"Come ON! That was FUNNY!" and then devolves into making fun of the audience "Look at this guy. He's all ARGH! And his wife is all Ohhhhh! Look at them!"

Now THAT was funny...LOL

That is true. Usually, I just go about my business. In their day to day lives, oddly, I think they like just being viewed as a regular person.

And Lindsay Lohan gets off again! I tell you, this chick is like the teflon don, nothing ever sticks. I bet she could murder someone and she'd still get off scott free. Don't tell me celebrities don't get special treatment in LA

I think it's your perception of who the person is and what grandiose beliefs you've chosen to give to them that determines how you react. Even if you've been living here in LA a long time or not.

Some (rather big) celebrities I see at times I don't react much to. But last Monday when I met Greg Louganis, I couldn't believe my luck and I felt this great wave of excitement come over me. Robert Cray is another artist I was pretty stoked about meeting, too, come to think of it.

I met Magic Johnson. I looked up to him. I saw Tom Cruise. I looked down on him

Last June I was at this little pub on 11th or something Downtown and I was walking over towards Staples Center. In doing so I ran into those nice kids who try and sell you candy for $5. After about 5 minutes of trying to lowball one of them I turned and bumped into a group of guys, and ran into this one guy. I said "excuse me sir" and walked on. My buddy, a huge Kings fan ran up to me and told me I litterally bumped into Wayne Gretzky. I told him he was crazy.

Another time I was driving to the beach with my friends. At a red light a grey haired man with a huge chin pulled up beside us in a suh-weeet Audi. I laughed and said that guy "looked like" Jay Leno

Several years ago, I sold candy at Lakers games. This Cuban dude in a beard brushed passed me, I remarked how much he looked like Andy Garcia

In Afghanistan last year right before we flew back to the States, I was in the DFAC stealing energy drinks. An officer saw me and asked how I was, I didn't really look at him but I sarcastically said "Living the dream!" and ran out. That was Gen. David Petraeus.

I've seen famouse people, but I can never recognize them in person. Though, ironically I IMMEDIATELY recognized Matt "Money" Smith at a Hooters one time.

Did any of you see this 21yr old guy in NYC that pretended to be a Celeb

'Fake Celebrity' Brett Cohen Pranks New York City (VIDEO)

He had a fake entourage ,camera crew following him and all these people acted like they knew who he was

It's kind of ironic because now a lot of people know him so he's actually kind of a celeb.

I wonder if the same thing could be replicated in L.A ..maybe on the Hollywood Walk of Fame...
The daughter of a co-worker went to Hollywood a couple of years ago. Just to have some fun, she got dressed up fine, put on dark glasses and the like. Then, she had her boyfriend start snapping pics like crazy, and asking for her autograph. A swarm of people started to do the same! It drew quite a crowd!!

I dated one and dumped him. He's just a regular guy like other LA guys.
