I slurred and mumbled a bunch of shit to DJ Quik at a Kangol event years back.
He told me he wished he was as drunk as I was.- Had I not been piss drunk, I probably wouldn't have said anything.duckseason

I bumped into the lead singer from the band Live, his name is Ed, and he is a total dick. Avoid if you see him.

Steve Buscemi lives on my street (2 blocks down), so we have run into each other a number of times walking down the sidewalk or at the local bagel shop. Just kind on nod at at each other.
The first time we passed each other on the sidewalk, we did the awkward, "i'm trying to get out of your way, you're trying to get out of mine, but we both zig and zag to the same side of the sidewalk thing... twice."John Turturro also lives a few blocks away, so we see him out and about. The first time we saw him we were standing on the same street corner waiting for the walk signal. I discreetly attempted to tell my wife who we were standing by, but she couldn't hear me and, rather loudly said, "WHO?!?" So I repeated myself, and then she realized who it was. By then John was just staring right at us. We ended up going the same way, sharing the sidewalk for a few blocks. We tried to 'play it cool,' but felt like doofuses.

I was standing behind Taratino once at the KFC on Sunset. They would accept his debit card because he was using it as a credit card (or vice versa ...can't remember) He had no cash and looked really hung over. I offered to pay for his dinner. He thanked me. His wallet was the Bad Mutherfucker wallet. true story.

I haven't said Hi to any people yet. Not so much because I didn't want to do it, but because I am pretty sure they are sick of people approaching them for a handshake or autograph.
So far I have ran into Billy Corgan walking with Matt Chamberlain, Elvis Costello, Alec Baldwin, Travis Barker, Ben Gillies, Bill Hader, Dallas Green, and a few others but thought I'd leave them alone.
I did kinda feel like insulting Mark Wahlberg because he was very arrogant and walking like he was the greatest thing that's happen to earth.

probably not, and i've seen quite a few celebrities out and about in Cape Town. i think that's part of the reason they come here. people don't bother them.
i've gone past Nicole Kidman on an escalator; saw Ralph Fiennes ambling around (looking very drunk or fucked). my dad and his wife had dinner in town a few years back and Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael "Cunnilingus" Douglas was sitting at the next table.

i run into musicians and actors a lot but never say anything unless i actually have something to say to them, which is rare. if i want to become friends with them i'd much prefer it to start on a professional, collaborative level than from a fanboy level. unless we're just standing around with drinks or something in which case i might strike up a conversation

haha i use to work at a health food store in Huntington Beach where Peter North was a regular. I worked in the Vitamins department so he used to come to me for advice on new products. Turns out his regular purchases included Chelated Zinc, assorted mineral supplements and those muscle-head drinks with the Ephedra in em'. we talked all the time, he would come in with a baseball cap on, some girls took photos with him but I never mentioned his work. it was an unspoken respect.
true story.
