I met Muhammad Ali once. My wife worked at a museum in Washington DC where they held the premiere party for Jurassic Park. So my wife and I and some of her co-workers crashed the party. The stars of Jurassic Park were there, and so was Spielberg. And Ali. So I went to shake his hand and said it was a pleasure to meet him. I was kinda tongue-tied about it...
That's way too good for this thread.

Oh yeah. I also got glared at once by John Lydon. I dared to look bored at a PiL concert. This was back in '89 when they sucked.
I saw them around '86. They sucked then too. Wish I'd seen them in '79/'80. They most definitely didn't suck then.

Nah, that wasn't him. Say what you will about the dude, but he would have used his real name, properly spelled. Super-inflated ego would have precluded otherwise.  I don't think he wanted to have the trollery he was engaging in here to be searchable and thus linked to him directly. But maybe it was someone just trying to make him look better. At some point I had him pegged as the Sock Puppet Master. But frankly I don't think he has the imagination for it. I never did work out who that was.

Back in the 80s, while I was in university, a buddy of mine wrote a letter (yes, this was before email) to Harlan Ellison basically telling him that he was full of **** re: some story or essay he wrote. One evening some weeks later, while said buddy and I myself were hanging out, likely indulging in some form of mind-altering recreation, the phone rings. I pick it up, and it's none other than Harlan Ellison, personally phoning my buddy to tell him in no uncertain terms why he was full of ****. It was pretty intense.
Was it eventually decided who was the most full of shi t?

Lets share rubbish, minor celebrity related stories. I'll kick off with this. Newport, South Wales, '94 or '95, I was having a meal in a Harvester restaurant with my girlfriend of the time. Sitting at the next table over was the drummer for briefly fashionable Newport Nu-Punks 60ft Dolls, having a meal with his mum and dad. The crap gauntlet has been thrown... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAhAeqSKDXk
