Ever have a Run-in with a Celeb

This does not mean "Oh I worked on the set with ____ ____ and they were so cool".

My best one was Al Pacino calling me a "Fucking Vulture" for taking his picture in 1998.

And then there was the time I nearly slid into Christina Ricci at a convieniance store with wet floors.

-Sean in LA

I've never met anyone.

Julia Roberts walked into a restaurant I was eating in. The whole place stopped (literally -forks halfway to mouth) for about two minutes.

Weird Al slept on my couch.

If that's true then you are the coolest person in the world

ate pizza with Jerry Only (Ciafa i think is his real last name) of the Misfits.
stepped on Michale Keatons foot by accident at pittsburgh's three rivers regatta.
and sold ice cream to Mel Torme'.

I saw keanu reeves when I was about 14 in london, all these people were talking to him and getting autographs and shit ,he was being polite and sweet talking to everyone...and I just stood there gawping like a retard

I've met some minor celebs, like the lead singer of the band James. I asked him if I could kiss his hand. He said no. Asshole.

oh,and I smooched with warren fitzgerald but he's not famous famous I suppose

the fool!

I was at a party with Jello Biafra this saturday (see my latest journal entry).
Met the Pumpkins when they did an instore at the Tower Records I worked at.
Went backstage and met Mike Ness after one of his shows.
Saw Eve and David Schwimmer on the streets of Chicago.
Oh, also when I was younger I met a bunch of metal singers:
Andre Matos of Angra,
The singer for Primal Fear,
Jon Schaffer and Mat Barlow of Iced Earth. I was going to the IE show with an Iron Maiden t-shirt, and they were just hanging outside of the venue. Jon commented on my shirt and asked me where I got it. Also, they had just recorded their live album in Athens, Greece, so I mentioned I was from there and later, during the show he talked about the album and pointed me out in the crowd. I felt so cool!!!
I think those are all my celebrity stories.

ive met a whole slew of celebrities. most of them were really fucking cool to me, george clinton and arlo guthrie being the most cool. the only one who was a dick was marilyn manson. though i figure if i had breasts, he probably would be been nicer

Had a beer with Joey Molland of 70s pop legends Badfinger after his show (very grainy pic in my pics section).

Uhhh... I also used to get Dan Harris coffee when he was a local news anchor in Massachusetts. Now he's a big up-and-coming ABC News personality...

oh, who am I kidding

I've met a lot, but some of my favorites include: All of the founding members of Upright Citizens Brigade, Tina Fey, the Indian guy from Jerky Boys, and Tamlyn Tomita (the love interest from Karate Kid 2. I sang kareoke with her).

Anna Paquin's boyfriend used to live in my apartment building...I would end up riding the elevator with her almost every morning. not a pleasant girl, i've gotta say.

doogie howser (poor guy will never actually be known as neil patrick harris) hit on my college boyfriend on a few occaisions.

Who knows, maybe next time she'll be screaming "Oh my god it's Olivia from SG!"

I have lots of celebrity run-ins because of the neighborhood that I live in. My gym seems to attract lots of them too, let's see, um, Conan O'Brien, Edie Falco, Denzel Washington, the dude who played Ice Man in X-2, Lenny Kravitz (I made a loud, obnoxious comment about how "it's really bright in here and I wish I had worn my sunglasses" - he pretended not to notice and left his on).

In my neighborhood I see Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon fairly frequently, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, I saw Anna Paquin at Joe's Pizza, had dinner at a table next to Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke (that was a while ago), I saw the little bald sicilian guy from The Princess Bride, and I can't remember who else.

I have one more really good one, but I'm waiting for my SG stickers to come in the mail, and I'll post it in SGARMY.

I did street canvassing during my summer in Manhattan. After doing so, I have devised a thoery: If you stand in one spot in Manhattan long enough, celebrtities will invariably pass by.

During that summer I saw:
Liv Tyler
Luke Wilson
Sarah Gilbert (Darlene from Rosanne)
Holly Hunter

A girl in my crew was fauning all over this skateboard guy for like 10 minutes. Turns out it was the lead singer of Dashboard Confessional. I had no idea.

Near NYU, I saw Mila Kunis (Jackie from That 70s Show) walking her dog with none other than Macauly Culkin. She was pretty damn rude.

The strangest though, was the first. It was like my third day canvassing, which basicly means standing in one spot tryin to get people to talk about the environment. Oh, and give money too. Anyway, I was standing outside of a big media conglomerate building, when suddenly this huge guy passes me at a diagonal, so that I can only see him out of the corner of my eye. By the time I am through the greeting "Hi, do you have a second to talk about the environment?" I have to crane my neck to see his face. Suddenly a huge hand rests on my shoulder , and I hear this familyiar voice say, jokingly, "Nah. I like to club baby seals." When I can finally focus on his face. I realize it's Brian Dennehy.

I puked on Keith flint (From Prodigy) at a afterparty once. I thought I would have my ass kicked, but he was quite nice about it, since it was actual his fault... He was giving me way to much Absinthe!

Maybe he is not a celeb, but hey, he is the closest thing for me.

If you mean my Pacino incident I have the photo to prove it.

Oh I almost forgot the time me and my Mom ran into Corey Feldman (If he qualifies as a celeb) in about 1989 buying some local merchandise at 2nd & Vermont.

-Sean in LA

I'm outside the Viper Room catching a smoke and talking smack with some guy. So the whole time I'm thinking "this guy looks really familiar, did we maybe go to school together? hmm" So I go back in and all the girls are all "Oh my gawd! He's ssso hot! It's Vince Vaughn!" That's usually the way it is when I meet celebs. I usually don't recognize them or they just look familiar. I did recognize Dwight Yokam, who Vaughn sitting with that night.

I used to work with celebrities in Orlando. To name some that I have spent a considerable amount of time with,

Steve McNair, Tennesse Titans Quarterback
Micheal J. Fox
George Kennedy
Laura Ines, the hobbled doctor on ER
Hillary Clinton
Prince Al Saud of Saudi Arabia (cokehead!)

I also had dinner with the Dead Milkmen, and chatted with Jerry Only for 20 minutes or so at a show.

I had a 20 min conversation with Zach De La Rocha at the coffee shop in front of our dorm. he was a very down to earth guy.

Also talked with William H Macy while waiting for the light to turn green at union square.

Saw Steven Spielberg at the e3 Halo 2 presentation.

Also met Kristy Swanson there

And saw a shitload of celebrities around the unionsquare area.
