    I just saw in another post that a bee on the boards has met a celeb and was wondering how many of us bees have met any celebs?

    The one that comes to my mind that Ive met is Gavin Degraw! I should post the pic on my facebook or on here! I need to scan it! HEHE! I went to his concert that was at a small club near my college and me and my roommate got our pic with him! The concert was awesome and he was really nice. BTW he was flirting with the bartender while we stood in line to meet him!

    Yay, I love this thread! Hehe, okay let me think. I've met:

    • Tony Hawk (at a meet n' greet)
    • Henry Rollins (after a concert)
    • Cybil Sheperd (She was sitting at the table behind mine at a rib joint in Memphis)
    • Darryl Waltrip (waited on him once in Nashville) 
    • HIM (meet n' greet)
    • James Brown (at King George Pub in Augusta, GA. Finally got the nerve to walk up to him. Didn't understand a word he said, but got his autograph)
    • Janes Addiction (almost all original - Dave Navarro, Perry - won a contest for a private concert and meet n' greet. Made an ass out of myself, got a pat on the head from Perry.)
    • Spoon (meet n' greet)
    • AFI (meet n' greet)
    • Pat Buchanan (my dad pulled me out of school and we followed the campaign trail so he could teach me about politics, lol)
    • Patrick Kearney (was a Falcons player, ran into him in a bar in Atlanta, literally. Ran into him coming out of the bathroom at Moondogs)
    • Shane and Parks Bonifay (Pro Wakeboarding brothers. Was a little messed up still from having surgery. Ended up licking Parks' face)
    • Lyle Lovett (Went into Gruhn's guitar shop in Nashville w/ my high school boyfriend one day. He was sitting on a stool, playing a guitar. Nashville is so weird)
    • There are more, but I'm pulling a brain fart. Long day.

    Don't think it counts as "meeting" per se, but I did once run right into Cillian Murphy and almost knock him over at a flea market in Paris.

    I met Hootie and the Blowfish when I was in third grade! haha.  My mom had backstage passes, and she brought me to the concert.  I also met Chad Michael Murray at the mall in Buffalo, NY, which is completely random because I lived in Boston.

    I used to work at a radio station so I've met a ton of musicians. Probably the most famous were Oasis or the Foo Fighters, but there were tons more.

    My friends and I had a conversation with Bill Maher at a bar when we went to L.A. last spring.

    And I went to high school with Kelly Ripa. I didn't know her too well, but we were in a play together. She was a senior when I was a freshman.

    I know there are more but I'm drawing a blank.

    I've met Smash Mouth. A few years ago my Mom's friends was the one that won "The Wedding Crasher's" contest. She got a free wedding, and they came to the reception. We all got to go to the concert for free after. Front row! It was awesome!

    I also have met Amy Roloff a couple times. = )

    Wasn't Cillian Murphy in one of the newer Batman movies with Christian Bale?

    I "met" (got autographs) from Ewan McGregor and Jane Krakowski after Guys & Dolls in London, actually met and talked to Greg Mortenson (author of Three Cups of Tea), and got autographs from the Smashing Pumpkins when I was little! I remember it wasn't really James Iha at the table, just some guy with a name tag that said "James."

    I met owen wilson in a square randomly in Rome.

    I also used to work for a professional ice hockey team so I've met a bunch of hockey players.

    FI was a promotions director for a radio station and has pretty much met ever musician and celebrity ever. If they're on the radio, he has a "personal" opinion on them.

    Some of them I was surprised at, there are some he loathes entirely that I love as musicians but he lost so much respect for them that he can't stand their music any more.

    FSIL books Local bands for our area's concert venue, so she meets them all too.

    OH, and our best man is a "local celebrity." lol

    • Jay-Z: Super nice, huge diamond earrings, this was when he was big but not BIG famous.  Signed a t-shirt at a backstage thing.  Seemed very humble.
    • Ja-Rule: Sitting on the lap of a hooker backstage at a concert.  Again, before he was famous - Same show as Jay-Z.  It was when he was guesting on one of Jay's songs.  Acted WAY too good to talk to fans. Shorter than I am (and I'm 5'7")
    • Tony Stewart - Meet n greet at a Home Depot.  Super nice.

    Related but not really celebs:

    • Band Members for Miranda Lambert - Ended up at the same bar as everyone in her band (other than her, dammit!) after her show.  All guys, really fun, hungo ut with them most of the night.  Everyone acted single, we looked them all up on Facebook the next day, bunch were married.  I guess that is life on the road for ya....

    P.S. New hip hop mostly sucks and now I'm into Country :)

    I'm a nightlife and entertainment producer, so I meet alot of celebs. I have to say my least favorite interview was Carrot Top (TOTALLY boring and lame) and my all time favorite was Henry Rollins.

    On another note- on Feb. 25 I am interviewing the Situation from 'Jersey Shore' Should be interesting to say the least. Anyone have any good questions for him?!?

    @Laylabelle: I am so very jealous of that pic.

    @D.Marie - UM YEAH.  Actually what was nuts is that one of his handlers brought 4 hookers and their PIMP in to meet him, he sat on ones lap while the others fawned all over him and basically, it was the msot disgusting thing I'd ever seen!  And I was a kid (19) from a small town.  Still the only time I've seen a "real hooker" up close!  HA!

    My friend is a nurse at the Children's hospital here in Atlanta and she was the night nurse for Alan Iverson's daughter, Messiah. He named his kid "Messiah". She said he was so sweet to his daughter, and even stayed over night and slept in the bed with her.
