Who are the celebrities you would want to meet one day? Maybe to talk to them, get an autograph, and/or take a photo with them, anything. It doesn't have to be celebrities from movies or TV, it can be anyone who is known has a level of recognition in public, like maybe a famous game developer, politician, comedian, artist, etc. You can list them if you want.
Off the top of my head, the only people celebrities I would like to meet IRL are: Fedor Emelianenko (MMA legend, whom I consider the best fighter ever) Bas Rutten (MMA legend) Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic (Croatian MMA and K-1 kickboxing legend) Jackie Chan (Kung Fu star) Joe Rogan (Fear Factor, UFC, Newsradio) Mara Wilson (from the movie Matilda) Opie and Anthony (shock jocks/cringe radio duo) SUDA51 (creator of games like killer 7) Lola Forner (Miss Spain 1979)
Who are yours, and why?

Hm, I think I could probably go through life without meeting a celebrity and not particularly caring either way, but I would be pretty excited if I did meet the following:
Paul McCartney (member of my favorite band, kind of an obvious thing) Sarbel (I just really like his music :'D I'd totally have a conversation in Greek with him) John Stossel (his books really influenced the way I think about politics)
I don't think I can think of anyone else I'd actually want to meet. As far as lecturing goes, though, I'd jump all over the opportunity to listen to Temple Grandin (autistic savant) and John Elder Robison (author with Asperger's) lecture. Last November, I went to listen to the famous neurologist Oliver Sacks (author of Anthropologist on Mars and The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, among other books) lecture about hallucinations when he came to a book signing in New York, and that was pretty exciting.

I want to be his disciple or just seriously conduct an informational interview on him. Autographs don't mean as much to me as being able to exchange words/ideas.
- Eddie Jobson. AKA Sakuraba's most influential rock-keyboardist/electric violinist. Got to see his band last year in Seattle--too bad I didn't have the VIP pass for the meet-and-greet. (At this point, I already know a disclaimer should have been in order for my fetish for this type of music, but it's too late.)
- Carl Sagan. Unfortunately, I'll have to look for him somewhere in the cosmos.
- Peter Joseph, TZM. It would be great to debate one of my past influential persons. (Or it might not).
- Ron Paul.

All my kpop biases and Ai Wei Wei (although I wouldn't call him a celebrity. He's a political/contemporary artist in China). And Emma Watson.
