Bono was the most famous, and I say that because all other celebrities treat him as above them. It's a different level of fame.

He's a jerk, by so many accounts. I haven't met him but I went to a film panel thing he was on. He looked like a caveman in person- gigantic head, hunched over...

I have met Sonia Sotomayor, Sandra Boynton, Joshua Bell, Conan O'Brien, Andy Richter, Carson Daly, Scott Thompson (Kids in the Hall), Topher Grace, Bill Paxton (R.I.P.), various Whose Line is it Anyway people, Mike Myers, Kate Flannery from The Office (which I never watched, I met her before that) and lots of bands/ musicians. I worked in the music industry for a looong time. I was probably the most nervous meeting Scott Thompson, because I had been a fan for so long (and by that time I had generally gotten over my fear/ awe of famous people, since I worked for them, but for some reason, I was very anxious). He was so sweet.

I avoided bumping into Blythe Danner (literally) at the NY Film Festival last year. She's so tall, she would have knocked me right over.

I'm PP. I forgot Richard Kiley! I worked in a cafe one summer and brought him a lemon poppy muffin and coffee every morning.

Jim Neighbors. Near his home on Diamond head. I was running the hills while training for a marathon.

Sinbad! 4am at the Dallas airport. I was exhausted and traveling alone with my then 1 year old. My DH was deployed during Desert Storm. He bought me a muffin. So sweet!

Shep Smith. Many, many times. He has a condo in Oxford and goes to a lot of home games. I've been to several parties with him.

No one super big, but I'm easily impressed.

I did too. This was in the '90s. I was so into those Lookout (label) bands.

My husband met Gwen Stefani in the '90s, said she was aloof and unfriendly to everyone there (he was a roadie and driver for some bands for a few years, made friends with a lot of 1990s alt type bands; Gwen Stefani was the only one he really had anything negative to say about).
