I said hello to Dom Joly a few months ago and he totally ignored me.
Nice and not very nice celebrities who you have met (merged)

Oh wow, you lucky lucky girl. I'm going to sound embarrassingly fangirl-ish, especially as I'm nearly old enough to be Aaron's mum, but I adore him. *sigh*

I have heard similar stories about her too.

That is also true from what I have read and heard. If he was invited somewhere and didn't want to go he would say something along the lines of 'Oh I'd love to but she just wont allow it'

Trigger Happy TV.
I met him in Covent Garden while he was filming it, he was nice back then but he was pretty famous at that point.
I'd love to know if anyone has met any of the Rolling Stones or their partners. Apparently Keef is quite friendly to fans and Anita Pallenberg, his ex and housekeeper, is regularly seen shopping in Chichester, near Keef's English base. Also Ronnie Wood and Bill Wyman are quite happy to pose with fans, but Jagger is reckoned to be remote and gives the impression he is unapproachable.

John Thomson - really cool, funny guy.
Sean Kelly - again naturally funny
Jason Manford - really chatty.
Myleene Klass - I was wrong. In the past I haven't been complimentary of her, however she came across well, a bit loud but a nice lady.

I encountered Jack Russell the ex England wicketkeeper a few weeks ago.
Came across as very arrogant.(unless you were buying his book).

Found myself waiting in a queue at Starbucks behind Will Young. I only noticed when I recognised his voice and he answered "Will" when asked for his name to write on his cup.
He came across as polite and friendly. As I left he was having a very smiley and animated conversation with the girl behind the counter which started whist he was waiting for his drink.

I met him last year and he was absolutely lovely. I posted about it way back on this thread. It got the comment that he ways makes time for people.
Met Joanna Lumley in a coffee shop in central London, she asked if she could sit at my table as it was a bit overcrowded. Lovely lady, very down to earth.
Also chatted to Vernon Kay the same day, staying at same hotel as me, the lift door was about to close and he hit the button to hold it open for me and my Wife.

Check yer missus' phone - he may have texted her
Not me but very good friend. She took a job over in London salon Oxford Street.
I asked for the dirt on any celebs? Holly Willowoby(sp) it seems is a very nasty cow.
Alan Carr is a sweetie and are quite a few of the multimillionaires who visit the salon.

Deborah Meaden really is a lovely lady, very approachable, and seemed genuinely pleased to my saying hello to her, very gracious too.
My pal met Justin Currie who sings with the band Del Amitri. Met him in a Glasgow boozer and said he was a very unassuming fellow who didn't even say he was in the music business.
