So back story is basically... I've been wanting to meet several celebrities since I can remember... but it seems eitherA. You have to live somewhere huge... like LA, or NY.. B. You have to have some kind of sickness or something C. You have to also be famous/rich/whatever D. Be SUPER lucky and just "run" into one Considering none of the above apply to me, do I have any chance of meeting a celebrity? I have one in mind that I really want to meet (Angelina Jolie). It's getting to the point of where I'd literally give a kidney up to meet her. I'm your average person. No sicknesses, diseases, ect. Is there people you can talk to? I mean I don't want to have to pay like 1 million bucks to have a face to face conversation... I don't know. I would really like to try to... accomplish this, so any... advice/input/ect is very welcome. Thanks for reading

dude, you say you're average, but your handle is elitemike?As for celebrities, most of them could care less if they met you. The ones i've met are usually athletes, and unless you're dying and they're your hero, they could really care less. as for my dream celebrity to meet, it would totally be natalie portman.

Are YOU kidding me? How the hell am I suppose to walk up and say hi when they're like 1283942375 miles away? It was a simple question. Yes, if I saw someone famous at a gas station I would say hello. But in a crap state like Illinois, I don't think that's gunna happen ANYTIME soon.

I once got dragged by a couple of my buddies to stand in line for 8 hours to meet Dream Theater for about a minute. It's a neat story, but it's hardly worth it. Also, might want to be deleting this thread--you're not gonna undo the momentum of that kidney comment right about now. __________________ MOTL's answer to Billy Crystal.

My friend's house is next to Oprah's boyfriend's (or something like that) home in Ithaca NY. He trespasses on her property all the time in an attempt to see her, but she's never there. He's never actually seen anyone there. I met Haydn Panetierre (no way it's spelled like that), the girl that plays Claire in Heroes at Gencon last year. She's not nearly as hot in real life. I've also had dinner with Bill Nye. I was at a friend's house, whose father was a personal friend of Mr. Nye. I didn't know beforehand, but he was having dinner there that night. He was in town for the weekend to give a few speeches at cornell. He taught me how to use a slide rule. Really nice guy. Lastly, I've shaken hands with Jane Goodall, though I didn't really know who she was at the time.

Even if you ran into one on the street, more than likely they do not want to be bothered by you.Allen Iverson used to shop at my store all the time when he was still with the Sixers. I knew from stories I heard about him not to try to talk to him, so anytime I saw him I just gave him the head nod, in which he nodded back. I didn't want to have a negative expierence with him, so I didn't interact with him any further. As for the kidney...

The only time i've ever "run into" a celebrity, I almost ran into her bodyguard. It was about 2:30 in the morning last august in the Planet Hollywood hotel in Vegas, and I almost walk right into Pam Anderson's bodyguard. Good thing I didn't too close to her, I don't want to get the hepatitis. She looked awful too.
