    @Mrs. Cowgirl: you were on trl?! That's so cool! I used to watch it after school haha I loved jesse, one of the vjs, but I don't think he was popular.

    I haven't met her, but I've done work for tori spelling and that was kind of cool. I've met wiz khalifa, long before he was big. My friend is his tour manager. I had pancakes with Boy Sets Fire at a diner after one of their shows.

    Had drinks with DH and some of his friends from his Public Policy program--Alec Baldwin had spoken at an event and joined us afterwards. It was cold out and he put a jacket over my shoulders and told DH he had a great head of hair. Best night ever. He kept referring to 30 Rock as "his job." It was the besttttt.

    @Mrs. Jump Rope: yup, and they had me do a shout-out during LFO's "Every Other Time"! It was so lame and cheesy and fun! And Carson Daly is suuuuuuper cute in person. But I promise that's not where CB's name came from.

    Not many. I've spoken to Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Stewart, Brian Williams and Stephen Colbert. I've seen others on the street in NYC but didn't approach/bother them. Can you tell where I live from my list? lol

    Cher, when I was too young to realize what an icon she is! Andy Cohen, Jordan Knight (NKOTB) when I was a nine and obsessed and Donnie Wahlberg when I was 30 and still obsessed

    @AprilFool: I met Jude Law too! He came into a club I was working at several years ago--he was a great tipper!

    Also at that club I met James Gandolfini and Steve-O from Jackass. I know we had more lesser known celebs come though, but those three stick out in my head.

    I also met Anne Rice once (although not at the club, but through my father).

    Politics: I met George Bush Sr, had a sit-down conversation with George W (when he was still Governor), had my picture taken with and hugged Bill Clinton, and shook Obama's hand.

    @lilteacherbee: I am so insanely jealous that you met Hanson.

    I have met Steven Tyler, Paul Giulfoyle (from CSI), Eli Young Band, Josh Gracin, and a handful of pro-wrestlers (current and legends).

    @supernova, I'm so jealous... I love HIMYM!

    As for me, I've met Hugh Grant, Samuel L Jackson, Luke Wilson, and a few other actors. I'm trying to think if there is anyone else... Well, Prince William & Kate Middleton! Hah. That is all, though. Hugh Grant was totally creepy and Samuel Jackson was really sweet.

    How nice... I haven't met anyone!!! I am not very aware of others when I am out and about so I wouldn't know even if I saw them!

    With that said I "saw" Bill Clinton in a restaurant with Hilary and Chelsea and other people once. Then we "saw" Adrian Grenier when we were at the airport, Delta Sky Club lounge. He was on his headphones looking all normal and DH was like look that's the guy from Devil Wears Prada, I was like, who? hahaha.

    Krist Novoselic (bassist from Nirvana). He was on the board of a nonprofit I interned at and came to one of the fundraising events.

    That's all I've got. lol

    Aerosmith (the whole band!) walked into he coffee shop I was working at. And I live in a suburb of Atlanta. That was a huge shock

    I also met Jimmy Carter. My end project in my senior seminar in college was to present a foreign policy of the president and how it would have played out in current day. Talk about nerve wracking to present it in front of him and 12 of my classmates. He was very intelligent for an old guy

    I also met the target dog

    Dude. Just last Tuesday I had to go to a Jonas Brother meet-and-greet with my sister. It was awful. It was all of these 14 year old girls and...me...9 months pregnant... Such a fail.

    Pretty sure that's about the extent of my "celebrity" interactions... Hahahaha.

    I met Danny Glover back in the day, and John Mayer bought my friend and I drinks at a bar in LA. A former Yankee pitcher also bought us drinks at the same bar a few days later (haha, it was a good trip!). I met a couple of hockey players in Aspen, but I can't remember who they were.

    My uncle is very close friends with Bill Clinton, so I've met him plenty of times - - even had dinner with Bill Clinton on my 21st birthday!! Met a lot of other politicians of various levels.

    I saw Jennifer Lopez in LA and even though I'm not a fan, she is by far the most beautiful person I've ever seen. Amazing skin, and she is so teeny.

    Seems like I'm forgetting someone....

    @Littlebit: so jealous! I Ron White! Was he cool in person or a dick? I could sort of see it going either way lol

    I just thought of another one with the fights going on tonight- my cousin and her husband are good friends with Cain Velasquez (UFC/MMA), so we've hung out with him before (makes us sound way cooler than we really are). He's awesome, and his wife is an absolute sweetheart.

    Once I was on the same flight as Danny Glover coming back from Ecuador one time. It left pretty late (midnight) and was the only flight leaving the airport at that time. When we were waiting, they called certain passengers to the desk for whatever reason, and a name I heard was "Daniel Glover." I chuckled to myself, "Ha, Daniel Glover, like the actor." Then I see a tall guy get up and walk to the desk, and yup, it was Danny Glover. When I boarded the plane I was surprised to see that he and his wife were in coach and only a few rows in front of me. I wound up standing right behind them in the customs line, and then he helped me pull my (giant) suitcase off the baggage carousel. I said "thanks Danny Glover" and went on my merry way, haha. Such a nerd.

    I met the Harlem Wizards in middle school when they played a charity ball game against our teachers, and I went to college with Denver Nuggets player Kenneth Faried. He worked a car wash for Until the Violence Stops with my friend and I.

    I met Ron Jeremy and Larry Flynt one time at a store opening thing. Ron Jeremy is the tiniest dude Ive ever seen. Seriously, im 5'7 and his eyes were boob-level... which I guess is good for him. lol

    I made Bonnie Hunt her hot chocolate and lattes when I worked at Starbucks, and I've met Israel Idonije, who played for the Bears. I've also met Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal (from the original cast of RENT), along with various bands/musicians.
