Re: Celebs, have you met any in person?
I met Conan O'Brien on the street in Manhattan about 15 years ago. He was on the phone (a pay phone! This was before cell phones) and my best friend interrupted his conversation to get his autograph.
I was MORTIFIED. He gave her a "really?" look and scribbled his name on the paper. We left and she was like, "wow, I didn't realize he was such a jerk!"
One of my best friends worked on "Ellen" for years and one of his jobs was showing around the celebs that were the guests for that day. Of all his years working there, he said the nicest, coolest, most fun and gracious person was... Shakira. How random! And the worst was David Boreanaz.

Ed Robertson from Barnaked Ladies.
I walked past him in the M&M store in Times Square, said "oh my god, is that.." and slapped him on the arm. He turned kind of surprised but smiled at me as I stood there like this
He was so nice and talked to me for a minute and took a picture. I will never forget it. I'm a huge fan so it meant a lot to me.

Joe Pantalone (sp?) - Ralphie on the Sopranos. He was eating dinner at the table next to DH and I at a resaurant in Hoboken. DH wanted to talk to him, but I talked him out of it. It looked like he was just trying to have a nice quiet dinner out with his family.
Alec Baldwin and Nathan Lane - years ago, I was on a date and we were online picking up our tickets at an Off Broadway show and Alec Baldwin and some woman he was with was standing right in front of us, and Nathan Lane was directly behind us. - Nathan Lane was a BEOTCH... not nice at all.

Oh, I'm so jealous! I adore BNL, am a big huge fan.
I've met Ben Folds twice. I met Rufus Wainwright once. And most of the other celebrities I've seen were in passing and I didn't speak with them.
ETA Ben Folds is very kind and gracious, takes a lot of time with his fans. Rufus Wainwright is a total DIVA, but I didn't expect anything less. He was nice though.
I also met an author of mine I really like - Laurie Notaro - but I doubt anyone would consider her a celebrity on any level. She was amazing, very kind and funny.

George H W Bush (pres #41, not43 ) could not have been nicer!

Re: Celebs, have you met any in person?
Yearssssss ago when I was at Les Mis. An actress that played on the soap opera Loving was in the audience. She played "Stacey" on the soap and I actually said to her........wait for it........My name is Stacey in real life ZMy BF at the time was like you are the biggest dork!! She was really nice and just said nice to meet you I'm Lauren.
I also met Johnny Cash and that was really cool!
My exBF's sister dated the guy who owned Boston Comedy Club in the city so I have met a ton of comedians including: Jon Stewart, Jim Brewer, Mario Cantone, Dave Chapell, Jay Moher. All of them are very nice and so fun to hang out with!
ETA: I also hung out with Peter DeLuise (of 21 Jump St fame) at a party and he stuck a quarter up his nose and had to go to the emergency room

Re: Celebs, have you met any in person?
I have met a few musicians:
I met Mike Gordon from Phish in Saratoga, he was nice, very quiet.
The singer from the Spin Doctors (I don't remember his name) I took my little sister to this show, I wasn't really into the band, but she was super excited to meet him.
Todd Sheaffer from Railroad Earth (also From Good Homes), he was super sweet. I met him at one of the first shows after Railroad Earth started, there were maybe 20 people there, it was in an old carriage house of a castle.
Rick Allen and Rick Savage (from Def Leppard) both called me when I was in 8th grade, I know someone who was quite the groupie and she was "staying" with them while they were in town. She had them call me, I was 13 years old and freaking over the moon with excitement
I saw Monica Lewinsky in Chelsea, but I didn't stop to say hi

I picked up a Laurie Notaro book on a whim once while on vacation (for something to read by the pool) and I loved her! I think it was "We Thought You Would Be Prettier"? She's so funny. There was a story in there about her going to do a reading at a Barnes & Noble where only like 3 people showed up... I won't spoil it for you in case you haven't read it, but it was hilarious. And kind of proves that you're right and she's pretty much a non-celebrity.

Re: Celebs, have you met any in person?
I have some friends who are in obscure but well known (if you will) pop groups, one of my friends bands was on Jimmy Fallon a few weeks ago, but my favorite story is that there is a singer who was my ABSOLUTE favorite ever and turns out he is a school friend of my very close friends husband, so have been out with him a few times. He is a pretty big celebrity here, and he is a lovely guy! He was my ideal man in the nineties, although now he is a bit beardy!
I had to add that my mother met JFK on a tour of the white house in the very early sixties. Thats a great story!

Re: Celebs, have you met any in person?
LOL. I just deleted mine since they are sort of friends now and after I read his wiki entry, it was quite obvious that he wrote it and didn't want him to google his name and find that I was bragging about having dinner with him.. Lame and a long shot.. but, he seemed like the type of guy to google himself!

Re: Celebs, have you met any in person?
Lots of bands...
All of the Ramones...all six of them Alice Cooper Type O Negative Weezer Yes Sonic Youth Megadeth Joan Jett Everclear Rancid Kid Rock Dropkick Murpheys Pat Smear
...with the exception of Dave Mustaine from Megadeth, everyone was pretty cool. He's a pompous, arrogant douche.
Also.. Johnny Depp Hunter S. Thompson Martin Short Danny Masterson Ben Stiller Janeane Garofalo and since I work in theatre, actors come through the office fairly frequently. Of this list, everyone was incredibly nice.

Re: Celebs, have you met any in person?
I met Brian Dennehy when he was in Death of a Salesman in the 90s. He was a jerk. Our HS theater teacher arranged a meeting with him after we saw the play. There were probably 30 students there. It was suppose to be a meet and greet where we coudl ask him questions about acting. He basically told everyone - Good luck because none of you will succeed. I understand this is more or less true (although two people who went have been on TV several times), but his delivery of the information was awful.
My sister is the program coordinator for a local college and has met MANY celebrities. She said Snoop Dog was very nice. Jamie Kennedy was a drugged up jerk. The boys from Brand New (who we actually went to ES, MS, and HS with) were not nice at all (but she thinks that was mostly due to their agent).

I think maybe Jerry Seinfeld and Al Gore too, though not positive about that.
ETA: He said all were very nice. He even heard Melissa E. serenading her kids and playing guitar!

Re: Celebs, have you met any in person?
I almost forgot, a few years ago I was in a fancy drugstore in the village I work in, and I met Morrissey.
I spent a few minutes talking to him about how he was one of the biggest influences on my life, and he was really really lovely! He laughed when I told him that when I was about 15 I felt like he was speaking directly to me, but our backgrounds were so different, and also, how now, I live about two streets away from his childhood home.
And, he spent over £1000 on mens hair products and scented candles.
