Have you ever met a famous person?

[luckies4me]

I thought it would be fun to see how many of us have met a famous person, may it be an actor or a musician whatever.



I have met quite a few people but I would LOVE to hear of everyone elses experiences! Do you have autographs, or pictures taken with them? Please list who you met and who they are.



Here is my list (may not be complete, but from what I can remember)


BLINK 182 of course! the best band ever because Tom is a hottie! I have been to every one of their concerts that has been local to me and have even flown out to some, including one while I was 4 months pregnant. The only member I didn't get to meet was Travis. At the time it didn't bug me because I just wanted to see Tom lol. If anyone wants to know the whole story (pretty funny) than I will ellaborate lol.

PennyWise.....they weren't like I expected that's for sure!


Yes I know..... but N SYNC I took my sister to the concert. She one an essay contest and won the grand prize so we had VIP access and what not. I was pregnant at this concert too lol and it was abour 95 degress outside during the rehearsal. YUCK!

This one is funny too but I had a major crush on him. Dr. Drew LMAO! I was so excited to meet him and since he is a doctor/spychologist I got to talk to him for a while about some things and he was really a nice man. He's very handsome for an older man.


Seth Green - been in a lot of stuff

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Stroke 9 - have picture, hung out with them backstage but that's a long story too lol

Kelly Slater the surfer

Eve 6

The Cult- um that was interesting

The Get Up Kids

the lead singer of Orgi

Limp Biskit


I can't remember the rest, I will have to go over my sigs and stuff.



So post your concert photos too if you have any!


If there are any NSYNC fans here I have some great concert pics you can have LOL. haha

[luckies4me]

For the NSYNC people, I also have a HUGE, and I mean HUGE cardcoard cutout thing of JC and Justin....we got it at the concert. It was a sprint PCS thing but we took one anyway. It's been sitting in my closet for two years and I kinda want to get rid of it lol. It's not even asembled yet.



This thread a plug to get rid of my NSYNC parafanilia? NO way! LMAO

I voted "yes and it was great", but really it was horrible!
when i was 16 I was skiing near my home (santa fe). i was out of control. i SLAMMED into someone. skis went flying. i went down. i had goggles, hats, poles spread all over the mountain. AND it was my fault. anyway, the guy i slammed into runs up to me to make sure i'm ok, then helps me get all the gear i've stewn across the run. cleans me off, scrapes my boot bottoms and gets me back in my skis. im already mortified (i'd been skiing for ten years by this time). he asks my name, i tell him. and then he says: my name's bob. he pulls off his hat and goggles and its robert redford. i nearly died.

later that day my best friend calls (his parents own a hotel) and says: come over come over! robert redford and sonia braga are here for dinner and we're going hot tubbing later!

i stayed home. too mortified!

[luckies4me]

WOW that is so cool! I would love to meet a big time actor like him. I know it could be emberassing...let me tell you!



I was backstage at the Weenie Roast and standing in line for the salad bar with my best friend Robert. I was SO excited because Blink was there! Well we started talking about Blink and I was going off on how hot Mark was (loved Mark back then, but Tom is my man now) and wouldn't shut up about it. I was just telling my friend how I think he is such a babe and I am so in love wth him blah blah blah, when this girl tapps me on my shoulder and goes "Oh you like Mark? He's standing right behind you. " I turned around and I almost died. I was so emberassed. He heard everything I said. He just said HI and gave me this really dorky smile and laughed. Then for the rest of the day he kept on bugging me while I was backstage and just kept teasing me.


He would come up to me and go "Hey, so you think I'm sexy do ya? " and than he would start kinda shoving me lol, in a playful way. I tell you those guys are so dorky and immature, but that is why I love them!

That was the show where they were promoting "Loser Kids" their new site and just had stickers made so he kept comming to give me stickers, even though he knew I already had some lol. I think I had about 20 stickers by the time I left. In the end I got over the emberassment and just talked to them for awhile. I only talked to Tom for about 5 minutes because he kept running around like a chicken with his head cut off lol. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture because my friend went to go see the concert while I stayed and talked, but I did get their sigs. Next time I go backstage I WILL have a camera though lol. I have tons of concert photos as I am always in the pitt so they turn out pretty well. We've only had our camera taken away once and the film was empty so we've had good luck.

Oh yes but Tom gave me a kiss on the cheek! I about died! It's funny how they are just like regular people but you get so frozen when you talk to them.

I can't think of any that I've personally experienced at the moment but Brian said that he got to meet Vin Diesel in a Hard Rock Cafe in Souel, Korea while he was stationed over there last year! I really wish I would have been with him for that one. Being stationed over there for a year, they got quite a few USO people over there but he said that not that many good ones made it up to the DZM which is what he was stationed really close to so he didn't get to see many of the major celebs! But he has got to meet a few non-major ones!

Not rock stars, but I have met (through where I work,) George Lucas (who was very nice), Jesse Jackson, shook hands with Bill Clinton (during his first term) (most sun-burnt person I'd ever seen) ...

And for authors, I've met Orson Scott Card, (nice, much taller than I'd thought), Leonard Nemoy, and even Isaac Asimov (who was far smaller/shorter than I thought he'd be, very nice person, but I expected a giant, like he's a giant in his genre ...)

And ... drumroll please ...
I have met all four of the top posters in Pet Talk! And THEY were all wonderfully nice, and I've met Daisy and Perry, too!

[Tina]

I've never got to meet anybody famous. I'd love to though I'd like to meet Axel Rose, Tom Petty(he just seems so cool ) Robert Redford, Creed, and some others. Probably never happen though.

My hubby has a friend that use to work at "The Greenbrier" here. It is like a really fancy hotel. His friend said that he was in the bowling alley/bar part of the Greenbrier. And he got to meet Drew Barrymore he said she was so nice.

My mom has got to meet a few country singers. Since they come into Wal-Mart after a concert they have at the state fair. I can't remember who all she's met. I'll have to ask her.

[primabella]

No one here but what do you expect when you live in Montreal?

My sisters' friend did see Celine Dion at a hall and she was apparently, VERY nice.

I do know a few people who have brothers or relatives that play soccer or sing...maybe they'll make it big one day...

You are too much!! LOL!! I was just coming here to say I met the "Mayor of Pet Talk", the most famous person I ever met!!!

[Aspen and Misty]

The only person I've ever met is the Prince of Madagascar (sp). I didn't know it was him though. LOL. My sisters Boyfriends father died and we went to the funeral and when we went back to his house there was some guy who didn't speak english feeding his two kids. I later found out it was my sisters boyfriends Aunt's husband, who is the prince. Well anyway, I didn't talk to him, but I did walk by him . LOL

I WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT!!


I talked to Jesse Ventura, you may know him as that wrestler on tv...well I know him as Minnesotas ex-governor, one who likes to spend his tax dollars stopping at my Uncle wedding to re gas the helicopter.

[Kfamr]

I've met a few of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers players Woohoo right? not. Not very exciting... lol....

I can't wait to meet Nelly one day.. it's my goal.

[Kfamr]

Oh yes.. Tom IS hot lol... and N sync sucks.

[bluekat]

First thing I wanna say is I LOVE NSYNC!!!!!!! I want to meet them so badly, my sister went to their concert once, but I never did. They're my favourite band! My room is full of posters of them, mostly Justin and JC
Sadly, I haven't met any famous people Well, I can't think of any right now. I don't have any autograghs or anything.
