    I met that boyband Busted on a plane once. They were total posers.

    Saw Tom Jones at the airport, trying to keep a low profile.

    Saw Carson Daly in New York back when he used to present TRL, he looked so stuck up.

    I saw Jennifer Lopez in New York a few years ago at a free concert thing and I met her a few weeks ago in London (we have a mutual friend hah), she was lovely and very down to earth.

    Met Edith Bowman at a music show recording in London, she was lovely and down to earth as well!

    There are loads more but these random ones come to mind right now.

    The most recent one I saw was Prince Charles a few weeks ago, I was at an event in Hyde Park in London and he made a surprise appearance. In fact, I managed to get in his way and he had to walk around me... Oops

    I was in the audience of the Graham Norton show last week, Graham Norton spoke to us beforehand because one of my friends was in the group for the Red Chair (she didn't go in the chair on the actual show though, which is a shame!) He's really nice! Janet Jackson was on the show with Tyler Perry (who I had never heard of), Marcus Brigstocke, and Eric Idle (didn't get to meet him :( but he performed Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life :))

    I served Mark Williams (the guy from the Fast Show, also plays Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter films) in the shop I work in, just before Christmas

    (on that note - last summer I served Devon Murray, the guy who plays Seamus Finnegan in Harry Potter, not sure that counts?)

    I'm almost afraid to say it in AH, but... I have also met Bono

    Met a few.. Brian McFadden spilled drink on me at the opening of a niteclub in Drogheda, and I met Kerry at the same thing (she was grand back then)

    Also met Natalie Imbruglia and John Rocha at a charity event in Dublin a few years ago

    But the best was chatting to Bill & Hilary Clinton for about 5 minutes when they were in Dundalk advocating the peace process.. really top fella he is

    I have seen the man, the legend, Brendan Kilkenny on more than one occasion. Yes, yes... I know you don't believe me. That's why one time, I took a photo! *smug* ;)

    Is that the old 25 bustop?

    The accident...:(

    Anyway, I was in close proximity to Brendan Gleeson, Jim Broadbent at a premier. I've met Dustin after a show. Ardal O'Hanlon.

    Denis Irwin signed my football boots.

    Can't believe I forgot to mention him. I met him several times at his show, he's hilarious. I never quite understand why people want to be on the red chair though :eek:

    I was convinced i saw William Shatner 2-3 months ago in Dublin.
    Passed him on the street and i couldn't help staring.

    Anyone know if he was in Ireland recently.

    One of the westlife lads got married in our village, i was in the pub having a pint with a few of the lads and Brian McFadden, Kerry Catona and Louis Walsh sat next to us. One of the lads whispered 'check out the size of her tits!' and Louis heard him and broke his shít laughing.
    Went outside and saw Ronan Keating and the westlife lads, also the weasle Ahern and his daughters

    Saw Pierce Brosnan in the same pub on another occasion

    I think she was regretting it as well once we were actually inside the studio! Maybe that's why she wasn't chosen to go in the chair, you could almost see the panic on her face towards the end!

    Dammit. I'm pretty sure she was going to be my example as well.

    Jesus she's a f*cking wagon, isn't she?

    Pierce Brosnan - cool as ice, was bond at the time - Loves fishing - one of the house-keeping girls went to his room for turndown on his second day, he had been fishing - not to rush into the room, she knocked, waited, knocked again, waited he slowly walked up behind her and whispered in her ear, in that voice that women seem to love "I dont think hes in" Made her year!

    This is brilliant. Nice one, Brosnan.
