Oooh, two celebrity things I really regret missing- J.K. Rowling and Lemony Snicket (and a few others, but I forget the names). Quite a few years back, they stopped by at a local bookstore.

Well, I live in Los Angeles, so star sightings just aren't quite as big of a deal. :P

Let's see... I've seen a lot of celebs, but almost always, I don't recognize them, or don't know until someone points them out to me. As far as I can remember:
-Queen Latifah was my next-door neighbor for a while - she autographed my copy of the Chicago soundtrack. :)
- I've been at school with Corbin Bleu (he was in Catch that Kid and Galaxy Quest) and Alex Linz (he was Max Keeble, and in a lot of other stuff), and I still see them occasionally
-I went to theater camp with the Olsen twins' younger sister, and I saw them at the performance
-I met Alex Trebek when I was on Jeopardy
-I met Big Bird (XD) and a lot of other people from Sesame Street when I was way younger and on one of the videos. I got a feather, heh
-I once saw Winona Ryder shopping :P
-I interviewed the author Orson Scott Card (over e-mail though)
-Dunno if this is too political, but without any espousal of beliefs whatsoever I've met Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and a ton of other political figures. And I have autographs!

I know there are quite a few of my mom's friends work in TV, but I forget their names, and I don't really know how famous they are anyhow. And...uh, once at a writing club, I met a two of the actors/actresses from one pretty popular TV show... but I forget what it was. Plus, I get to go to premieres on occasion from this movie club, so sometimes I'll see the actors/filmmakers but generally it's not close-up although once or twice I got to say, like, "Hi."

And this is all with me not being really into the entertainment biz. :P

I've seen a few celebrities in my life. Not anything major it's not like they're anything special. I didn't pay them much heed.

Whoa. I would be regretting that also. haha

I don't think I've ever seen any celebrities.. That's one of the 5000 downsides to living in a small town in Pennsylvania.

Ummm..I saw Paul Whitehouse in a Turkish restaurant in Islington not too long ago. I'm quite proud of that, Paul Whitehouse rocks. I wish I got his autograph, I was too shy to go up to him. And besides, that would probably have been rude of me to do so. *shrug*

I met Richard O Brien at a convention last year, which was big. For me anyway. But other than that no celebrities have crossed my path, unless you count my 'extrainthematrixreloaded' cousin :D

*thinks* I met Heidi Fleis once (can't remember how to spell her last name). I've also met a few football players here and there.
Oh, I met Hayley Westenra earlier this year, and spoke to her for about 20 minutes ^-^

My friend met Delta Goodrem when she was shopping for formal dresses :)


Gone, forever.

If you count dreams, I've met Orlando Bloom a lot of times... lol

Really, I've met Jack Gantos and a whole load of authors and illustrators at LLFC and at my school. I played Monopoly with George W. Bush's uncle (not a celebrity but related to one!), and Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith played with a student band at my school's talent show a few years ago.

Baseball, I've met loads, the most famous being Terry Francona, Jason Varitek, and Manny Ramirez. I also sort of met Theo Epstien- He was on his cell phone, and me and a few other fans were yelling funny things at him, but he just told us to shut up (phrasing it more nicely than that though).

I wish I was in California. Dx

I haven't really "met" anyone famous, but I've seen them (in places other than book signings and concerts) once in awhile.

I've seen:
-J.Lo
-George Bush Dx
-Phylis Reynold Naylor
-Cameron Diaz (I have absolutely NO idea if I spelled her name right or not. Dx)
-Some soccer dude :P

The end. So cool, huh?


Image Thanksies Dawn, sorry I didn't see it before. ^___^

I've met a few famous football/ basketball players. Main celebrity wise though, I think the only one I've met was D'Ville (I hope that's how you spell it.) He's sort of small at the moment, but he is a singer, and he's been invited to about all of Chingy's (again, hope I'm spelling these things right), Outkast's, Snoop Dog's, and several other rapper's partys and such. My friend is his cousin so he came to our school once and sang for us. I got an autographed picture of him, and an autographed CD with about 5 songs on it. (Both were free.) Although I've lost the picture of him since, the CD is in my CD case. He's a pretty nice person.

I wish I could see Johnny Depp, or Orlando Bloom- just because those are like the only two celebrities that I'd actually recognise. :P

Oh! And I wouldn't mind seeing Michael Jackson, either. Just to actually see him how he is with my own eyes and not through the television. I never can completely see a person right until I've actually seen them in person.
