Met Orson Scott Card at a book signing for Shadow Puppets a few years back. I got there early and just kinda stood around and shot the breeze with him. Nice guy.
Also, Gym Class Heroes and He Is Legend (separate occasions of course).
Oh, and Brooke Hogan. You know, Hulk's daughter? That's, uh.... that's a lot of woman right there.

Met the guy once, too. Seemed nice enough. A fan-girl friend of mine wanted him to sign her boobs, but he's Mormon, so that was a no go. Totally awkward.

How can you be a fangirl and not know the most basic shit about the person they're obsessed about?
She's dumb as a brick. Seriously. Most of her fan-girl-ism (is that even how you're supposed to write it?) comes from stuff she made up on her own. It's like her own life is a terrible fan-fiction she writes as she goes along.

He and she grabbed for a shirt at the same time and he did the whole "be awkward and stutter" thing before he eventually handed to her and walked away, still stuttering softly
it was actually mildly creepy

I can't fucking wait for his character to die. They can keep him obese on a deserted island for so long before he's gotta be offed, no matter how many cookie jars he secretly scruffs down.

I met Arnold Schwarzenegger when I was a kid. Saw his Humvee too.
A bit of background: my dad was the food and beverage director at a particular hotel in San Pedro, California. The hotel was best known for its marina, where the Schwarzenegger film Collateral Damage was going to film a scene or something like that. Arnold stayed at the hotel, I met Arnold when he was checking it and pulled up in his car.
Fun fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger will only eat one kind of oatmeal and requires it to be in any hotel room he is going to check into.

Man, I love the dude, I just want to see how he goes. It's gotta be awesome. Like, fucking saving Locke from a surprise smoke-monster attack, his chins all flapping around as he dies heroically.

or maybe he can stay alive like the weird forward flashback things suggest

and man the koreans better not die either
Aww hell no, what's going on there is way too good to kill. Still though, Hurly had better lose at least some weight before season 4 ends, or that tubby motherfucker has got to go.
I guess it all depends on the definition of "met" and "famous" here.

So Awesome.

Oh, and Brooke Hogan. You know, Hulk's daughter? That's, uh.... that's a lot of woman right there.
And by "met," I mean, "They sped by in rickshaws."
Met the guy once, too. Seemed nice enough. A fan-girl friend of mine wanted him to sign her boobs, but he's Mormon, so that was a no go. Totally awkward.
Haha, way to go.
