I met Shammond Williams, Antione Jameson, Vince Carter, and Jerry Stackhouse for the first time in their dorm about 6 hours after they made the Sweet 16 in '96 (or was it '96?). My best friend lived with Shammond at the time.
I had drinks and watched a concert with Carter Beauford (drummer, Dave Matthews Band). LeRoi showed up about half an hour later and sat with us for a bit. We had met Carter several times before and he actually asked to sit at our table. Tim Reynolds was playing to a bar of about 30 folks.
Met Kevin Smith once at a buddys house. Evidently, he was a friend of a friend and came over for a little get together.
Sat about 10 seats from Omar Epps a few years back at an NCAA regional Ohio State was playing in.
Met Charles Barkley during an NCAA regional game in which Auburn was playing. Had a couple drinks with him. Just as funny in person as he is on TV.
Got to me David Faustino (sp? Bud from Married with Children) at a UT Vol football game one afternoon. He is really short but was real nice.

Karen is the national anthem singer for the Red Wings. Not really a celeb outside of Michigan. She is a hottie though...

Saw? Ozzy Osbourne
Met? John Pettrucci, James LaBrie, and Jordan Ruddess from Dream Theater and 2 Live Crew.
Edit: Dream Theater and Ozzy were after the concerts were over. 2 Live Crew was at a hotel in Jackson, MS.
Jared from Subway was at our station for two days last week.
Edit 2: Oh, and I went to college with Deuce McAllister.

I met Angelina Jolie and her kid (damn she's hot. And her kid is really cute) when she was shooting her latest movie here in Montreal this summer.
I saw Sarah Michelle Gellar eating on the terrace at a restaurant.
Crossed Drew Carey when I was walking home from downtown.
I saw Ben Affleck at a strip club (no joke) and at the supermarket. I think this was during the shooting for The Sum of All Fears.
I met Matt Groening, Dan Castelanetta, Yeardley Smith, Nancy Cartwright and Hank Azaria after their live show.
And I saw Bono from across the street and Shakira during the shooting of a TV show.
I know I've met more, but I can't remember them. They shoot so many movies in Montreal.

Mark from blink182, while cutting class during my senior year in high school to go play some pool with friends. It was in the city on 18th street. He was with his girlfriend, and we passed by them. I was like "whoa its Mark" (I was a big time blink182 fan at the time, before they became all big on MTV). My friend had no idea who he was, but had heard a few of their songs before, so when we both turned around so my friend could get his autograph, they both turned around at the same time too and asked us for directions. I forgot exactly what they were looking for, but I remember it was only like 2-3 blocks away. We told them where it was, my friend got his autograph, then we proceeded to go to the billiards 🙂 They were in town that week for a few shows I believe.
Vin Diesel. His sister ran the afterschool program at my high school (btw she is HOT!), and we were opening a new roof garden, so he came for the opening. This was a few months before Fast & the Furious came out, so all the high school girls were going crazy over him when he got up on stage and took off his jacket and showed off his muscles. (This was a small school, from 6-12th grade, about 1000 kids total, 500 in middle school, another 500 in high school)
