"Nick Swardson was playing at this college in my town (before I ended up enrolling) and I was told tickets were for everyone but it turns out, when I got there, that they were for students only. So while everyone was being let in I'm trying to find a way to sneak in or something. After a 15 minutes of wandering looking for a backstage door I saw a door slightly c*****d and as I passed it I saw Nick sitting on a couch. After a little self debate I decided it couldn't hurt to just walk in there right? So I went up to the room and just walked right in. Everyone immediately looked at me and after a short pause Nick goes "What's up?" and I respond with something like "Hey I don't go here but I'm a big fan and I wanted to see your show but It's sold out" so he responds by saying "Really!? Wow" he then turns to one of the kids who set it up and asks "Is it cool if he just stands on the side of the stage or something?" This kid then responds back with, and I'm not joking "If that's your wish" and then Nick said to me "Yeah as long as you don't scream and try and stab me or something it's cool" I didn't end up standing on stage but I did get in for free.**TL;DR** Met Nick Swardson, asked to see his sold out show, he let me in for free."

"Best: Going to high school with Miss USA 2011Worst: Grinding on John McCain in a tightly-packed elevator for 30 seconds."

"I grew up in Los Angeles, so I have a s**tload of these, but this is probably my fav.I met Hilary Swank at the wrap party for Million Dollar Baby because my boyfriend at the time was a PA on the set. It was an informal atmosphere so everyone was just chatting, enjoying some beverages and munching on some finger foods. Somebody introduced me to her, and I said, "Hi, I'm JeanJacquesRoussbro." She replied, "Hi, I'm Hilary," like there was a chance I didn't f*****g know who she was! She was unbelievably sweet and down-to-earth, for the record. It was also her birthday that day, IIRC. She's extremely beautiful in real life, much more so than in pictures."

"Best: Two weeks after moving to New York, a friend gave me an extra ticket to a benefit concert in a tiny, tiny venue. There were a total of three people in the room who were under 30 - me, Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Fallon's friend. (He was on SNL at the time.) A friend of mine was a huge fan to the point of having camped out outside of Rock Center a few times, so I knew I'd have to say hi to him just so I could report back to her. At the after-party the three of us ended up drinking and chatting for an absurdly long time and he was completely cool. It was like hanging out with anybody my age at a ridiculous schmancy party. Worst: Volunteering backstage at President Clinton's New Year's Eve bash in 1999/2000. We were each assigned a celebrity performer, and we'd then have to go knock on their trailer door and walk them to the green room when it was time for them to perform. I was assigned Mick Jones of Foreigner. (Easily one of my least favorite bands of all time, incidentally. And really, does this guy even count as being famous? Halfway into this story, I'm not even sure.) I knock on his door, he's a complete entitled j*****s about not being ready. I said, "Okay, I'll wait out here, just come out when you're ready." I loiter outside the door, a few feet away. 10 minutes goes by. Suddenly the door swings open really hard. I jump to attention. Foreigner dude is standing in the doorway, wearing full black tie from the waist up and some kind of satiny briefs from the waist down, and he is staring at me like I had just pulled the door open and he is now going to murder me. He quickly pulled the door shut and finished dressing and was, in fact, cold as ice on the way to the green room another 10 minutes later. It was the longest 50-yard walk of my life.Thankfully my next assignment was Slash, who was super-duper chill in this kind of awesome big brother type way, and even gave me a guitar pick after the concert. Also met Bono close to midnight but did not try to kiss him.**tl;dr: spent an evening drinking with Jimmy Fallon, flashed by the second most famous guy in Foreigner.**."

"Went to an Obama rally in 2008, me and my friends were towards the front and got to shake his hand. When he went to go shake my friends hand she blurted out "I'm in love with you!" He said, "Why thank you very much" and moved on to the next person."

"A few years ago my family and I went on a trip to London, England (we're from Toronto), and on our first day we went down to have breakfast in the hotel and Thom Yorke was sitting in the very small restaurant in the hotel! My brothers and I are all huge Radiohead fans so we recognized him and silently freaked out instantly. I have a big family and there were 8 of us on this trip and so when we asked for a table for 8 the hostess struggled to find a large enough table. As she was looking around Thom noticed and said "I can move if that helps". I thought it was really cool that he noticed and offered to move to accommodate strangers. There are plenty of non-famous people who would never have done that. We ended up sitting at separate tables but I got to sit about 3 feet from him. When we sat down the waitress brought a glass of orange juice to his table and as she put it down said "Oh! You asked for Grapefruit Juice didn't you?" and he graciously said "I did, but this is just fine". Again, that really impressed me in a weird way. I then ordered Grapefruit Juice in an attempt to subliminally impress him. It was disgusting."

"I had brunch with a couple of friends in DC, and then we decided to go drunk shopping at H&M afterwards. John Lithgow was there shopping with two women who I assume were his wife and daughter. Of all the places to run into John Lithgow..."
