    I saw Sandra Bullock standing on the street holding her son and dancing with him to music that a little street band was playing in New Orleans...She is TINY TINY TINY- like I could not get over what a small person she is!

    I met the Jonas brothers at an after concert party when I worked for a vendor once at an arena. The Counting Crows were also there.

    I've met plenty of Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Bobcats players, thanks to working at Starbucks in Charlotte. I don't usually know who I just served until they leave and someone else was like, "do you know who that was?"

    I also took my golden to a dog training class and another Panther player was there with his dog, but I can't remember his name...DH would remember it.

    That's about it.

    Saw Woody Allen and Soon-Yi crossing the street in the UES of Manhattan a few months ago (and have a picture, haha). And last year in LA saw Neve Campbell and Henry Winkler! The Fonz was trying to squeeze behind my chair at a restaurant and actually said "excuse me, I'm so sorry" and put his hand on my shoulder. Ah, my brush with fame!

    I used to work at a coffee shop in a suburb of Atlanta (def a place where celebrity sightings are few and far between) and the entire Aerosmith band walked in! It was definite a star-struck moment.

    I work in TV news so I'll see people around my building for various different things. Off the top of my head...I've seen John Krasinski, Joan Rivers (scary!), Julianne Moore, and Jimmy Fallon physically ran into my husband once when we were walking out of my building, haha. My coworker was on an elevator with Tracy Morgan once and said he was very odd. I guess that's not surprising

    ETA: I love Hollywood stuff so I'm always totally starstruck, but I pretend to be cool and just take little sideways looks!

    Living in Music City for 10+ years, there have been lots and lots but my favorite has to be Wynonna. She used to ask me how I was doing with my violin. It was kind of magical since I was about fourteen when we first met and I was surprised I had left such a lasting impression on a star!

    I think I have a few, but the only one that comes to mind is not stellar - I saw Liev Schreiber (scream movies, x-men movies) walking his dog in Manhattan with his girlfriend (or maybe wife?).

    @PrincessBaby: Same with Carmen Electra - seriously miniscule!

    I met Prince Charles (when he was still married to Diana) when I was a kid. I also met Dale Earnhardt (twice!) before he died and Bo Jackson.

    @Mrs. Bee: I would have died. Tom Hanks is my all time favorite actor (and celebrity in general). I don't think I'd want to meet him, though, because I'd hate to be disappointed. He's perfection.

    Mine aren't very exciting. Michael Jordan was staying at Atlantis in the Bahamas at the same time as us, so we saw him at breakfast and gambling. And in Vegas I almost plowed into Gene Simmons from Kiss coming out of the bathroom at Ceasars. I also sat like two slots over from Reverend Run at the Wynn and Russell Simmons was playing cards nearby.

    I was chatting away with Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster) for a while until I realized it was her. We were at a restaurant and I commented on how cute her baby was and ended up chit chatting for 10 minutes. Then she went over and sat down next to James Van Der Beek and that's when noticed it was her.

    I also run into Mel Gibson a lot because he has a studio in the Santa Monica area. Oh, I met Jack Nicholson at a Lakers game. I commented that he had a nice coat and he said "thanks". haha. I get star-struck easily.

    @banana: I would be a total spaz if I saw Jack Nicholson . . . I can even hear him in my head telling you *thanks.*

    I was at Barnard in NYC when Julia stiles was at Columbia, and we bumped into each other crossing the street. I think that's it!

    We sat with Davey Jones on a plane once - super nice guy. Hines Ward checked out through my line at Bed, Bath, and Beyond once in Pittsburgh - also super nice. I saw Jeremy Piven walking down the street in NYC (Tribeca). In LA I saw The Rock at the Guitar Center store - he's actually quite short, believe it or not!

    And I used to hang around the guys from Fuel a lot - before they were big they played little shows at Media Play (remember that store?) and we went all the time. We got to know Brett Scallion's little brother, so we got to meet the guys in the band several times. They were kinda douchy, especially Brett.

    Saw Madonna leaving the Kabbalah centre in NY. But the most starstruck I've ever been was when I sat next to Jason Bateman at a vegan restaurant in west Hollywood....I've watched arrested development so many times I was surprised he didn't recognize me from my living room.

    Hmmm ... Kevin Spacey during college at a screening. And I had dinner next to Newt Gingrich and his posse in Vegas last year. That was interesting! I want to know how much hairspray his wife goes through.

    Oh does Chelsea Clinton count? I chatted with her for a few minutes at a diner, back when Bill was president. We were both in college at the time.
