Between my grandfather being a "somebody", working in high-end custom audio shops, and then living in Las Vegas - I've met a LOT of celebrities. Including some that are like, beyond moviestar status. You think rock stars are divas - meet some big name politicians. Most of them are really awful people, lol.
Some standouts (and avoiding the political figures and grandpa, lol)...
Robert Downy Jr. - cool as hell. I'd like to meet him now that he's even bigger and clean; I met him in his young coked-out years. And that man could do enough cocaine in one line to kill a lesser mortal, lmao.
Sarah Brightman - a horrible human being who treated everyone around her like complete shit. I've heard other stories about her being super sweet, but she came to a store I worked at in Seattle and OMG - total mega-bitch.
George Carlin - one of the nicest people I've ever met. RIP.
Coolio - really cool dude. A lot smaller in person than you'd think. He came to a store I worked at, and years later we got to be friends with his wife (still are).
Mike Tyson - In all my dealings with this man, I've never seen the "bad side" of Mike that the tabloids always portray. He is one of the nicest, most genuine people I've ever met, celebrity or not. I've met him several times and had many interactions with him.
Eddy Vedder - kind of a prick, but not as bad as lots of others.
Joe Theisman - really, really nice guy.
Celine Dion - worse than Sarah Brightman. A terrible person.
Several NBA players. Most of them were really cool. Mostly Utah Jazz players, some others too. A few other NFL players besides Joe, all very positive experiences. I was really sad when Broderick Thomas died; he was a regular customer of mine and a REALLY nice guy. I talked to him less than 48 hours before he was killed in a motorcycle accident.

A few MLB players including Griffey Jr in his heyday - great guy.
Lots more but I'm brain farting, lol.
