I also ran nearly crashed into Fred Armisen on a rental bike which was way too big for me. I'm not sure he noticed, because it was an intersection so he may not have seen me, but I came within inches of knocking him clean off his bicycle and severely injuring myself. He's a fine biker, I guess? Instead I hit a street sign.
I passed Julianne Moore's family at a beach vacation and she is just as beautiful in person, although looked really irritated and messy given that it was raining and about 500 degrees.
Saw Will Ferrell on the NY subway and told my husband very loudly and within earshot, "that guy looks like Will Ferrell." WF laughed and I immediately hid my face in embarrassment.
I did the same thing, but with the PRESIDENT. Bill Clinton looks like any other white guy from behind, I guess, and somehow not realizing the fifty million guys wearing uniforms around him were Secret Service remarked to my child, "Wow, he has the same haircut as the president."

We met Rob Lowe in Sun Valley when I was in high school. We were at a restaurant and one of our family friends said "hey, are you Rob Lowe?" He said "yes I am" and chatted with us for a few minutes. He was with his family and he was just a super nice guy.
Smoked a cigarette with Philip Seymour Hoffman. We were just making small talk and then someone came up and started asking him about his movies. He became really uncomfortable. He was a bit awkward, but even more so when he was being made to talk about himself. Very nice person though.

I used to really love My Ruin. Loved Tairrie B since her Tura Satana days. Met her a couple of years ago and she was an absolute nasty bitch. Can't bear to listen to anything by her anymore.

Stephen Furst (Dr. Eliot Axelrod from "St. Elsewhere
I went to school with him. The funny thing is -- he always thought he would be successful.

Shared an elevator and pleasant conversation with Timothy Busfield.
Not exactly a meeting, but around 20 years ago Oliver North was campaigning/running for something at my Metro station. He was shaking hands and in just a moment's conversation I was mesmerized (my husband was horrified when I told him my reaction later). Turns out he has that politician's charisma. Who knew?

So I didn't actually meet them but years ago when Alec Baldwin and Kim B. had just had their daughter Ireland, I walked right past the 3 of them on the beach at Figure Eight Island, NC. I think I did stare but didn't have my mouth hanging open.

Of course, but she has a reputation as being not-as-nice as we'd like our ice princesses that probably started with her behavior during the medal ceremony.

I guess her reputation is well-deserved.
She is probably not the angel the press made her out to be. I think her brother killed her dad not long ago.
?? When did the press ever make her out to be an "angel"??
Maybe during the knee bashing incident and as compared to Tonya Harding, but then Nancy Kerrigan went to Disney World and said nasty things about a Disney parade while sitting next to Mickey Mouse.

I ran into Paul Simon while walking my dog on Capitol Hill. The senator, not the songwriter. We exchanged pleasant hellos.
Chatted with Max Cleland while waiting for a cab at National. Very amiable, until his security brusquely rushed him out of there.
Stood in front of Smokey Robinson in the Southwest curbside check-in line in Vegas. He was traveling by himself, carrying his own bag. Very nice guy.
