What famous people have you seen in person?

Jon Voight - He was in a cafe I was at this morning

Sarah Palin - Saw her walking through a mall before she started runnning for VP and became a media whore

David Copperfield - Saw one of his shows in 2nd grade and he asked me to come on stage and I got scared and started cryiing so my brother went instead.

Funny story. Keep in mind this is just a month before the 2008 summer olympics.  So i was visiting New York walking around the GMA plaza and talking to a couple of the news casters like Al Rocer (sp) and what not and i see some fine ass bitches all suited up in U.S.A jump suits. I thought nothing of it except that they were hot. Turns out it was Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin, and some other girl. I will always regret not talking to them.

seen/met is a little vague, but here's my funniest encounter with a CELEB. some 8-9 years ago i was cruisin west palm beach while on a family vacation i ran into mike shinoda (the rapper dude from linkin park) and i recognized him right away and kinda got his attention and started to say 'heyyy aren't...' and he instantly interrupted and said 'shhh im hiding' and motioned at me to shuush. i gave him a nod of approval and carried on with my day.

i always crack a smile when i think back to that moment where he recognized that i knew who he was and wanted me to keep it under wraps, as if to not attract any attention, and was motioning like 'whoa whoa whoaaa shhhh keep it down' with his hands.

i should have just been like....'HEY EVERYBODY, AHHHHHHHHHHHH' and pointed at him :P

I've met Bruce Springsteen a few times, and he directed traffic for me once. My friend also used to babysit his daughter when she was younger. He's a nice, normal guy.

I've seen, but haven't talked to, Michael Bloomberg, Lou Dobbs, Steven Spielberg, and Chace Crawford.

I met Steele Spence on the Aspen Mountain gondy during the X-Games last year. We had a great talk on the skiing industry.

The best part is that he called me by name as he skied past me 2 days later.

Probably one of the coolest moments in my life.

Are we not counting concerts? because if we are I dont even remember all of them.

Assuming we aren't, I have seen a lot of professional athletes. The most famous of whom were probably Tony Hawk, Shaun White, and Ryan Sheckler. All at the Dew Tour. Which I guess is kindof like a concert so that might not count either. I sat behind Ryan Sheckler's mom, brother and friend though so that might kindof count.

Now that I think about, I dont think I have ever seen any celebrities just walking around. meh.
