Wasn't that Killian Murphy? Also seen recently in Red Eye.

I once stood shoulder to shoulder with Michael Jackson, didn't even know it was him until the body guards started approaching me from all angles. In fact I was paying absolutely no attention to him what-so-ever, those guys were agressive. That was in 2000, in a computer outlet shop on Fifth Avenue in New York, during the same trip also greeted the Corrs who were performing on the Good Morning America show.

I know that Holly will be envious, but I've also met and greeted A-ha. No one else will care, but there you go.

Jack charlton sat in my car back in 1990 when me mum and dad organised this massive fundraiser for london Irish rfc in London.It was so exciting-he sat in the front and he was so tall his head scrapped of the roof of the car-i was totally dumbstruck.I had a huge kiddies crush on packie bonner after italia 90 that when jack said do i want to ask him anything i just said how is packie bonner' and he just laughed at me-never been allowed near a famous person since.

I've met lots of famous people. There is a radio ad at the moment talking about Ronnie Delaney, who won Olympic gold for Ireland in Melbourne in 1956 in the 1500 metres. That was before my time but I did meet him once. I was just thinking about it this morning when that ad was on again.

NEVER!

I met a few people when I was in LA, but the only famous person that I met here was Ray D'arcy when I was in TodayFM getting a grand tour.

In LA there was some of the guys from Desperate Housewives, the OC, StarGate SG1 and 24. They were working in Universal Studios. I also saw the black guy from Terminator 2, he was the one that designed the chips based on the CPU recovered from the first Terminator. He was nearly killed by John Connors mother. He was outside the Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd when we were there looking at the footprints of all the actors.

I've met her (in the old fashioned sense of the word ) before. She's unbelievably hot in person.

I also met Richie "Aon focal, dha focail" Kavanagh in the Blanch Centre where he was making the video for his follow-up single. Something to do with a mobile phone, anybody?

Nightwish

i saw Richie Kavanagh at a Des Bishop show in Cleeres in Kilkenny about 2 years ago.

440Hz

Met some of Bell X1 there a few weeks back. Stood next to John Malcovich in a queue but didnt wanna look totally psycho so just kept nudging my sis to show her, and then pretending not to recognise him. Same story with Sir Macca, sat near him at a concert in London recently. I once touched Bruce Willis' tee-shirt as well. He threw it out of the window in Planet Hollywood Leicester Sq, and I caught it, but then I was pounced on by crazy girls and the tee-shirt ended up in tiny shreds. boo.

Binomate

Adam clayton, Mary Benotti (if she counts). Two of my goals in life are to meet Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder.

Chris Evans was sitting next to me at a london bar last night
