We were waiting for him to come out but one of the other actors came out first. We asked him to get Jonny Lee Miller for us but he thought we were gonna ask for his autograph cos he went to sign the book! That was probably more embarrassing for him... And then when we found Jonny he was standing with an Appleton sister (from All Saints - he went out with one of them) and we completely blanked her. That was kinda rude but I wasnt a fan of All Saints so didnt see the problem!!

I met Chris from Foo Fighters unexectedly one day before one of his other band's shows, he went to shake my hand and I was a bit taken by surprise and shook his hand, however I had a bottle top in my hand. i was mortified. I have also stood 2 feet away from Dave Grohl on three occasions, and totally lost my bottle and ran away, only he saw me run away. .....and randomly, when we went to see Bon Jovi, we walked past the dumdums bus, and i said in a loud voice 'OOOOH DUMDUMS ARE SUPPORTING, WOOOO', after which followed a cheer from inside the bus, i don't know who was in there, but i felt like a fool... haha if we were happy all the time, how would we know we were truly happy?

No matter how it came out, your heart was in the right place!! Anyway Happy New Years to you and yours, as well. Take care, Jenn Hi Josh,

By the way this was on the tour that you guys opened for them, Dave Bryan was really cool he spent ages with us even though they'd just done TFI Friday and TOTP2 in one night, Richie I've met a few times, coolest dude ever, even signed a bootleg for me! Tico and Hugh were cool too completely randomly bumped into them in Dublin day before one of their gigs. At the end of the day JBj loves the almighty $ so I wouldn't worry too much about it lol!! Sound a bit strong ? this is from an ex-die hard - who toured the UK and Ireland just to see all the shows, who had one of the biggest bootleg collections of Jovi on the net. Having said that you just can't deny Slippery and New Jersey are 2 completely classic albums! cheers Darren, Belfast Josh

What a well written blog! Ha ahahahahahaha, that is the teacher in me talking. Josh that is such a deep blog, but a thought prevoking one. The art of contentment. Paul talks about it, and we all strive for it. Moments are achieved then blown away. With contentment comes peace. Ambition is good, as long as it does not disturb the contentment. I was with your mum when we met Robing WIlliams in Hamleys toy store. Her comment was, "they really liked you in hook." I got chatted up by Martie pellow (Know that is spelt wrong) but i did not realise it was him. But that is about my claim to fame limit. Well you can tell your a Knatchable boy.

So I said, in a big enthusiastic way, "It's Liz! Hi Liz!" and then I said "I just realised you don't know who I am..."

I met Graham Coxon in a pub and that was a bit awkward because all I could think to say was "so, I really like Blur" (this was when he was still in Blur... just...), and that didn't seem right, so I didn't say anything. Which was worse because basically for that short amount of time he was actually hanging out with me, so by not saying anything I was being really rude. I do remember he made some kind of joke about pornography but I don't remember what it was, but it did make me smirk. I also met Jeff Noon at a reading/signing thing and I HATE those things, gah. I think they are possibly worse than never meeting the people you go to see at all. He was cool, mind, but I just wanted to get away because my head kept going "I know a lot more about you than you know about me, and you don't have time to get to know me while there are people waiting behind me, so I'd better just go... kthanksbye..."

The only thing I've ever really done is manage to be disgusting about Hayley Williams infront of Hayley Williams. I also told Vic Reeves he was a bit rude when he was coked up and cheating on his wife. Anyway, hope to hear new stuff soon x ps, I always thought stars were burning gas.

We wouldn't have a clue what to say to them if we did meet them, but like you, we would probably say things that came out the wrong way to. What a nightmare. Next time you meet him you'll be able to say 'Hey, remember me, I was the one that insulted you - sorry!", lol. Will watch the latest behind the scenes video now, see what you have been up to. Hope all is well. Take Care x Josh, so jealous of you meeting Jon Bon Jovi and David Bryan!
