I forgot the best most recent almost met a famous person -- last fall I was in London with a group of American ladies, we were on our way to have dinner before we saw a show.
As we walked past this restaurant there were all these paps on the pavement outside. I said to one of the ladies I was with... "I wonder who they're stalking?" And, another lady answered, "Paris Hilton is in there."
So, we stopped and stood with the crowd for a minute or two waiting to see if she would come out or into view... then, I thought about what we were doing and said, "What are we waiting for? Paris Hilton? That tramp. She is an embarassment to Americans. Let's go to dinner." And, as soon as I said it -- not only did my group of ladies move on, but the whole pavement (photogs excluded) started to move on. LOL
