    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Ever meet someone famous?

All I can think of is getting the autographs of a few (OK, a lot of) professional golfers, either this summer, or have my Dad bring me some from five or six years ago. I've probably met someone else, but I can't think of them at the time, so I'll probably edit this.

Actually, my cousin's an actor, though relatively unknown as he's only on one TV show on CBC, which is Canadian.

EDIT: Staying true to my word I guess. My mom met Yvan Cournoyer, a Hall of Fame hockey player in a bar once. She also saw Princess Di at Expo 86.

I met Authur Slade when I was in elementary school :0 he wrote Dust and Tribes. He read some of Dust to our class.

...great now I wanna read Dust again.
 
Further to my previous post:

Jason Webley slept on my sister's couch once. And I've (very briefly) met Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman, China Mieville, James Watson, A.C. Grayling, and Anthony Giddens among other less well known people. And if you happen to be a geologist it might impress you that one of my lecturers last year was Simon Conway Morris.
 
I've met Guy Fieri? My mom does blogging and shit for the food network.

Also CF Payne (the guy who did the Obama illustration for Time magazine) teaches at my school and I'm probably going to take his class.
 
I met Theo Hutchcraft and Adam Anderson (from Hurts) after their concert in Brussels. By met I mean I was part of the crowd surrounding them, waited while I was pushed forward and eventually ended up sort of all in Theo's personal space while Adam signed my ticket. It was pretty awkward but oh well! They're both really handsome in real life.
 
Cristina Vee! She signed my copy of Continuum Shift, and we still talk occasionally and play League of Legends together once in a while :D She's really nice -w-
 
Personally, no, though it is a life goal of mine to meet Lady Gaga. And Madonna.

My mother, however, had a conversation with Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. The woman who has had five Billboard Hot 100 top five hits as a solo artist and a crapton more with the Peas, and one of my favorite singers.
They met in a bar after a Gwen Stefani concert. Will.I.Am was there with Fergie.
Anyway, she sat at the table right next to my mom. My mom handed her a dollar on which was written, "You kicked Gwen's ASS tonight", since the Peas were at the time Stefani's opening act. My mother and Fergie had a friendly conversation and Fergie proceeded to keep the dollar.
 
I have the autographs of Mark and Craig Kielburger, the guys who started Free the Children :o
 
I can't recall personally meeting anybody famous, but I was around Hugh Jackman for a while due to being an extra in Real Steel.

You were an extra? :O

Yes I was, in the carnival scene near the beginning. I was in the stands watching Ambush fight the bull. Made lots of cash.

I'm also friends with Sam Raimi's...nephew? I think he's his nephew. He doesn't brag about it or anything so I'm not 100% sure of his relation.
 
My father has the unique honor of being the only person to ever do business with Michael Jackson and have no idea who he was.
 
Ignoring me just being in the same room and book signings where we exchanged a few words, not really.

Neil Gaiman went to a friend of my mum's wedding.
 
I AM CARMEN SAN DIEGO.
Met Jay Mohr at a gas station, and Jack Black at the airport. :3
