It KILLS me to say this as the foo fighters number 1 fan! But at oxygen this year i was listening to the beautiful south and noticed one of the (perhaps) stoned guys behind me resembled Taylor Hawkins! Anyway not until later on did I find out it was indeed him!

He was staying in the same hotel as my Brothers wedding and he arrived
down to the reception and wished the bride n groom all the best,
even had a little dance, then left with his bodygaurds to go clubbing.
All the girls at the wedding were standing on their chairs singing "go Daddy"
"go Daddy" ... then Jodie Kidd arrived in to take a look, shes not all that

LeNNoX

The best I've read so far are che chevra & John Lennon..

I meet stephen hawking while on a stag in amsterdam - we where in the red light district (14 of us, ErinGoBrath was there - member of boards.ie). One of the lads asked stephen if he had any advice, stephen said (in his computer voice) "stay away from the canal"...
Was very funny - coz the nite before the stag actual swam across the canal for a bet.

Hawking has been known to like the strip clubs..

LeNNoX

Also Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta Jones, Bobby Charlton, Michael Schumacher at the Laureus Sports Awards in Lisbon last year.

Pierce Brosnan in his Remington Steele days, when i was a little nipper. He was shooting an episode in Roundwood, where I lived at the time. I even got to play a game of cards with him.

Kim Basinger in Stillorgan Shopping Centre!

Kevin Spacey on Leeson St.

Gay Byrne at a wedding reception.

Andie McDowell(4 Wedddings and a Funeral) nearly getting run over on Dame St. I'm not joking it was a real close call! Didn't have much of a chat with her, other than ask her if she was ok - she was visibly shocked at nearly being hit.

Most recent was Dr. Cox from 'Scrubs' around Temple Bar on Tuesday. Had a great chat with him. Apparently he visits Ireland a lot.

Rcuomo

ah good ol' dr. cox, my friend's friend was going out with him for awhile, she was 24, he's whatever 40-odd and just had gotten divorced, and apparently he got really clingy and she 'had to brake it off with him'...maybe it was the other way around...actually that sounds more likely, but anyway that was the story...
apparently his fav club is tomangos in portmarnock...

Anselm

Eric Cantona - Legend

pugleon

Here's a weird mix, Steve croc hunter Eirwin (very down to earth, its all a show for the cameras) and Stephen "Speeeeel"burg. Those and just about every Comedian worth a crap. Go to ALOT of Comedy gigs. Few singer songwriters, Mark Geary, the Frames. Green Day. That's my lot I think.

Envy the lads who met Billy Corgan (would've lovin to seen the pumpkins live) and Kurt Kobain. And the Foo's. Top stuff!

Binomate

I'd say I'm the most famous person I've ever met, me being God and all.

*Tripper*

Yeah i met O'Drissicol in Lillies once. Talked to him for awhile and have to say he was a sound prick if you get my drift

i worked in a certain dublin niteclub that he would frequently attend and i've never met a bigger prick who was so far up his own ass its unbelievable. Aaargh!!! im away to punch a wall

Bard

Celebrities/famous people I've met, eh?...

I've met a bunch of local bands here in Dundalk - The End Again, Alan Anderson, The Realm, and a few more... and the very talented New York singer/songwriter Rebecca Hart. All of them have been guests on my radio show in the past year. Still haven't gotten the Corrs though

Melanie Chisholm (Mel C/Sporty Spice) - met her in Dublin airport. Very friendly. She was going to London after a Late Late Show appearance, I was going to Washington DC to visit friends. She admired my stuffed tiger. I admired her arse.

Ronan Keating - met him, out shopping in the Omni centre in Santry. He was mobbed by little girls looking for his autograph. Felt sorry for him. Gave him some of my Galaxy Minstrels.

Shane Lynch & other lads from of Boyzone. Met them while tending bar at the christening of one of their babies. One of them had a mildly famous wife who was there too, I believe. All of them were p!ss ignorant to the staff and sh!te tippers. Allegedly.

Mick Lally of Glenroe - met him in the Lambert Puppet Theatre one time. He was either lending his voice to or sticking his hand up the arse of one of the characters... I'm not sure.

I met (then President) Mary Robinson when I was in school... but then again, who didn't? Have also met loads of politicians (mostly PD's - my dad used to be involved with them) including Bobby Molloy, Pat Cox, Des O'Malley and Mary Harney.

Billy Connolly - famous comedian. Didn't exactly meet him, but was sitting with an IrelandOffline colleague (a heavily pregnant Elana Kehoe - a celebrity in her own right!) near him in a hotel foyer, while waiting for the group's first seminar. He was puffing away on a big fat cigar. Was going to ask him to put it out but thought better of it

Derek Flood (Floody from Today FM's "Planet Hits" show) - super nice guy. Only lives around the corner from me. Sold him an MP3 player in work

Gerry Harvey - billionaire chairman and co-founder of Harvey Norman. Met him briefly at a work do in Swords. Very down to earth and easy going guy.

... oh and Michael Flatley onced danced across the street in front of me, in a hurry to catch a train in Pearse station. And I mean danced ... like as if he was just coming on stage in Riverdance... he looked a complete twat.

stepbar

Met Alex Ferguson a few yrs back
