Eilidh has met Zac Efron
So I went on vacation to I THINK Santa Barbra... or somewhere in California with my family. We stayed one or two nights in this really nice hotel, and one day they were setting up for a wedding. My room overlooked the wedding, so my mother and I were people watching from our room cause we were bored, and I was taking pictures of the skyline and stuff outside. When all of a sudden there was this guy walking from the buffet to go and talk to people.. and something about his walk made him stand out from everyone else... so I called my mom over ( i couldn't see his face at this point) and she looked and we both came to the conclusion that it was somebody famous. We just couldn't tell who. So I sit there for a few more minutes staring at this man.. until i realize that its freaking Zac Efron. I like screamed and panicked and begged my mom to let me go downstairs, but my dad wouldn't let me disrupt the wedding. So me, in a bad mood, goes with my family down this boardwalk to eat.. and i sit and search things on twitter to see if he's been spotted anywhere near us, and he was so I was 100% sure it was him.. but I was mad because by the time we'd get back to the hotel he'd be gone. So we walk back to the hotel and my mom wants a drink... so we make our way over to the bar talking about Zac and how amazing it would have been to meet him.. as as we're talking about him.. we walk RIGHT past the reception desk where he was standing, talking to an employee. My like whole body froze and I panicked... and I told my mom that we had passed him and she made me go over to him and talk to him because I was so scared. I asked him if I could get a picture with him ( seriously shaking at this point ) and he was like "sure! :) " and told me to wait a minute or two cause the employee was helping him out with something. He was really sweet and polite about it. And we talked while the employee was sorting stuff out on the computer,,, like about the wedding. He said he was the brides best friend so he was a best man in the wedding, and I asked if he'd been bombarded with people asking for pictures and stuff and he said he hadn't and that it was really peaceful and only one or two people had recognized him. He also had this guy come up and interrupted us and ask if Zac was Zac Efron and he was like "No I'm Jesse Mcartney" and the guy took him seriously and apologized for mistaking him for someone else... it was the funniest thing. I don't remember what else we talked about but we spent a good 10 minutes talking. Then the employee took a picture of us, and he asked my name, shook my hand, then hugged me.

He was seriously the SWEETEST man. And incredibly funny and witty. I just stood there like in awe of his gorgeous-ness! haha,, He looks exactly how he does on a tv screen. He's. so. perfect. And you get this aura of perfectness being around him. It's so unreal. It feels like you're dreaming. He's also really flirty and has this really flirty smile, too. It was just so amazing, and such an experience to meet such an awesome, sweet, caring and charismatic man. And to know what he's really like in real life ( exactly the same as his characters in every movie he's in ). It was just perfect and i'll never forget it :)
Rebecca has met Cobie Smulder
Sorry! There really isn't too much of a story to tell. I was covering the NHL Awards in Las Vegas and Cobie was a presenter. I introduced myself at the after-party since we're both Vancouver girls. A quick 'cheers' with our plastic beer cups, an iPhone selfy later and that's how I got the pic. She was very sweet.
Dion has met Matt Damon
Today, Dion tells us how he met MAtt Damon
"Hello,
Matt Damon was in South Africa for the filming of the movie 'Invictus' with ex Springbok Rugby Captain Francois Pienaar (I also have a photograph with him since I know him through previous contact).
While he was in SA the Cape Argus Cycle race was taking place (2009 I think it was) - it is the world's largest times 110km cycle race. It gets about 40 thousand entries. He, his brother, Francois Pienaar, and a few hundred more of us were all riding for a special charity called MAD (Make A Difference).
This photograph was taken in the starting lineup before we took off. I was speaking to Francois with some friends and he came up with his brother.
He was introduced to myself and some friends and was a very nice guy! We all talked about the movie and the race (the race conditions were terrible! There was a gale force wind and some wet spots). I asked if I could have a photograph and he said sure!
Then a few of my friends were also photographed with him and Francois Pienaar.
The race started and we saw them again a few times along the route. It was a great experience with a super nice guy!"
Thnks Dion. FOr more you can visit Dion's blog.

Matthew has met Zac Efron
Today, Matthew tells us how he met Zec Efron.
"Hello,
I am a film journalist, so I didn't exactly "meet" Zac Efron per se. In fact, I didn't even really speak to him - the girl in the photo is a friend of mine and she made me take the photo of the two of them. She works for OK online.
He was very nice about it though. It was at the press conference for one of his films - I forget which one, possibly Me and Orson Welles and you're not normally allowed to take photos afterwards but my friend insisted."
Thanks a lot Matthew. For more, you can follow Matthew on Twitter : @FilmFan1971

Peggy has met Neil Patrick Harris
Today, Peggy tells us how she met Neil Patrick Harris, the How I met your Mother actor, a while ago.
"Hello,
Well my twin sister and I were born and raised in Minnesota. In the mid to late 90's RENT the musical hit the scene and as teenagers, we fell in love with it.
If you could not afford tickets, you were allowed to RUSH for seats. The theater would not sell tickets in the first two rows, these were set aside for rushers. If you chose to rush, you had to wait in line for tickets. One person was allowed to buy two tickets so if you were rushing with someone you could take turns waiting in line. My sister and I would rush for days on end, sleeping outside of theaters across the United States. Sometimes we would have to sleep outside 2 or 3 nights just to see the show once. By the time we were 20 years old we had both seen the show 40+ times and decided that we would never see it again.
In this picture we are outside of a theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Neil Patrick Harris is from New Mexico and even though he had left the touring cast he came back for these shows in his hometown. As soon as we caught wind of this we packed our bags, jumped in a beat up car and drove 20 hours straight. We were the first in line!"
Thanks a lot Peggy

Sarah has met Darren Criss
Today, Sarah tells us how she met Darren Criss, the Glee actor.
"Hello!
On December 9th, 2012, I met Darren Criss for the first time.
For those of you who don’t know, he is a singer/songwriter/musician and an actor, probably best known right now for his role on Glee as Blaine Anderson.
On December 9th, he was in New York City to play a free outdoor acoustic holiday concert to promote Toys for Tots. After the show, Darren walked across the street and into a hotel presumably to gather his things and do an interview before heading to the airport to fly back to L.A. My friend and I, as well as about ten others, waited outside on the sidewalk to wave to him as he headed out. We’d hoped he’d stop to take photos with us but we figured he was in a hurry to catch his plane so we thought he would probably just wave and say hello as he got in his car. We would have been fine with that.
But as it turned out, he DID end up stopping to take photos with all of us, after another fan asked him politely if he could. I can honestly say that Darren is one of the nicest, most humble people I’ve met. He really did not have to stop to take photos with us, but he did, and for that I’m incredibly grateful. He did ask that we take the photos quickly (he had a car waiting for him right outside the hotel) but he also made sure that everyone had gotten a photo with him before he left.
I also got the chance to have a quick one-on-one conversation with him, and a friend did too, so that was cool. He didn’t seem like a celebrity at all; it was like hanging out with a friend. He was really, really sweet to everyone. I’m honestly a bigger fan now that I’ve met him. It was a great experience and I really hope I get to meet him again in the future!!"
Thanks a lot Sarah
