Celebrity Encounters IIII once stood next to Ian Beale out of EastEnders in the gents' toilets at the BBC. BEAT THAT. Tell us of celebrity encounters that went well, or meetings with the famous that ended up as a complete disaster. (And we'll take it as read you've just made up a "I got touched up by Jimmy Savile" story, OK?)

My friend Simonis a fairly well-known jazz musician in Tokyo. One evening playing in the Hyatt, the manager asked if a guest could sing with the band. As he began to say no fairly emphatically, it emerged that the guest in question was Lady Gaga. And in my opinion she does rather well (Simon's the ginger chap on piano): www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdCks_Nd1v0

Apparently......she sang on the jazz circuit in New York for some years before becoming a pop star.

Wholeheartedly concur.You don't see too many musicians on the jazz circuit whose every move screams "PAAAAAAAY SOME ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!".
I've heard Christina Aguilera sing some lounge-style stuff as well; she has a seriously decent voice, completely wasted on the stuff she does normally.
