seeing celebrities in public

I live in Brooklyn and worked in Manhattan by Bloomingdale's. There you see a lot of stars. To be honest I am really not that interested in them. The only one I ever got really excited about was John Cleese. I have to say he was very nice.

I haven't myself yet, so I know if I did, I'd be a little shocked at first. But the one reason I do not envy celebrities is because they have no private life...so if I did see one, I'd leave it be, allow them to go about their business, and even send a little prayer up above to keep them safe and sane another day! The chances of me running into a celebrity are pretty slim. I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio, so the biggest two things related to celebrities here are that Nick Lachey and George Clooney are from here. I think Katie Holmes might be, too, if I'm thinking correctly. However, going through my grandma's photo albums, there's all sorts of pictures of my uncle with celebrities. He's good friends with Elton John as he didn't miss a concert in twenty years, and finally the staff pulled him back to meet with Elton after realizing this. They're good friends, and my uncle even bought one of Elton John's concert costumes and has it on display right at his front door in his condo in Boston. He often sees celebrities up near Boston and New York, then tells us back in Ohio. It's pretty interesting.

I've seen quite a few. If I'm at the mall or something I will ignore them as I ignore other strangers. They have a right to go about their business without being hounded by a bunch of drooling fans. If I have a reason to talk to them, I will. They are people just like everyone else. To ignore someone when there is a reason to talk to them is just as rude as hounding them or trying to touch them or get their autograph. I don't watch TV more than a few hours a month, so I really wouldn't recognize most stars. One of the people here on myLot made a movie quiz on facebook. I got 2 right just by guessing. I hadn't a clue as to any of the answers. That's really bad when I didn't know one single answer. My favorite star is long gone. Lucille Ball. She was something to behold. I think she was and probably still is the most talented women in show business. Even if she was alive (and she's not) and I ran into her in public (impossible), I still wouldn't invade her privacy. I might inadvertently stare and gape at her (I'm human and she's a goddess), but I wouldn't bother her. Lucille Ball is probably the only performer who I really admire. She rocks! Regarding pictures: If there is a reason for the picture, such as some activity or award or photo opp, I will be polite and pose with them, but not just to have a picture with a "celebrity". I posed with the San Francisco mayor once with my neighborhood watch group. We were getting an award for our work of keeping our streets safe and it was photographed for prosperity. I've had a few incidents like that were I'm photographed with some mini celebrity because of my work. Now if they are at a table signing their books where they are out to meet the public, I might stand in line to get a book signed. That is if I liked their work enough to want to buy a hard cover book. I usually buy second hand paperbacks because they are much cheaper. I can get 20 books for the price of one new hardcover.

Not too many celebrities come to my hometown, but I doubt that it would make any difference to me. I've never been awed to people.

I have never seen any celebrities. Where I live there aren't very many. Sometimes I hear of one in town to shoot a movie but I have never seen them. One time we went to a play in New York, and there was supposed to be someone famous in the audience, but I never saw him. If I did see one, I wouldn't ask for an autograph, or even go up to them. I think they deserve some privacy also.

No, I never had this chance earlier but I am looking forward to that one chance when my favorite celebrity is available next to me and I can ask for autograph and a picture together. I remember shooting of a movie that I could witness but there was no actor or actress that time, it was a comedy scene being taken. I would love to meet Amitabh Bacchan and the junior bacchan bahu :)

Yes, I’ve seen celebrity film stars in the public…I’ve even watched them during outdoor shoots. My previous office was in an area which was famous for aristocratic houses hired by studio for shooting films…more often than not, we’d see entire units landing up at the nearby footpaths and the shoot would continue throughout the day! Initially it was just fun watching them do the same thing again and again but after some time, it just became very commonplace. In any case, I never went up to any of them for autographs or whatever…I feel they already have a huge ego and I don’t want to inflate it further.

Here in our country, what I noticed was, whenever people see artists on the mall, of course they stare at them, and make side comments on how the artist look in person. Me too, I look at them also, but I have not seen people asking to take pictures with them. Yes, this is for sure. I have not encountered any people did this. Even if the artist is indeed famous.

I have met many international reggae singers. Also being pohotgraphed with some. American celebreties are a little harder to met. They seem to have a lot of bodyguards and security.

Since I wouldn't have a clue who most of the people currently falling into this ever widening chasm of "celebrity" were, I wouldn't react at all.

I work in the building of the country's biggest network so I do see some celebrities every once in a while. On Sunday noon time, I saw the little girl who played the young Agua Bendita. :) I rarely feel the urge to have their picture taken but I wanted so badly to take hers because she was just sooooo adorable. I didn't approach her though. Except for when I was a little girl and they shot Estudyante Blues in the school next to our house, I haven't asked for any celebrity's autograph or picture. Not even when Gerard Anderson was right next to me in the queue for the ATM. hays. hehe. :)

There are so many artist from our city, we tend to not to much care about them if we meet the in the mall. That is why so many artist love to have vacation to our town because no one will bother them. Few year ago I am using public transportation with famous singer but no one seem to care.

I've seen some celebrities at the Mall,and my reaction was to look at them very very closely so that i can see and tell them if they are really just like in the television,because sometimes they are fat on TV but they are really not that on personal appearance..that is why i want to see them very closely.lolz.but i think i never even saw foreign actor or actresses but it that happened maybe i will take a picture from them or even the stolen shot one..

i would like rub my eyes few times and hoping that it was not the wrong person.i do get excited sometimes and i kinda ask for autograph and pictures.once my frend saw a singaporean singer,he is a kind of hot guy and that guy wink at her.she is so freaking happy that day and couln't stop saying about it.

I often see celebrities actually in my day to day work - i work for a tv network and celebrities are like our co- employees. :D he he well if there is really big star we would actually ask them for pictures, those stars that are new - they are just like common people in our work place and you see them often so its like no big deal. :)

I served some. Mainly related to Football but I have come across musicians, actors and millionaires. The most famous name that I've come across was a football manager Sven Goran Erickson and I served him as a waiter when he used to dine at the place I worked. I spoke to him several times, as I support the club he was with at the time. This might not mean anything to you :) Another name would be Jools Holland who stayed at the hotel at the side of our restaurant.

Hi there pierrella! I often see celebrities around. I do not find that unusual because I have lived in places where they are a common sight. Even while on travel abroad and I get to see celebrities, I do not act differently. To some extent, I am happy to see them but I do not go up to them to ask for their signature neither do I do up to them to ask to have a picture with them. If ever I end up in pictures with some celebrities in it, it is probably because they were invited in a party where I was also invited.

The closest that I've ever came in my life to seeing a celebrity when I was out in public was when I was a senior in high school and we were on our spring break in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We were taking a day trip from Fort Lauderdale down to the Florida keys and while we were passing through Miami we saw Whoopi Goldberg driving in a car next to us. Of course we weren't able to stop her and take pictures with her, but it was a neat experience none the less.

I saw celebrity in public places few times only. I didn't come up to them at all cause I know that that is their private moments but when they are at stage performing I just watch them. I'm too shy to ask a picture with them, although I really wish I can take picture with them.

I live in a small city so I have rery few such opportunities.However even though I once encounter a celebrity I would not be so excited.It goes without saying that asking celebrity for a signature or something else is a kind of thing young man likes to do.I am an old man.
