have you met a celebrity?

I met the Queen when I was little and that was awesome!! But I also met other celebrities like Jean Claude Van Damme who was a total jerk!!! Saw him at the Vancouver Airport and he didn't even want to sign an autograph for me and acted like a jerk.

I met the lead singer of Hedley at the PNE a few years ago and he was super cute and also nice too.

I'm in limbo too. I've met a number of celebrities and they are mostly just people like you and I, they're just famous.

I semi-regularly hang out with someone who is internationally famous and am very good friends with someone who is nationally recognized within his sport. (I prefer not to mention their names since we still spend time together.)

Many years back, I actually taught Shaquille O'Neal when he was still in college. He was a nice kid for the most part. A little overwhelmed by all the attention he was getting, but still pretty down to earth.

I've met several well-known authors, most recently Patrick Rothfuss. I was nervous about meeting him, because he's not just a celebrity, he's actually someone I admire.

I have personally met: Jimmy Smits- Hank Willliams, Jr- Hoy Axton-Lou Diamond Philips-Corbin Bernstein-Lindsay Wagner-and Huey Louis.

I have, it wasn't awesome, they weren't jerks, they were just people.

I was on Oprah once, a long time ago, on a panel for Child Care workers, when I was doing childcare in my home when my babies were really small. Honestly, I wasn't all that impressed, but she wasn't a jerk or anything, just a person.

I have a cousin who has had a show on a major cable food network and an dating game show. I haven't seen him in years, but we used to play together when we were kids.

I've met some politicians. A pretty well known Illinois Republican politician goes to my pharmacy, and I see him once in a while. He's a nice guy.

I run into several Chicago news casters and Weather men on a regular basis, a number of them live a town over, where the rich people live. They smile and say hi, but I doubt they have any idea who I am.

I know there are more, but I don't usually commit this stuff to memory. I've never gone out of my way to meet a celebrity. Except for when my dad took me to see Ron Santo when I was a really little kid. LOL! I got an 8X10 glossy and his autograph.

At one point, I knew all the founders of La Leche League except one. Sadly, several of them have died since then.

celebs r just real people with a job title the ones i have met are awesome and i value as friend s now

Well, I don't spot a celebrity at random then chase them for an autograph. I run into celebrities at various events and social functions.

I have met several and they spoke with me more then to many others who were "hounding them". Why? Because I didn't think they were anything more then people, who struck it VERY lucky to be making so much money doing a JOB..be it acting or singing..etc. They are PLAIN OLD PEOPLE like everyone else, not some "superbeing". Awe and "reverence" are simply annoying to most of them.
