Beano Lane - I met woopi goldberg at the worlds biggest bookstore in toronto, I was in a line buying a book, I said to my friend "Wow does that lady ever look like woopi goldberg" She turned to us and said "thats because I am woopi goldberg, girlfriend" She was really cool. I got an autograph and she even put " Star Trek sucks underneath her signature "
I met courtney love at Glastonbury last year,all her bodyguards and entourage were saying c'mon courtney we gotta go but she made them wait til I spoke to her..how sweet! I asked for a photo, told her how rad I thought hole were and she said "thanks sweetie, ohmigod you english grrls are soooo refined!"

I once saw Mark Little (the Australian guy who hosted the Big Breakfast last year) at Edinburgh Airport.
This is pretty poor but I also once (almost) flattened Michael Palin in Dublin, when I was cycling near Trinity College. He was wearing that Englishman Aboard pale coloured linen suit we all know and love.

I saw George Melly in Stoke once. Oh that's even poorer. - Sirfarosa

I've managed to meet a lot of people before/after concerts. I've met tori Amos twice, getting an autograph the first time, and an autograph, a picture, a hug, a song request, and a 5 minute conversation with her the second time. She played "Take to the Sky" for me and another girl that very night!
I've also met Smashing Pumpkins, Fiona Apple, Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney) and Harvey Danger, all involving conversations, pictures, and autographs.... I love my luck!

PlanetGrrl Helens  - 1 Lenny Kravitz / Ray Davies. Met him at Glastonbury a few years ago. Had blagged my way behind the Pyramid stage to meet the Kinks as they are one of my all-time favourite bands, and Lenny wanders past as I'm genuflucting to Ray Davies in a 'I'm not worthy' manner. I shout "nice set Lenny" and he comes over thanks me and gives me a kiss. Trouble is I was so overcome with meeting Ray Davies I didn't take much notice. Doh! Loads of the groupies gave me daggers though. Nice chap. Shorter than you'd expect. Apparently Helens got more stories to tell but she won't divulge. boo!! Make her.

Danielle, dan@totum-dependeat.demon.co.uk - I once saw Esther Ranzen. She had teeth like Mr.Ed., and skin like a crocodile handbag.

Nancy, baldness@geocities.com Does Mike Kasem count as someone famous? i met him twice and the first time i asked him what he was doing that night from the crowd, and i hugged him, and the second time i hugged him and gave him a kiss on both cheeks. oh and I've met this indian star Shah Rukh Khan (though i doubt anyone'd know him) but he's hot, and i went shopping with him an ok actually we stalked him while he shopped, and he got mighty pissed. anyway. But my friend met Ricky Martin when he was leaving the airport and he invited her into the car (he was sitting in it) and they talked for an hour and she sat on his lap and took pictures. that bitch.

Poe,FreakGir1@aol.com, I met Leo DiCapprio once. It was at a friends house shed grown up w/ him he was really nice. I took a pic w/ him. He was wearing a handbag.

One of the PlanetGrrl contributors who used to live 'up north' got caught shoplifting at the age of 14 with a famous female star from a famous Northern soap. ( we dont want to say who incase someone sues us or something ). AnonGrrl also adds 'We were in the same class at school AND I beat her in an audition for a part in the O-level drama production of Gregory's Girl!'.

PlanetGrrl Sam was in the pub next door when Monica Lewinsky popped into Bryans for some Fish and Chips.(Located In Leeds, England). Jules says ' I think Bryans is waay over-rated, and their chips really suck ;) '

I once met BEN Harper.He let us go in from the backdoor with him,he was so friendly.He invited me and my boyfriend to smoke to the hotel he stayed at. I once met DJ Cam .One of our friends was working at the club where he was gonna play that night.So we met at his house,had some chat and smoked... Later that night we went to a club and shared a glass of non alcoholic fruit cocktail...Thats all for now....Aly
Once I nearly ran my pushbike up John Hurt's arse, when I was a cycle courier. He was outside of a sound production company in Soho. I was tearing out of an alley to my delivery, and he was bending down to pick up something off the pavement. Very near miss......","
Garaint I was introduced to Princess anne once. She's at least 50 times better-looking than you might imagine and has the best pair of legs I've ever seen. She also looks as if she's got a body to die for.
