My list isn't that long either!

Jodi Benson ~ Went all the way to America to see her! LOVE her!

Emma Watson (Hermione from Harry Potter) ~ Met her on the train going to Bournmouth. Really lovely, normal girl.

The England football team ~ Stayed at the hotel I waitress at.

Brenda Blethyn ~ Also at the hotel.

The list will expand someday soon I hope! I would really love to meet Keira Knightley as well.

Well I already mentioned Hawk Nelson, but since then I've been waved at by Stacy Ferguson (Fergie). I also forgot to mention that I was about five feet away from Arnold Schwarteneggar (sp?) about three years ago, but I didn't actually meet him (though he did give me a thumbs up).

Despite the fact that she has absolutely no talent at anything that she does, I've never got the impression that she's rude, though most people say she is. She seems pretty friendly to me.

She sat down next to me and after a while I finally said "you know, you look familar" and she got embarassed and said that she had been on Melrose Place and I was like "oh! yeah! my mom used to watch that all the time!" She told me she had gone back to school for psychology or something and was taking a break from acting. She was really nice :)

Yeh Paris was not rude and very kind. I had normall conversations with her and she was never stuck up or anything.

One thing Paris is good at is promoting her self! And
I must asmit I do like two of her songs... :oops:

I don't think I've posted here yet... I really haven't met many celebrities, but I saw Dolly Parton at a parade in DollyWood. Not close, but I saw her! Then I met some guy from Surviver. I don't know what season or anything, but he was from my hometown. He was kinda large, and I remember him being a fairly big Christian.

Really, I haven't met many celebrities. There's only... well, two, celebs I want to meet. Julie Andrews, you know I'm a fan, and Anne Hathaway, whom I have a bit of a crush on... :oops:
