I'm including games industry people in this.   
 
Posting pics get you bonus XP(or atleast it should)
 
The only one I have ever met was the model Jodie Marsh (UK readers will know all about her). She's a minor celebrity and not the kind of person I want to admit to meeting.  
 
I swear I saw the back of David Ginola once.

Too many to mention here, I used to be a sound engineer for MTV europe in my younger days. However Toots and the Maytals and Prince Buster are my personal highlights.

I met Shaq and his agent a couple of months ago. I was in a hat shop, he came in and the people in the shop didn't speak English, so he asked me if I knew a good Italian restaurant. My girlfriend and I just so happened to be going to one of San Francisco's oldest and best Italian restaurants, so I told him about it and invited the two of them to join us. They did. Nice people, it was a quick lunch. Shaq is VERY soft spoken, almost shy. I'm 6'2" and dude makes me look tiny in comparison. 
 
When we left the restaurant there was a group of people gathered around, a bunch of them had brand new basketballs and those metallic magic markers for him to sign, which he did. Also, he posed for pictures with a few kids that were there. I don't know how all those people knew that he was at that restaurant, or how they got those basketballs so quickly. We were only there for 45 minutes or less.

I tend to encounter a fair few famous people through my work from time to time. A few local sports personalities that no one or few people would know here. A couple of politicians, Kim Beazley was one of my favorite customers while I was working in South Perth. I also met Dave Grohl at the same place which was doubley awesome because of the reaction of one of my colleagues who was a big fan. I guess pretty much anyone has been to events that sort of demand meetings like book signings etc.

@Ivos:  Correct, I met him at an airport just after he had resigned, he is surprisingly short in real life.

I have met in person: 
 
Latoya London: She was the fourth place finalist of the third season of American Idol, many, including myself will argue that she should of won the whole thing. I got the chance to meet her because she happens to be the sister of one of my teachers when I was in High School. 
 
Marcus Henderson: Hes the man who did most of the cover guitar work for the first 2 Guitar Hero games. I met him at a Gamestop GH2 tournament here in the Bay Area. 
 
If you count over the internet: 
 
I am part of the PlayerOnePodcast community so I have had the chance to play many online games with Chris Johnston, Greg Sewert and Phil Theobald all who were from Electronic Gaming Monthly. 
 
I also had the lucky chance of one time being in an XBL party with Garnett Lee, IT WAS AWESOME!

I can only think of two right now.
 
1: (then) Governor Dirk Kempthorn for Idaho. He was Idaho's Senator before that. Then he became the Secretary of the Interior under Bush. From wiki: "Kempthorne has been mentioned as a possible candidate for U.S. President in 2012". Pretty cool guy.
 
2: The 14th Dalai Lama. "Tenzin Gyatso." I shook his hand. I'm not even sure how to explain on that further. It was when he came to Idaho for...something, I can't recall what, a few years ago. I was just standing back stage (my mom was one of the people helping set up the place) when he got there and he shook my hand (before anyone elses, ha :P). Also a pretty cool guy.

Most of the people I've met are from university lectures. Paul Rusesabagina (the focus of the movie Hotel Rwanda), Ice-T, various writers and scientists. Though other than Ice-T I'm not sure you could call those people famous in the mainstream sense.

I've met a few famous people in my day, but my favorite famous-person-meeting was Yanni. It's impossible to describe it in text, but the whole exchange was fucking amazing.

@Astras: Not that impressive TBH, she was dressed down. When my friend got a photo with her she arched her back so they stuck out though. Atleast she knows how to flaunt them at the right time

I met Orson Scott Card and learned from Soho Machida for a year. The former I would expect you to know (Ender's Game, Shadow Complex), while the latter is more of a politically known figure who you wouldn't know unless you are into Asian philosophy or you know about the Kyoto Protocol.

I'm on friendly terms with a couple of the blackrock designers and i'm friends with someone who works at relentless. 
In terms of really famous people we used to be friends with an old chelsea player, hugo, before he got on chelsea. after that he became a douche aparently... (I was 8 or so)
