I want to hear about your most pathetic brushes with stardom...

i.e. I'm not that bothered if you sat next to Brad Pitt on a plane, but if your Auntie's neighbour baked cakes for a C-list celebrity, this is your chance to shine (or not..)

I'll share mine when there's some replies, otherwise this'll just look like... whatever is the opposite of an ego trip :)

Umm..


My boyfriend has met and has a BBQ with the members of Dropkick Murphys every summer?

My brother has met and is friends with some of our pro football players/baseball players

I know a chick who sat in a band member's lap

I've met batman ;D

My bf's cousin used to play for one of my State's hockey teams

Annnnnnd, my aunt bakes cakes for people, and I think she has for some celebrity?

I think that's what you're looking for? XD

Everyone's met Paul McCartney! He's a busy man :)



My second cousin used to be Robson Green's hairdresser (lol)

I almost ran over Hugh Laurie with a rickshaw

When I was six I wrote to the Queen.... and she wrote back! Well... one of her ladies-in-waiting wrote back :)

I got stalked by an unattractive ex-soap-actor; it was hilarious until it got really creepy... It was mainly online and by phone, I was lucky enough to avoid actually meeting him but he got to within 20 feet. I found the whole thing especially puzzling given that he'd shaken the very foundations of the celebrity-stalker relationship by stalking someone even less famous than himself :D

And I got a kiss on the cheek from the bassist of Hey Monday when I was taking a picture with him at a concert.

I almost bumped into Jeff Gordon at a local grocery store. He proceeded to laugh, shake my hand, and give me an autographed t-shirt(he was there for an event). I left confused, not knowing who the hell that was or why he gave me a shirt.

Also, once when I was eight, I was at some charity event that went late into the night. Needless to say I was tired so I wandered off to a nearby couch to go to sleep. A man sitting on said couch tried to drum up a conversation with me just as I was about to nod off and I, irritated, snapped at him and proceeded to fall asleep anyway. That man was Brad Pitt.

I met the movie producer/director Michael Moore. Just a few of his films, and some of the ones I like, are "Bowling for Columbine", Fahrenheit 9/11", and "Roger and Me", amongst many others. In college I had a class titled "Analysis of Social Dissent". There were only 6 students in the class and we had an hour to talk to him. The professor arranged for him to come in as I went to college near his hometown.

It was both the most interesting course and the most interesting single class of my entire college experience. This could be because I have never really adopted a mainstream point-of-view and I don't see it changing, for better or worse.

I shook hands with Mitch Fatel at one of his comedy tours, and got his autograph. I also have a few pro football players autographs, and pictures with them. I also saw Marlan Wayans get into an SUV in New York City, and got a picture of him, right up close, I'm reflected in the window. Lol. I asked for one more picture, and he rolled the window back down.

I saved David Guest from getting run over... he was wandering around in the area where I live, gazing upwards to admire the old buildings... I thought it best not to make a grab for him, but alerted his big security guy to the fact that he was in fact standing in the middle of the road.

I saw Lenny Henry in my local Spar shop, and also the guy who runs the zoo in The Mighty Boosh. I've met Guy Garvey (frontman of Elbow) a few times... he kissed me on the cheek... but I have such a big crush on him I just turn into an idiot...

My grandad was best mates with the ancient (now dead) football commentator Hugh Johns. I had no idea who he was until I met him at my grandad's funeral, and he had the most amazing velvety voice - he could never have a private conversation because everyone immediately stopped what they were doing to listen to him :)

That's about it... oh and my Grandma's friend is Monique Coleman's manager I believe. And my cousin's friend's friend's friend's cousin is Kellan Lutz lol XD
