Oh, I forgot Vivica A. Fox... seen her a couple times.
Penn and Teller. Teller taught me (okay, a group including me ) how to bend a spoon my mind and I ate lunch at the same table as Penn where there some some chatter.
Adam Savage (Mythbusters) who is super super nice. The Amazing Randi, also shook his hand.
Do famous scientists or academics count? Most widely known ones would be Neil deGrasse Tyson and Phil Zimbardo... Maybe Elizabeth Loftus. Phil Plait, author and runs one of most trafficked science blogs. He recognized my name as Armenian and was familiar with Khatchaturian, the composer. Michael Shermer. Charles Ogletree.
Counts!
My cousin works with Bill Nye. Yes, the science guy. I can't tell if he's lying or not; apparently, he's been to his house and ate penguin.
I met Hilary Duff while working on Lizzie McGuire, back in 2001. Adam Lamberg was also the star of that show, although I think he's back in school now. Anyway, during breaks, I became friends with Adam and I even played PS2 with him in his dressing room. Man, I was like 14 at the time and I was playing NBA Live on PS2 with a guy I was watching on TV days before. We played for a few minutes and it was the highlight of my life. We also shot some real basketball too.
I met Shia LaBeouf for the first time on the Disney Channel show Movie Surfers where he was promoting his film Holes. Anyway, my sister and I approached him and got to talking. I shook his hand, got his autograph; he even signed it; "Great working with you!" I met him again in Long Beach for a 2-day shoot; where I was forced to wear a Speedo. I was 14... in a Speedo. Guys don't develop as fast as girls, if you know what I mean.
I've never been to his show, and yet I've seen him multiple times. I think I first saw him at a small auto show in Van Nuys. My uncle took his car to the show; it was a classic Chrysler of some sort. So during the show, my uncle bought a steering wheel so I was holding it and walking around. All of a sudden, Jay Leno pops out of nowhere and he says: "Must have been one hell of an accident!"
Again, I've seen/met the following:
Maroon 5
Kanye West
G-Unit (50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo)
John Legend
Scarlett Johannson
Penélope Cruz
Javier Bardem
Salma Hayek
Harvey Weinstein
Dane Cook
Jon Lovitz
Last week, I saw Craig Ferguson on The Late Late Show. His guest was Kristen Bell from Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Over the weekend, I visited Macy's and told my girlfriend I doubt any celebrities shop at the shopping mall we were in. Five minutes later, as we came out of the elevator, Busta Rhymes was making his way in.
Tonight, I will be seeing Carson Daly on his talk show. His guests include Kevin Connolly from Entourage and T.I. I'm very excited to see both because I am a longtime fan of both Entourage and Mr. Tip Harris.
I've seen many celebrities and even worked with some great ones as well. This past week has just been loaded. Share some of your own celebrity sightings.
You live in Burbank what do you expect?
It's a quite known place for celebs.
I've seen only 4 Celebs in Glendale.
Nicole Richie at Starbucks
Brendon Baker(Johnny Tsunami) at my Gym
and
Simon Cowell at Americana
oh and Lil Wayne was performing one timee in Americana too
I rarely see a celebrity without expecting it; I often put myself in a position to meet them. For example, I go to talk shows or work in television shows or movies to meet actors, directors, etc.
I very rarely come home and tell people I just saw a celebrity driving next to me. Usually, it's always my mother or sister.
