Have you ever been starstruck? (and what does it say when I am by a well-known conspiracy theorist?)

I’m too unobservant or uninformed to even realise someone is a celebrity to get star struck when I meet one.

I was a bit tongue-tied when I met Boy George… but I’ve loved him since I was little.

I’m sorry, but that’s really cute, and it made me laugh.

So far, I’ve been able to keep my cool when meeting famous people. It’s mostly been authors and TV stars. And the occasional well-known politician. There are a couple of celebrities, though, who I’m pretty sure would induce fansqueeing and Kermit-style flailing from me.

@kevbo Well we all know that conspicracy theories are your thing so it makes perfect sense to me. You probably feel the way I’d feel if I met Rocky and Bullwinkle in the flesh.

I get like that around Chefs! (not the celebrity ones on TV… they’re cool and all but I’m talking about the ones the local high end restaurants, the ones in the trenches that you don’t (or rarely ever) see on Television… I have a girl crush on Alison Barshak (she’s HOT and talented) and she was out and about visiting tables when we went to eat at her newest restaurant… I could barely speak, and then when I did, I was just GUSHING… (I don’t GUSH!) my husband thought it was hysterical.

I went to see Jenny Lewis in concert (I’m a hug fan) and was the first one there. I sat down with my laptop and starting playing her music to get pumped up, and I even had a notepad with me in case she walked by and I could get her autograph. Well, she did walk by, but she was in a black leather miniskirt and I was so smitten I couldn’t even stand up. I just mumbled a feeble “Hi” and she said “Hi” and walked into the building.

Loooooove her.

Are you not going to tell us who it was?

@syz, well let me back up and explain that I didn’t even meet him. I was delivering flowers today and got an order for his address. His wife answered and respectfully redirected my modest inquiry to their Web site. I’ve long (and latently) thought it would be cool to meet this guy, so I’d rather do that then say. She was fairly concerned about their privacy, which is understandable.

@janbb, thanks. Sometimes you don’t know how far off the map you’ve traveled until you wander into the lost city (or something).

I was like a pre-pubescent girl at a Jonas Brothers concert when I met Liam Gallagher(of Oasis fame) at a hotel in Edmonton last year.

I’ve never gotten to meet any “celebrity” I’ve felt very strongly about, but wow, what a cool way to sort of run into one of yours!

I’m friends with a singer from a famous 90’s band, I was a big fan and it was weird getting to know the guy

what’s that thing they say about never meet your heroes? lol

If I knocked on the door of a celebrity, the only two that would leave me weak-kneed and speechless would be Bill Clinton and John Elway.

I was going to write more but I started to daydream. sorry

@jonsblond, wash your hands ;-)

This one site insists that Oscar Wilde was a well known conspiracy theorist. I would certainly be a bit pink-cheeked to have met him.

When I was on American Bandstand once in Philly my GF asked me to tell Dick Clark it was her birthday and ask him if she could be in the birthday dance. He was mimicking my hand movements, playfully, as we stood on his podium together. And said yes. So Barbara started the BD dance!
We lived 2 houses down from Dallas Cowboy legend Bob Lilly about 12 years ago. I met him and his sweet wife several times, and went to his neighbor’s house for a Christmas party. I was drinking and staring at him as he watched tv. I finally got up the nerve to ask him if I could have my picture taken with him. He said, “Sure! Over by the tree?” and I said, “no; in the hallway.
So he asked his wife to get their camera and he put his arm around me and I got a pic with him and had it enlarged. His adorable wife delivered it to my doorstep the day we moved via her aluminum bike.
Someday I will get a new pc or get this fixed and post it on FB.
