I literally ran into Paul Newman on 91st and MAdison a while back. Almost walked right into the man, and then after I said "excuse me" turned to the woman who had seen me do it and went- is that who I thought it was????
I don't know if they count as a celebrity, but I've met Cornell West once and Henry Louis (Skip) Gates a number of times.
