Celebrity Sightings/Meetings You've Had

[Mattman]

Starting this thread because today I saw a celebrity of sorts, and I thought I might as well write it into a thread.  This thread is for anybody who's passed a celebrity on the street, or actually met them.  Share your experiences!

So me and my friend were walking around between classes at Queen's University in Kingston today, when we saw Dan Aykroyd pass us.  He was carrying some bags and talking to a guy next to him.  Maybe his son goes to university here?  I'm pretty sure he lives in Kingston.  Anyway, it was one of those double-take moments.  We just walked on, because, really, what are you gonna say to Dan Aykroyd?  I'm a huge fan of Ghostbusters and Blues Brothers, though

I met Mickey Mouse at Disney World. He gave me a hug. It was cool. But, seriously, I saw Tori Spelling in Vegas back in '95. 

[Danny]

I saw Steven Tyler and Joe Perry at the Mall Of America's movie theatre.  There was a row roped off for the two of them in the theater playing Copland.

And once, in the very early 1990's, Mrk Walburg (then Marky Mark) tried to have sex with my wife.

I seen SR 71 before thier show at the pharmacy, but I really didnt want to talk to someone there.

Seen Blink 182's drummer Travis in a local record shop before thier show, he was browsing cds. I walk right next to him and started looking. I didnt say anything to him through kinda tempted to push him just a little.

Then met Ted Nugent after one of his speeches at a book signing and got him to sign his book for me.

[Aava]

Andy McCoy (in our local pub)
Jari Kurri & Teemu Sel?nne (at my dad?s office)
The Rasmus (they?re from the same neighborhood)

And lots of other finnish "celebrities" on the street.

[C0ma]

I own't get too crazy listing every celeb I've ever seen before, but I was in Las Vegas in August the week of the MAGIC (fashion, not Sigrfied and Roy) show.

Fred Durst had a Birthday party at the Hard Rock and I saw him come in with Paris Hilton.

I sat at the Bar at the Pink Taco (Hard Rock) with Steve, the Host of "Monster House" he was very cool.

Ran into Vinnie Paul, the Drummer for Pantera at a bar just outside of the Sports book at the Hard Rock.

Hung out with Jim Norton (Opie and Anthony) at the Ghost Bar (Palms), we were there to she a show he was doing, we? saw him come up and said hi to him then walked away, he bought himself a drink then came over and sat with us from about 45 minutes just acting like he was one of our freinds from college. I know he's not a huge star, but most people in his situation would have acted like they were Elvis and hid in the corner of the room avoiding people cause he thought he was a star.

Also ran into Paul Pierce (Boston Celtics) at a California Pizza Kitchen in the Mirage. He acted like a total dick, HE saw me wearing a Boston Red Sox hat so he must have thought I was going to bother him, so he acted like I had a rare airborne strain of HIV or something..... I wanted to walk over after that and tell him he didn't have to worry becuase I didn't care that he was there, He sucks and his team sucks.......But I figured we waste my time.

[GnRNightrain]

I saw just about everyone when I was going to UCLA.  It seems like celebrities are always hanging out in Westwood.

[Rhythm-n-Booze]

I saw the comedian Sinbad during the filming of his movie Houseguest in an airport in pittsburgh years ago.....i was pretty young.

Last time John Mayer was in pittsburgh (within the last year) I was at my mall that I worked at and was on break and saw him walking around with some 'crew' around him. Oddly enough nobody was walking up and asking for autographs or anything lol. not to make fun of him, he is a good guitarist but i dont think you'd know by those dumbass singles he releases

Once, when I worked at a computer place, Allan Doyle (lead singer for Great Big Sea) came in and wanted to buy a keyboard.............

And because St. John's is such a small 'city' I've seen him a million times...........

After the Junos were held in St. John's a couple of years ago, I was on my way to Toronto, and ended up on the same flight as the Baby Blue Soundcrew, and sat with one of 'em on the way up................
================================================================
I attanded a seminar held by Joe Louis/Lewis () the kickboxer a good many years ago....
