Living in L.A. is hilarious. Everywhere you go, you see celebs. Most of the time they're trying not to be noticed, but every so often you get them in their attention-seeking glory.
Just a few minutes ago I saw Samuel L Jackson coming out of the grocery store in shorts and a t-shirt and a bucket hat pulled down low - nice and inconspicuous, but he's still Sam Jackson and draws attention.
It caught me a bit of guard, so I didn't say anything, but I'll say "hi" next time.

near enough every time we've gone to london we've seen a celeb. You probably wouldn't know most of them.
Two I can think of are Michael Winner and Chris Eubank.
Also in Paris we saw Liz Hurley.

I've met Dave Matthews, I worked for a trainer at the racetrack and helped train his horses. He even gave me and the rest of the people that work there tickets to his yearly show at SPAC(Saratoga Perfoming Arts Center) I've met both David Cassidy and Danny Bonaduce. They are kinda like celebrities. I actually know David pretty well, I used to talk to him almost everyday at work, when I worked at the racetrack, because the trainer I was working for was training a few of his horses. Infact one of his horses, me and the groom were the only ones that could even touch the horse, because the horse was a big money horse, and the only person it liked was me and the groom, so they didn't want it flipping out and hurting itself because somebody else was taking care of it. The horse was really head-shy, accept for me, it would only let me touch its head. From a scar or two I guess it was beaten in the head when it was young..... Anyways yeah..... I really like horses as you can tell. Oh yeah... I've also met the Fucillo guy that has the car dealerships and is on tv alot with his commercial where he goes..... HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE! He does it in every commercial, so if you don't know who he is then that might help you recognize him. I also met hima t the track when I was working for another trainer and trained his horses.
Ok so those were the lame ones....Now the cool one was when I met Serj Tankian in NYC one time when he was at CBGB's. That was fucking cool shit.

I once saw Godsmack.
At a concert.
Like 60 feet back from the stage....
I have honestly never seen anyone famous. My sister actually got to meet Godsmack, the entire band, at the boston music awards about 4 years ago. And she squandered the opportunity because she decided something her husband did pissed her off so she was a bitch to them.
not only was that shitty because she blew an opportunity to hang out with a band that has a reputation of being cool to fans, but they are also childhood friends with her husband...
and trust me, my sister doesnt get like that legitimately, she is about the most petty person i have ever known. Of course, she laughs when she tells the story, like she was cool for being a bitch to famous people. god im glad i dont speak to her...

Not that I don't know atleast one person from like every YTV show ever, but I remember going to zellers when I was staying with a friend in Montreal and seeing the boy from big wolf on campus working behind the cash. Can you sign my receipt? omg
People keep telling me it was impossible that it was him because he's been working on other shows the whole time since the show and I was like hello I used to watch that show all the time when I was 13 and that was Tommy Dawkins ringing up my cds k
I haven't seen anybody.
James Woods grew up in R.I. and his parents still live here....he gets spotted a lot at bars and such on his visits home......just not by me.

Last time I was in LA, which was only for 4 days, I saw Adam Sandler at Barney's Beanery, John Cryer at The Troubador and Macy Gray at Amoeba.
A friend of mine bought John Cryer a drink and shot the shit with him a little bit but we didn't talk to Sandler or Macy Gray at all.

I saw Sandler coming out of a Subway (go figure) about two months ago and Mr. T was at the local Whole Foods.
I see Bob Saget constantly, he must live in the neighborhood.
Also see Tom Kinney (Spongebob) quite regularly and Brian Poshein shops at my comic book store most Wednesdays.
Colin Farrel makes an appearance at my kid's school about twice a year when he's hanging with another actor friend of his (and mine) Shea Wigham.
Jay Leno speeds down the Boulevard in wacky automobiles and Roger Daltry lives close - I see him from time to time.

That made my day. :D
My sister dated Kyle Switzer from 15/Love (a YTV show) and Reaper. He was in my house and we talked about kung-fu and zombie movies for half an hour before their date. He's shorter than he looks on tv.
I've met Jay Ferguson from Sloan. Wicked cool guy.

I met and talked to Will Ferrell in Chicago for about 10 minutes- it was at a premiere and I (caught?) him in a very unusually uncrowded corner, but he was very friendly- said he enjoyed seeing young interest there- and ended up putting his arm around me and leading me to none other than Dustin Hoffman (my very favorite actor)! That was, like, the coolest thing that ever happened to me.
I met Patricia Neal and Farley Granger at the Music Box in Chicago as well.

Yeah I know, my family use to watch Full House like everynight when I was a kid, I started hating it after a while, but yeah I would have never thought that he was a comedian(I didn't know what one was back then really, and when I was old enough to know what it was it never clicked that he was a comedian), much less such a dirty one, until a couple years ago when I watched one of his stand-ups and I was shocked, I'm like "Did Danny Tanner just say that?!"

That reminds me of a dream I had the other night.
I went to this crappy little Psycho-like motel out in the middle of nowhere and there are junkies and whores and David Duchovney drunk off his ass and then there's Vincent D'Onofrio "in character"..he's doing a movie about a man obsessed with something(I didn't quite catch what) and his teeth are all rotten and he's SKINNY.
I hang with Vincent and drunk David...they are funny as hell.
After David finally passes out in one of the MEN'S room and Vincent is leaving for Hollywood..I ask him if he ever runs into Sean Keller to give him a big kiss from me...and guess what?
He has Sean on speed dial:D

One of my faveorites was running into Bill Hunter at 2am back in 2000, he was asking me for directions to the Imperial Hotel in Sydney.. I was of my face and ended saying hell knows what to him, I think he was a bit confused when he headed of.
But we were no where near the place, at least 15 mins walk anyway, where did he come from, he just appeard on the corner...
YOu most likely don't know who Bill Hunter is... just in case.
