justin Bieber being sexy and hot (all the time let's agree)
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!"

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

Sarah has met Emilie de Ravin
Today on the blog, Sarah tells us about her encounter with Emilie de Ravin
"Hi there!
I was extremely excited to meet Emilie de Ravin a few weeks ago because she is one of my all time favourite actresses. I first saw her on my favourite show LOST and then in the film 'Remember Me' with Robert Pattinson, and was thrilled when she was cast on one of my new favourite shows 'Once Upon A Time'.
I met Emilie at the set in Steveston, BC on October 25. It was just me and a few other fans that I knew from visiting the sets previously which was nice because we got more time to chat, opposed to when there's tons of fans there and you have to get a quick photo and then move out of the way so other people can get a chance before the actor gets called back to work.
Emilie was really sweet, she came over and said 'Hi' and the very nice security guard took a photo of us. I then got her to sign my autograph book and she thought it was cool since it's like a miniature prop replica of a book from the show.
 |
| Emilie de Ravin and me |
She joked around asking where I got it and saying she wanted one. I told her how much I enjoyed her on LOST and how glad I was that she was on this show now too and she talked a bit about how much fun she was having working on Once with the cast and creators.
She then proceeded to take photos with the other 3 fans there and we chatted a bit about her character on the show and the precious episode we had just watched. I'm grateful for how generous she was and hope to see her again soon!! We also talked to some other cast that day that i've met previously including Robert Carlyle and Lana Parrilla and others who i'm not allowed to say because the crew doesn't want to spoil the surprise!;) -Sarah"

Ashton has met Justin Bieber
Today, Ashton tells us how she met Justin Biber last month.
"Hello,
Hi my name is Ashton Heath and I was one of the lucky girls who got to meet Justin Bieber on October 19th in Minneapolis. I had been planning this for months and months, actually ever since is Mistletoe Album came out; so about a year ago.
The excitement started when my friend, Joe, and I got tickets to his concert back in May when it was the 1st day of the pre-sale tickets. He and I started planning what we were going to do and how we were going to meet him because I was SO determined to meet him. The closer and closer October 19th came around the more and more excited I got. I knew he had a concert in Canada Thursday night, figuring out they'd leave after that concert and come to Minneapolis, giving them a day off on Friday in Minneapolis. I actually left school to come home Thursday night and stayed up until 4 am making posters and planning every small detail out. Joe, his girlfriend, Kate and I were planning on getting to the cities around 10 am and start from there.
So the morning came early and the excitement was over taking me. We got to the cities and parked, seeing many tour buses in sight my heart was racing. We knew our best bet was Twitter, so we found the Starbucks across from the Target Center and waited there. I brought my laptop so I got on Twitter and pull up everyones twitter that was on the team or apart of the tour; Justin's, Dan's, Kenny's, Alfredo's, Scooters, Ryan's, even Carly's hoping one of them would Tweet something. Finally at about 11 am Scooter tweeted "new day.. new adventure." I immediately tweeted him back asking for any kind of clue as to where they were, I think about there was about 25 tweets to him. Then for some reason I thought to tweet Alredo, because he seems to tweet the fans back a lot. So I asked him the same thing, and finally after 30 tweets Alfredo tweeted back "GYM!" and then deleted it, so only a select few could see it, I being one of them. Joe, Kate and I packed up and headed to Lifetime that was in the Target Center. However; on the way we saw a couple tour buses at the back of the Target Center so we stopped and waited a bit to see if Justin was in one.
Two girls had spotted us and walked up to us asking if we were looking for Justin and of course, we were. So they joined in with us as well as this other girl who was walking by herself. All seven of us headed to Lifetime but since its a gym and none of us had a membership how were we supposed to get in? So Joe went in and asked if Justin was there and they said no if anything he's at the private one, but they wouldn't tell us where the private one was. We tried Googling 'the private Lifetime in Minneapolis,' but nothing showed up so we asked around and finally someone was like, "oh its connected to the Grand Hotel off of 2nd ave and 6th street." We looked it up on GPS and started walking to it, finally turning the corner we saw a tour bus right out side of the hotel and booked it. Some guy waiting for the city bus was like, "you just missed him, he walked in literally five minutes ago."
Kinda bummed, but also excited still knowing we had found his hotel! It was about 12:30 pm and we decided to wait around. The group broke up to make it look less suspicious to other girls because we didn't want a huge crowd, so Kelsey, one of the girls and I waited in at a bus stop and all of a sudden saw his grandparents just walking down the street, we ran up to them and said hi and they casually walked passed us saying hi back. Then the hotel security guy put up and rope to stand behind and right then and there we knew all we had to do was wait. But we didn't know how long it was actually going to be. It had already snowed for 3 hours that morning and was about 40 degrees outside, but I was determined and I was going to meet him. So as time goes on Dan Kanter walks in but stops to take pictures and talk to us for a good 15 minutes, he was such a nice, chill, friendly guy!
Then Scrappy, his stage manager, stopped by and did the same, as did Kenny, one of his body guards. We saw Alfredo walk in but only at the last second. At about 6 pm the group of girls saw Justin Alfredo and Ryan walking down the street towards the hotel and they ran towards him but he ran into the garage entrance and had said, "I love you guys, I'll be back later."

