I met, and hung out with, John C. Reilly. He was touring with a bunch of folk musicians, because he plays folk music, and had invited a friend of my wife's along on tour. They made a stop near my home, my wife and I went and saw them and we hung out afterwards at their hotel drinking beers and playing music. On tour with John; Becky Stark, Tom Brosseau, (formerly of the Old Crow Medicine Show) Willie Watson, Dan Bern (wrote the songs for Walk Hard), and Andru Bemis (our friend).
Jason Webley. My wife and I share a lot of the same friends and we all get lunch when he is in town. He also offciated the suprise, in the park, wedding between Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer.
Neil Gaiman signed a copy of a Hellraiser comic I own, he contributed a story in it.
I was there when my wife checked in Anthony Keidis (Red Hot Chili Peppers) to the hotel she was working at at the time...he is really greasy looking.

I met Nick Bayton from GW once. He liked my Venom and told me off for using unbased models. Oh well.

I also met and briefly chatted up Curtis Sliwa at the Cique de Soleil when they were in Manhattan in the 90s, Judy Blume at the book convention I was working, and went to high school and had many classes with the journalist Libby Copeland. That's it, pretty underwhelming, none since I moved to the midwest.

That doesn't make much sense. You could have at least done a google search for Dr Dre. Or linked someone else who legitimately could be called Dr Dre:

I got to meet the members of 311 a long time ago at a concert. They were just walking around the venue, and me and my friends recognized them. Really nice guys, fun to joke around with.
I also got to meet George Lowe...well, via telephone. A good friend co-owns an advertising company, and was working with him for some kind of commercial. Well, he accidentally called him when trying to play a voicemail for myself and a friend that Lowe left on his phone. After hanging up, Lowe called him back, and we basically had a 20 minutes conversation with him. Really, really funny guy, and one of the coolest moments of my life for sure.
My history teacher almost ran over Prince Harry with her car. He was jaywalking
Speaking of killing/nearly killing famous people...my biology teacher was a descendent of Robert DeBruce, the guy who betrayed Wallace. That led to an interesting discussion in class. It got even funnier when a girl in my class could trace her lineage to Abe Lincoln and our history teacher was related to John Wilks Booth! I suggested a royal rumble for family honor and all that, but the teachers voted it down. Good thing too, the bio teacher was built like a Mack truck.
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

While not exactly 'met them' for obvious reasons, I am directly related to these morons: http://www.portifex.com/Dates/Archive/pazzi.htm Also, if you've played Assassin's Creed II, you've had the enjoyment of killing my noble ancestors...
We also at one point in time decided to try and kill the Pope because he was Spanish, but the Spanish army somewhat disagreed with our plans.
If I only knew how to link a picture of Horatio Cain and his sunglasses...
That is the Dr. I was thinking of when I read your post... I took it as there was another significant Dr. Dre around.
Edit: And the 2 pictures that pretre linked I can only see the bottom one, the Dre that I am thinking of, the other Dre is a square box with an X in the middle lol

Well the names are so big or important now, but my great great uncle ran for president a few times and helped create the U.N.
At his funeral I got to meet a bunch of various heads of state, but it was a long time ago and names escape me.
Last summer though I did almost get jumped for almost bumping into Napolitano at a concentration camp in Germany. Not my fault she decided that she was more important than people already going through a small doorway.
Stephen King was my nephew's little league coach back in the day ans is a pretty common sight to see walking around Bangor.
Tracy Hickman was a fixture at my LFGS back in the early 80's and would run campaigns for us. He'd be telling me about books he was working on with myself little realizing how big they'd become. Heck of a nice guy.

Having been a concert promoter for a decade, I met all kinds of people, from local and regional nobody you ever heard of to Johnny Cash, his lovely wife June Carter, Robert Smith and the rest of The Cure.
Was once flagged down in downtown Eugene by Rodney Dangerfield looking for directions to a restaurant.
Also just about literally bumped into actor Sam Elliot as I was leaving the local Walmart. He really is that tall.
And met Rip Torn much the same way, while passing each other in a different local Walmart parking lot.
Oh and how could I forget, I met Rush Limbaugh in the St. Louis airport in 1995 before he stopped flying commercial.

*Talked to King of Sweden and had no idea who he was at the time (that was a fun reveal to see him on stage later)
*Got to hang out with the Blue man group.
*Accidentally barged into Peter's dressing room (of Peter Paul and Mary) while he was practicing. Really cool guy.
*Became good friends with Accept's bassist and his son when I toured Berklee Music college.
*countless smaller blues/bluegrass/rockabilly/country acts through woodsongs over the past few years. Mumford and Sons, Guitar Shorty, Willie Nelson's son, etc.
I need some more cool stories. I'm usually working while other people sneak off to have the cool adventures. I will never forgive myself for missing a chance to meet Mike Rowe.

I asked my wife last night - She's met Frank Bruno. In a pub in blackpool.
One of my mates -
He met Westlife - he booked them into the hotel he worked in.
Met Harry Enfield - he came into the shop where my mate worked and asked
'where's the bottled water?'
'Its behind you...'
He also got his leg patted by Sir Richard Attenborough at drama school.
One of my friends from college met Felicity Kendle on a night out. He was a 'bit' drunk.
He said 'You're Felicity Kendle!'
She said 'I know...'
Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.
As a younger boy I shook hands with Bill Gates. My father used to work for Microsoft three years ago I met the guys of 3 Inches of Blood. And...I saw a guy who looks -just- like George Lucas wandering around Terrace.

I met Michael A. Stackpole once, and Frank Warren, the dude who does PostSecret. I was on the stage crew and ran sound at an event that Lance Amstrong spoke at, and I was maybe 10-15 feet from him while he talked onstage, but I didn't actually meet him.
