[U2@NYC]

Gwyneth Paltrow -- tall, very pretty, very nice and polite and had the grace to extend her lovely hand and say, "hello, my name is gwyneth." as if i didn't know.

Same here... we had dinner together in a NY restaurant (obviously by chance) and she was incredibly nice... I posted details in another thread.

But she also said "hello, my name is Gwyneth"

I didn't actually meet Lenny Kravitz, but does this also count? :

I was vacationing with my family (a biiiig family!) in Italy - we had rented a big big house with a pool up in the mountains in Toscany when all of a sudden a car pulled up and the real estate agent stepped out with LENNY!!
We were all outside lying by the pool and were too dazzled to even move and quit drooling after we realized that it was in fact Lenny Kravitz. Appearantly he was interested in buying the house, which was gorgeous, by the way. I don't know if he ended up buying the place, though.

I live in Belgium so not many celebrities out here, but I did see (not meet) Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger when i travelled to Ohio last year for a fitness contest.
