Most celebrities i've met have been lovely! My Passion are amazingly lovely guys and so are Black Veil Brides and Michael McIntyre. Oh and Madina Lake are incredibly nice and friendly! They've been so many lovely ones i've met but those ones are off the top of my head.

We used to get a lot of celebrities in the supermarket I worked in (it was in a very affluent area). They tended to blend in because all our customers were fairly posh and very picky about their goods so a celebrity wouldn't stand out at all.
Graham Norton used to come in pretty regularly, but he was very different in real life, and would wear normal (like grey/dark) suits and not the flashy stuff he wears on TV and act very normal/quiet (not hyperactive/camp like TV). He blended in well with the bankers/businessmen, and I didn't recognise him until a colleague pointed him out. He was perfectly polite though.
It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do.
We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us.
We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

I met John Be from My Passion after a BVB gig, i'll admit he was lovely, i've met all of The Blackout as well and they are absolutely lovely, Gordon Ramsey and Sharon Osbourne were great as well

The only celebrity I've ever met and spoke to was Mick Foley, the wrestler. He's known for being extremely friendly and courteous to his fans though, and he was to me. He even signed a couple of things for me.
I did a gym induction for a guy who had a gig in our city that evening. Near the end of it making casual conversation I asked him which band he was with and he replied with lostprophets (guitarist/backing vocals). Nice dude, offered me + 2 more to be put on to the gueslist but I had to work that night.
Everything passes, everything changes. Just do what you think you should do.

I have a feeling you worked in the supermarket that I now work in!
I have seen Graham Norton twice at work and he looked grumpy so I didn't say anything to him. I also saw Newton Faulkner but I thought he was just a hippie with dreads until my friend pointed him out
Nobody famous comes to where I live, unless they go to rehab (I think Pete Doherty went to the Cygnet here). Gareth Southgate used to live here and walked right past me when I was outside my house - we both politely glanced at each other then looked away. Apparently Daniel Craig has a gym membership here and a house nearby, but I've never seen him.
My Dad lives in a block of quite nice flats and the penthouse flat is often used for celebrities who are either staying in the area for temporary promo work or who have just moved to the area whilst they look for permenant accommodation.
So far they've had a few footballers (Jordan Henderson, Steven piennaar), David Gest, Rebecca ferguson from X factor, the girls from TOWIE, and I forget who else. My brother loves it, not because he gets to bump into celebs in the lift but because of their cool cars in the basement (his and hers Aston martins, Audi r8 etc)
My dad is kind of used to treating famous people as they get one or two in the hospital occasionally to treat (plus some notorious criminals) so he will just chat to them about normal stuff, most have been quite nice i think. He has Jordan hendersons (liverpool player) dads mobile number.
I havent met any celebrities, unless you count Martin O'Neill (football manager) who was polite and talked about football. Oh and I have met an Olympic medallist (Paul Ratcliffe), but that's always been on family occasions where he's been relaxed. I think an olympic medalist is a lot better than some so-called celebrities who have been on a reality show.
So no celebrities havent met my expectations.

I haven't actually met her, but being a norwich city fc fan, and Delia Smith being majority share holder of the club, i have seen her incredibly drunk. She does like a drink, old Delia!!
The most famous time probably being when she went onto the pitch and shouted through a mega phone at the fans. Was epic.
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
The biggest celebrities I've met were Bernard Voyer (a Canadian explorer who climbed the tallest peaks of each continent, including Everest. Also hiked to the North Pole and the South Pole.) Very lovely guy. I also met the really big guy from 300 because he is from these parts. Very tall and very kind. :p The rest I've met are local and Canadian celebrities and I can't say I've had a bad experience with any of them.
tu as tant de choses à dire,
mais le tout reste enfermer.
et quand tu ne sais plus quoi dire,
tu te mets à pleurer.
Mais ça ton publique le voit pas,
tu l'incites à rêver, pendant que toi tu le regarde...
Paul Martin (he hosts Flog It) lives next door at my partner's, he's lovely and happy to chat. He likes doing stuff for the community too around here. I know he's not a big celeb but other than my dad knowing some football players for Wolves, that's about it for me.
You can't lose hope when it's hopeless.
You gotta hope more,
then put your fingers in your ears and go,
"Blah blah blah blah!"
my job is in the music industry so i meet a lot of famous people. Theres never been anyone thats stuck out as being incredibly rude, but there have been a few that were the other way round.
Everyone told me Charlie from Busted was up his own arse, but he was lovely when i worked with him.
I also expected Ed Sheeran to be a bit of a nob but he spent most of the two days in my office sharing monster munch and was lovely.
Black Veil Brides i expected to be massive divas but they turned up with a bunch of halloween cup cakes and kept feeding me them all day.
OH.. Kesha! now, shes an odd one.. although it was her aftershow party and she was hammered and she was very new to the scene so maybe shes calmed down.
I tend to find the rudest, most annoying people are the hangers on.
I've ran into a few but never really bothered speaking to them. The most speaking I've done was walking into a guy on a pier and stuttering while apologizing while he looked at me amused.
When I was living in NH I guess I rang up some producer/director that seemed well known. The rest of the associates were following him around and I heard them talking about him later. Michael something. I remember the name sounded familiar when I asked to see his credit card while he was paying but couldn't figure out where from. :P

I've been lucky enough to meet and spend time with a fair few 'famous' people over the years - and they are either completely normal people, utterly unchanged by their 'status' or they are complete knobs :)
Spent the day with Ian Mckellen (Gandalf) a while back for example. I was paid for the day to photograph him and discovered soon after my arrival, direct from him, that he did not like photographers, or having his photo taken, at all. It was obviously just a bad day for him anyway - but wow he didn't make it easy and he didnt try to hide it one bit!
Judy dench on the same day however was simply lovely and 100% down to earth.
Often I think famous people need to remember that without all those fans that 'annoy' them - they would be nothing. Least they can do is politely decline requests (which I think is also perfectly fair enough).
