Jackie Chan, Robin Williams, Bret Michaels, Carlos Mencia, Scarlett "droool" Johansen. Working USO shows has some cool benefits. My all time favorite was Bruce Campbell. I met him in Dallas ten years ago at a book signing. I was dead last in line, but he stayed three hours after closing to make sure that everyone got to meet him, and he actually carried on real conversations with everyone. That's a stand up kind of guy. Most stars are all full of themselves and can't be bothered to stay even a minute over the scheduled time.
Jack Black in a Starbucks at the Dubai airport. He laughed at me for spilling hot chocolate all over my bag. Damn yooouuu, Jack Black, damn yooouu!
EDIT: I also saw Julie Andrews at Disneyland once, but I was too afraid to go up to her for fear of breaking into The Sound of Music. So I looked on in shame with a churro in my right hand... mmm, sugary fat sticks.
I'm not sure if these count, but:
My dad's met Aung San Suu Kyi and both of my parents have met Ban Ki-Moon.
I am three degrees (of separation) from, ahem, bin Laden. Yeah.
They cannot hold their liquor, but most were actually quite nice. I can't tell you exactly which ones though because in private they do not go by their stage names (and I'm not subjecting myself to that garbage so I can tell who was who). I do have quite a bit of video of them trying to do some scenes while completely drunk, it's comedy gold.
No one, unless you count walking past a church where Prince Charles and Princess Diana were stood outside... But I didnt meet them so no, I disqualify myself.
When i used to work in the French Quarter down here in New Orleans, I met quite a few celebrities. Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, O.J. (kinda creepy), John Goodman, Chris McDonald, over half of the New Orleans Saints, Snoop Dog, Reel Big Fish, Kevin Costner, Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, Elijah Wood and Sean Astin. Living at the start of one of the major mardi gras parade routes helps too with meeting famous people.
