because internet security. My dad is a huge fan of his music, and H earned a lot of points with him by giving him a signed record when we were first dating. He got to meet him at our wedding.

I tried to steal Ron White's camera while riding horseback and attacking a wagon train in full makeup and buckskins. I worked for a place in Jackson Hole and Ron White did a tour with wounded warriors. He's nice I chatted with him a minute or two, he accused me of being that f***ing blue eyed Indian

Also Craig Morgan pulled me up on stage at a concert and sang me a love song. Then he showed me the stitches he had gotten from his shoulder surgery the day before.

Aaannndd Mitt Romney. He was at the boot barn. Buying boots.

No clue who this is or why I should/shouldn't feel bad for him!

I've never met anyone famous, and I am jealous of everyone that has!

I met Matt Damon when I was 18. The movie, The Departed, was about Whitey Bulger and he was shadowing the cop, who worked that case, as research for the movie. They went to a restaurant that my friend's cousin worked at and she called us freaking out. We left my house so quickly, I was wearing sweatpants, a sweatshirt, and Ugg slippers. We waited in the bar area until he finished eating and then he took a picture with us. I was totally that crazy fan girl, who couldn't stop laughing and smiling.

I've met Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, all of Good Charlotte (I was OBSESSED with them in high school), and I've been on one of those water flume rides at Disney's Animal Kingdom with the model Christie Brinkley and her husband at the time. My mom asked her if she was indeed Christie Brinkley. It was embarrassing.

Edit: I have also met the Goo Goo Dolls when I was in high school! Nicest guys ever!

Good Charlotte is from my hometown. Their aunt was my next door neighbor growing up, and I never met them but did see them at midnight mass a few years ago when they came home for Xmas.

I met Jerry O'connell and Christopher Walken in Australia when they were filming Kangeroo Jack. I also met Steve Irwin and his wife when I was at their zoo. This was about 13 years ago!

I have met both Jay-Z (at a football game after I performed in the half time show... we spoke for just a moment and he even laughed and said I was "crazy" in a loving manner, of course. ha!) and his wife, Beyonce. ( I sat front row at the Jimmy Fallon Show and she came up and said hello... it was brief).

I have met Emmanuel Louis ... the guy that played Webster.

I have met Catherine Zeta Jones and her kids at EPCOT. She was really sweet.

I rode next to Isabella Rossellini in a train for over an hour going from Long Island to NYC. I didn't recognize her until halfway there after people kept coming up to her and asking her things. She got pretty annoyed. She was kind of a bitch honestly.

I hung out with the entire band of Sigur Ros post show once and they even taught me how to speak in Icelandic.

I know there are more.... but I am drawing a blank.

I met (and had pizza with) Jonathan Taylor Thomas, more affectionately known in Teen Bop magazine as "JTT." This was during the Home Improvement hay day and I had photos of us taped to the underside of my desk in 5th grade for the entire school year.

I loooooved JTT! But I really, really liked Lucas from Seaquest - he was my Teen Bop heart throb for sure!

I saw Kevin Spacey at a bar in August - but we did not bother him - yay for us! I have also seen Randy from "Say Yes to the Dress" at Union Station. I saw CNN's John King drive into the CNN building parking lot this year too. Close encounters all.

Haha! I totally forgot that I met him, too. We were at a bowling alley here near Atlanta back in college..about 7 years ago. He took a picture with us, but didn't say much lol.

SS: Young Leek asked me for my number in Atlantic City when I was like 17. I picked ss, bc idk if hes considered famous. I had no idea who he was.

Apparently he sings that song.

princesslorenz · December 2014

I met Alfonso Riviero (Carlton) at a wedding on my husband's side...come to find out he's married to someone in my husband's family! Totally claiming relations! And yes, he DID dance the Carlton at the wedding

I have worked in entertainment for most of my career, and I have met a lot of big name actors, directors, musicians, etc. I used to work directly with talent and learned many of their dirty dirty secrets which I could have sold to Us Weekly for a lot of money if I was a huge jerk. At one of my jobs I had a silent alarm under my desk, like a bank teller, because so many celebrity stalkers would try to come into our offices.

I couldn't give a crap about most celebrities but my most starstruck encounters were Harvey Keitel, Michael Stipe, Jon Hamm and Steven Spielberg.

JON HAMM?!?! Oh my gahhhhh. I am so jealous, @emilie818‌. Is he as gorgeous in person as he is on TV? Is he a nice guy?

A friend's mother baby sat Justin Timberlake when he was little.

thechickencoop · December 2014

Oh derp, I answered NO but I should change it to yes! I forget about musicians; I had gotten backstage passes at Warped Tour two years in a row (years and years ago), and got to hang on stage with NOFX, Rancid, and some others...I forget now. Also, I got to hang out on Reel Big Fish's tour bus with them and Goldfinger at a concert in high school too....

That's all though....

Jonathan Brandis. I had a huge celeb crush on him and looooved Seaquest. I was so sad when he died

brettanomyces · December 2014

I was on here the day that GM/WCIBN posted her photo. Does that count?

oneblessedmess · December 2014

I used to work at an after school care program and Michelle Obama visited us. Also, not me, but my mother talked to JC from NSYNC on the phone once. She worked for Delta and he called to book a flight. She told him my sister and I were big fans and he asked what our names were and said to tell us hi.

AshleyMB86 · December 2014

I've met John Barrowman (Captain Jack Harkness, from torchwood/Doctor Who and Malcom Merlin from Arrow), James Marsters (spike from btvs), Nicholas Brenden ( xander for btvs) and Clark Gregg (agent coulson, from the avengers and agents of shield). I got to conventions, so yeah! They we all very nice! James Marsters was super nice and talkative. He also exploded his pen all over my comic book.. its now looks like gold blood spatter. Pretty cool. Nicholas Brendon smelled amazing. I only met Clark Greg for a second in teh autograph line with my hubby. I got to cuddle with john Barrowman for a picture.

I've met many famous opera singers... Does that count?

queencitygirl89 · December 2014

I was Cinderella at Disney World for a while and met a lot of celebrities, but that doesn't really count since I was in character

When I was in college, Channing Tatum was filming some Nicholas Sparks movie in Charleston and I went to a Halloween party at his apartment. And I'm pretty good friends with most of the cast of the terrible Bravo reality show Southern Charm, but I don't think they've reached celebrity status
