He is lovely

My Dad LOVES him! I got him 2nd row tix for Father's Day one year and my Mom said he was like the entire show.

I'd love to meet him.

it was years ago now, but I remember him being kind of shy and reserved and thoughtful. My boyfriend and I kind of cornered him in the street, but not in a very rude way he looked lost, so we asked him if he was OK and needed directions. He wanted to get to a record store so we took him to one, and he signed autographs for us and gave us Lucille pins he had in his pocket

Nah. I've met too many of them and have had to spend too much time with them in closed quarter circumstances. They're people who eat, shit, and fart just like the rest of us, with personalities that are just as flawed. There has been one exception though. I've always adored Dixie Carter ( aka Julia Sugarbaker from iconic southern comedy Designing Women), and getting a chance to meet her beyond cool- she was an extraordinarily gracious and elegant woman- and I'm a sucker for that. I think if I met Streisand or Diana Ross ( I do know one of her songwriter/producer/back-up singers pretty well, so it could happen), I would be a little flustered inside. I love beautiful, glamourous, old school women from my childhood who wield tremendous amounts of power- so I could be tickled to meet those two. Beyond those two examples, I'm not really moved one way or the other by celebrities.

Out of the folk I've met the only one I was (unexpectedly) starstruck with was Bette Midler.

Lawd I was a hammanahammanahammana fool getting my book signed.

She's like 2 inches tall and her hands (which I just had to hold ) are the size and as delicate as a baby chick.

um, Ron's Tina Fey story begs to differ. He had Erin and me LOL'ing on the floor.

I went to a premiere and sat next to the guy who played shooter mcgavin in happy gilmore

I want to sit next to McLovin!

Not anymore. Living in L.A. makes you kinda numb with all the celebrity culture shoved down your throat on a daily basis. You encounter stars all the time out here. Stars doing normal things. People pretty much leave them alone. I've seen all kinds of stars from the A list to D list and really it's not that big a deal. The one and only time I literally felt strange, wanted to continue to stare back, I guess felt the presence of a huge personality was seeing Madonna and her daughter Lourdes. Although they seemed quite normal. Typical mother-daughter banter about clothes--I was walking down Rodeo Drive for my morning Starbucks and their they were coming out of a store. I literally came to a complete stop before the paparazzi came out of the goddamn woodwork and scared the shit out of everybody.

the newer celebs put them selves out there to much it no mystery anymore

internet /tmz/blogs killed the "celebrity" mystery

just like the video killed the radio star

As Ive gotten older there are NO celebs that truely excite me.

I've never gotten starstruck....and I've met some people worth meeting.....but if I were to meet Stevie Wonder, I would probably have to suppress some type of emotion....I admire that man and have since I was a young child.

I remember a couple of years ago, he appeared on American Idol and one of the dudes just busted out into tears and told him that he had such respect for him, and that he was honored to be there with him.....and I thought...wow....that is similar to how I would probably be...

Everybody else...well, I'd be happy to meet them but cool as a cucumber.