Kelsey and I managed to sneak into the hotel, so when we heard that we were a little sad we had missed him and decide to wait outside with the rest of the girls. Finally at about 8:30 pm Justin drove by the front of the hotel hanging out the window giving us the peace sign and drove off. The girls and I chased the car but couldn't keep up and figured he had gone out to dinner and would be back like promised. So we waited, and waited, and waited. The group grew larger and larger making me doubt he'd actually stop and take pictures with us, but I stayed. All of a sudden a couple minutes before mid night Justin's car pulls up and stops. He got out of the car with Alfredo and a body guard and we all ran towards him. The body guard put out his hands and said, "Stop! If you run to him he's just going to get back into the car and leave. Let him come to you."
At this time my heart was racing and I was shaking, seeing Justin in the flesh.... Never thought that would happen so close to me. Justin then came up to me and Kelsey and was like, "I'm going to start on this side," as he singled for me to come and take a picture with him. I couldn't believe it.
 |
| Justin Bieber and me |
I got my picture with him, hugged him, said thank you.. as his response was, "your welcome sweetie," and I walked away.
My friend realized her camera had died and asked if she could use my camera, and of course she could. So I stood by her and she waited for her turn, she handed Alfredo the camera and Justin saw I was to the side, he held out his arm grabbing my shoulder to pull me in as he said, "you might as well join in on the picture," and smiled at me. So I had gotten a second picture with him. After he spent a couple minutes outside with the fans, taking as many pictures as he could, he politely told us he had to go and hoped that we would enjoy the show tomorrow.
As he got back into the car we saw Selena in the back seat so we screamed to her as well. They finally drove into the garage and went about their night. Surprisingly I didn't cry, the girls I were with cried and screamed and as I watched them I just smiled, knowing that I accomplished the one thing in life I wanted to do. Of course I 'fangirled' and screamed, but I didn't cry.
My dream came true, I met Justin Bieber, after 3 years of wanting to meet him it finally came true. It was worth every second of that day. I stood out in the snow and rain in 40 degree weather for 12 hours. Didn't eat or drink anything all day.
But it was SOOO worth it! And if there was one thing I learned from this experience it's that if you really want something and you set your mind to it, it's possible! The next day I had so many people message me telling me how inspirational my story was to them, and it makes me happy knowing that I can help show people that anything is possible. If your reading this and feel discouraged because you don't think its possible or will happen, I promise you that if you don't give up and you dedicate your time to doing this, it is possible.
Honestly, never say never, because I never thought this day would come for me, and it did. And it was everything I could ever imagine it being and more. He is an incredible human being, with so much love and compassion towards his fans. If he has the opportunity to meet fans, he will take time out of his day or night to do so. Have faith in him, he won't let you down"
